DRACULA: The Series Is On The Way From NBC, As Per New Report

Although the media seems to take some pleasure reporting the decline of the vampire genre, it seems that nothing could be further from the truth -- according to Deadline, NBC is exploring a Dracula show.

Describes the site of Dracula (frequent subject of film, novels and comics), "Set in the 1890s, it is described as 'Dangerous Liaisons meets The Tudors' and as a big, sweeping international soap opera that is young, sexy and supernatural. Frequent collaborators Krantz and Callender are executive producing, with Flame’s Reece Pearson co-executive producing."

The way the deal is structured, if the network likes the first script, it will go directly to series, which is the same situation as Bryan Fuller's TV version of Hannibal Lector that's in development.

In some ways, the description of Dracula sounds like a period version of Dark Shadows. If it goes, the show will join such vampiric fare as True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and, of course, the big screen Dark Shadows coming in May.

Barlow from Salems Lot is still my favorite vampire. Not the old TV version but the Novel version.

Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, & other shit like that turned the vampire mythology into a joke. Modern vampire crap is a total disgrace to Bram Srtoker, Bela Lugosi, & Christopher Lee.

Nosferatu gets no love. Dracula is over exposed, well vampires in general are overexposed. Take a break and remake Creature from The Black Lagoon!!!

even though I always hear Bela's voice in my head saying the famous lines.. (and I love my copy of abbott and costello meet frankenstein where Bela reprises the role with lon chaney jr as the wolfman).. i simply loved Christopher Lee as Dracula and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing.

Anyone else think Wes Craven's Dracula films were underrated? I mean sure they weren't as good as the 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula adaption or the Hammer Horror films but still...
