A high quality movie, the BBC's Dracula of 1977. The movie has a good grade on imdb (7,8 /10 by the time I write this post) and almost 400 votes. So the grade is relevant and it reflects the quality of the movie.
Dracula is played by Louis Jourdan. The first sequence in the movie where we see Dracula:

Dynamite Entertainment will release a new comic book series "that tells the complete story" of Dracula. Five issues written by John Reppion and Leah Moore, joined by the painter Colton Worley, each issue featuring 32 pages of story and graphic art.
Also, as a bonus, you'll find script pages, annotations and samplings of the original text by Bram Stoker!
I like this style: "As the Count leaned over me and his hands touched me... a horrible feeling of nausea came over me, which, do what I would, I could not conceal."

We're getting close to the last parts of Dracula's Curse. (I kinda like this presentation in daily episodes). Well, maybe is not the most interesting Dracula movie but I'm preparing something more interesting for the coming week.
This is a strange post.
I was about to present a link where you can download the "Dracula (Saddleback Illustrated Classics)", made upon the novel of Bram Stoker, "Dracula". However, I'm not sure about the copyright issues. And as I don't encourage warez in any form (I try to respect the intellectual property as much as possible 'cause I know how tough is to create), I won't post it here.
Instead, from the same series I found a free sample of Frankenstein, offered by the editor. Here is the download link.
OK, so let's continue with this Dracula's Curse movie.
Here is the part 9. Sometimes it looks like it's only connection with the Bram Stoker's story of Dracula is vampirism.
Else, a lot of useless violence.
Part 10 of the movie is here.
here is the part 8 of what was considered the worst Dracula movie ever. Just check the IMDB rating for details :) :
see part 7. << and part 9. >>
The sixth part of the same movie , Dracula's Curse is here :
See thepart 5 here. << and part 7 here. >>
I just found a great resource for audio books. What is of interest there is the Dracula Book, there are 11 chapters there, with well-chosen images, according to the subject of every chapter. Start from the first chapter here.
I downloaded few of them and listened the first one. And I can say the quality of the mp3 is very good.
Enjoy, as I did :) !
here is the third part of the movie Dracula's Curse:
Dracula's Course - part 4
Well, while I never did a Dracula Suit myself (I look like Dracula naturally :) ), I found an interesting page about the subject. This one
And if you don't know where to take the fangs from, here is the hint:
I've seen a lot of people recently are trying to find if Dracula was real. Was he a real person or just a legend ?
Well, to make things clear here are the facts: Vlad III Dracula was a ruler of Wallachia (Southern part of the current Romania) that lived in the 15th century. He was born in Sighişoara in 1431 and took the throne for the first time when he was 17. Here is a detailed presentation of his life.
He died killed in a battle in 1476.
Count Dracula, as people knows him, is a fictional character of Bram Stoker, inspired by the 15-th century bloody ruler. Bram Stoker's novel inspired a long series of movies, and you can see part of the Dracula movies here.
That's about all.
Here is a video of two ladies that went to Romania and visited Dracula-related places: Bran Castle, Poienari Castle, etc.
Here is another presentation of Poienari Castle, that I and many others consider to be Vlad Dracula's Real Castle:
Unlike many "presentations" done from the comfort of a sofa and an Internet connection, seems like Teresa and Carolyn took the plane to Romania, hired a guide and have done some intensive research on the spot. Congratulations, girls !
Just a remark, Teresa: Vlad was not "a king of Romania". He was a ruler, called "voievod" in Romanian (voyvod) and he ruled Wallachia, laying in the south of the modern-days Romania.
