Product Description: Bram Stoker's DraculaRelease poster DRACULA: Palance stars as the evil count in this fine made-for-television version of the Dracula story. Dracula is searching for a woman who looks like his long dead wife. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dracula, also known as Bram Stoker's Dracula and Dan Curtis' Dracula, is a 1974 British made-for-television gothic horror film and adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. It was written by Richard Matheson and directed by Dark Shadows creator Dan Curtis, with Jack Palance in the title role. It was the second collaboration for Curtis and Palance after the 1968 TV film The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Plot "Bistritz, Hungary May 1897": natives in Transylvania seem afraid when they learn solicitor Jonathan Harker is going to Castle Dracula. Jonathan finds the Count abrupt and impatient to get things done. Dracula reacts very strongly to a photograph of Harker's fiancée Mina and her best friend, Lucy. After preventing his brides from devouring Harker, he forces the young solicitor to write a letter saying he will be staying in Transylvania for a month. Harker climbs down the castle wall and finds Dracula's coffin but is attacked and knocked out by one of Dracula's gypsy servants before he can stake Dracula. They later throw him in the lower levels of the crypt, where the brides attack him again. The Demeter runs aground carrying only Dracula and the dead captain lashed to the wheel. Soon after, Lucy begins to fall ill. Her fiancé, Arthur Holmwood, is perplexed and calls in Dr. Van Helsing. Dracula arrives at the house in Hillingham and uses remote hypnosis to make the occupants fall asleep, he then turns his attention to Lucy. Entranced, Lucy awakes in a highly aroused state and aware of Draculas presence, immediately makes her way outside to him. Drawn to him and completely spellbound she kneels before him and guides his hand to her neck, confirming she is submissive to him. After a brief and passionate seduction she is fully pliant and completely under his will. Consumed by bloodlust, Dracula exposes Lucy's neck and reveals his fangs. Lucy allows herself to be bitten. Dracula feeds on Lucy as she is in a helpless state of bliss. The doctor starts to recognize what might be happening, after Lucy is found, drained of blood, under a tree the next morning. Dracula has flashbacks of his wife – of whom Lucy is the spitting image – on her deathbed centuries earlier. Lucy's mother is in the room with Arthur when Dracula comes calling the last time, a wolf shattering the window and attacking Arthur. Lucy soon rises from the dead and comes to the window of Arthur's home, begging to be let in. Arthur does so, delighted and amazed that she's alive, unaware that she is now a vampire under Dracula's control. This very nearly gets him bitten, but Van Helsing interrupts with a cross causing her to flee. They go to Lucy's grave and drive a wooden stake into her heart. When Dracula comes to the tomb later and beckons to her, he goes berserk upon finding that she's truly dead. Mina tells Van Helsing about the news story about the Demeter, the boxes of earth, and Jonathan going to meet Dracula to sell him a house. From these clues, Van Helsing and Holmwood go about finding all but one of Dracula's "boxes of earth" (containing his native soil, in which a vampire must rest). But back at the hotel, the vampire hunters discover Dracula is there seeking revenge. He has bitten Mina and, before their eyes, forces her to drink blood from a self-inflicted gash in his chest. All that they love, all that is theirs, he will take, he says. The tracking of Dracula back to his home commences with Van Helsing hypnotizing Mina. Via the bond of blood, she sees through Dracula's eyes and discovers where he is headed. At the castle, Van Helsing and Holmwood find and stake the brides. Jonathan, now a rabid and bloodthirsty vampire, attacks Arthur and Van Helsing, but in the struggle is knocked by Arthur into a pit of spikes and killed. The final confrontation with Dracula takes place in what looks like a grand ballroom. Arthur produces a cross, temporarily keeping Dracula at bay, but the vampire throws a table at them, knocking it away. As Dracula attacks Arthur, Van Helsing pulls down the window curtains, and sunlight pours in. Dracula is weakened, giving Van Helsing the opportunity to pierce his heart with a long spear. They leave him there. Before the portrait of a living warrior Dracula, with Lucy's lookalike in the background, a text scrolls across the screen about a warlord who lived in the area of Hungary known as Transylvania, and how it was said he had found a way to conquer death – a legend no one has ever disproven. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeDVD cover artTHE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR.HYDE: Acclaimed British television production of the immortal tale of the original split-personality by famed author Robert Louis Stevenson. Dr. Henry Jekyll has concocted a chemical cocktail hoping to separate the two beings he believes exist in each person - one good and the other evil. His intent was to free the upright side from evil influences so that humans could do more for our imperfect world. Unfortunately, he accomplishes just the opposite, the evil side is turned loose on society in the form of Mr. Edward Hyde. The first time he tries the potion he goes to The Windmill Music Hall and meets the dancing girl Gwendelyn Thomas. He soon becomes addicted to the excesses he enjoys as Hyde. When one of Gwyn's admirers plots to mug Hyde, he out maneuvers them using a heavy cane with a sword in its shaft. Gwyn gets set up with her own house. Eventually, he has no need to take the transforming potion to become Hyde. And it takes more anti-potion to return him to his Dr Jekyll form. Stryker, a colleague who synthesized an important part of the reversing recipe, tries to blackmail him. He has followed Hyde and knows the whole story. Hyde kills him in a fit of anger. When Gwyn tries to manipulate Jekyll, he spontaneously becomes Hyde and strangles her. Using his last bit of reversing formula, Jekyll tells his solicitor, George Devlin, to help him escape. Devlin knows that the murders were ultimately Jekyll's responsibility and seeks police aide.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a 1968 Canadian-American television film based on the 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
