There are a few production touches that are "of that time" (the late 70's) and a compromise was made in presenting Lucy's suitors, (Quincy Morris and Lord Godalming are combined into one character), but never have the Brides or the Bloofer Lady been so well done! As I said, Finlay is the Ultimate Van Helsing, FINALLY portrayed as written! Enjoy!Babelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747544542335195389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763125547265537672.post-83794491095886144402010-10-12T18:16:55.072-05:002010-10-12T18:16:55.072-05:00Netflix has the one you're talking about.

Which, by the way, I haven't abandoned even though I haven't updated it in a long time. I think about it daily. I'll have to hunt down that BBC version.AlanDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910363728370240226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763125547265537672.post-37511423478394254192010-10-12T08:53:39.462-05:002010-10-12T08:53:39.462-05:00Apparently the BBC has made another version of Dra...Apparently the BBC has made another version of Dracula (2006) with David Suchet as Van Helsing. From what I can glean from the Wikipedia article on it, it sucks.<br /><br />The whole "modern vampire" situation is parodied to good effect in Terry Pratchett's "Carpe Jugulem" in which the younger vampires have a faddish trend of wearing ordinary clothes, pretending to drink milk, and going by such names as "Roger" and "Betty" instead of Lachrymosa and Vlad. Even the victims are happier when a good old-fashioned Count returns to the scene.Brerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429065718316352989noreply@blogger.com
