Count Palance is here! The rootin`est tooten`ish low down biten`ist Dracula in these here parts.

Oh. Jack Palance is trying his best to give off Chistopher Lee vibes in his reading the letter.

I forget when exactly I heard it, but once I heard that this little tv movie is the most accurate to the book version of Dracula. SO I guess I'll find out if that's true or someone was pulling my leg at a party.

Dang it. Someone adapt Dracula's Guest! Figure a way to wedge that short story about Dracula telling a female vampire in a mausoleum, "HEY! NO! This one is mine! You can';t have Harker!" Before he ever gets to the castle.

Palance is weird, but he is by far the most normal seeming man to play Dracula. He's just a fancy old noble. Not a weird creepy who only stares at your neck while licking his lips.

Carfax Abbey isn't real. But the place that it's probably a stand in for is a very fitting looking place for Dracula.

Maybe Dracula is just a guy who created the perfect potting soil. He has to take the recipe and samples to England with him to win a rose cultivation competition.

That was the shortest voyage of the Demeter segment ever.
Well shortest that didn't just skip it entirely.

After so many movies I'm starting to question if it was all day for night shooting, or if maybe from the 1930s to the mid 1980s the sky was just a really dark blue at night.

Oh so we are just forgoing the subtext of the neck bite and making out full on the lips before sexy Dracula times.
. . . Oh wait no he remeembered the blood sucking.

"What is happening to her!?"
"Drink?"
"Oh yes of course that sounds smashing."

Has Dracula ever shown up at the funeral for Lucy in any movie? That feels like a missed opportunity for being a menacing creep.
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974
That painting of Lucy is in the same style as the old painting of Vlad Tepes... OMG! The painter is an immortal vampire too!
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974
Now my mind is wandering thinking about a movie told from Lucy's point of view. Sweet now I'm immortal. I can make my boyfriend a vampire too and we can have fun for centuries together!

Why is Jack Drac? I mean for him it was a vacation to England, I get that. But who cast him as Dracula? Why?
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974
#Monsterdon #Dracula1974
Jack Drac is sad! Why did you have to kill Lucy? She liked being a creature of the night.

Dracula is not giving this "respectable hotel" a five star rating on ye olde Yelp.

They are following a trail of dirt... a paper trail of dirt... We are having a momentary Sherlock Holmes detour in this Dracula movie.

Drink from Drac Jack's nipple! Wait what?
Has he been running a marathon? Why are they so bloody?

"Doctor look at this."
Look at what? A hole? A whole that's too secret for the audience?

By Harker. So that's what the hole is for.

Oh no. They took the curtains down and Dracula finally realizes how much of a hoarder's dump his whole castle has become. It's so messy and tacky.

I guess that was the most accurate to the book Dracula so far. Sorta? But not really.
I am fine without Renfield, he's usually the most sidetracking dead end of every version.
Adding in the looking for the reincarnation of his long dead wife is new and many after this took that idea.
Tying him to Vlad Tepes isn't new but more explicit here I guess.
Jack Palance is just a really weird choice as Dracula.
