Title: Dan Curtis' "Dracula"
Post by: Gerard on April 08, 2025, 12:26:52 AM
If anyone would like to watch it again, Dan Curtis' Bram Stoker's Dracula from 1973, starring Jack Palance, is free to watch on tubi.  I did the other night, not having seen it since I can last remember.  I do remember when it was suppose to air on CBS during October 1973 but was preempted by Nixon announcing that Spiro Agnew was taking a hike as vice-prez for getting caught with his hands in Watergate.  I was furious, waiting to watch it in anticipation.  It finally aired, four months later, in February '74.  As I viewed it this time, it sounds as if Robert Cobert's exact music used at the staking of Barnabas in HoDS was reused for the offing of Dracula.

I thought this was one of the best "Dracula"s and fortunately have on DVD, though I haven't watched it in years. Jack Palance was also a good choice. I was always curious about the actress who played Lucy as I never saw her in anything else. I'm pretty sure I saw in in 1974 at age 14 though I don't recall anything about it having been pre-empted in 1973 etc., and then saw a rebroadcast many years later (like maybe 10 years later).
