Also living with Gustav is teen-age Sophie Metternich, who impresses Chris. Max is also obsessed with vampires, and not knowing about Gustav's quest, he misreads several signs and becomes convinced that Gustav is a vampire. With his mother away on an assignment, Max goes to the only other adult he knows, the businessman his mother had introduced him to at a reception the previous day, Alexander Lucard. At Lucard's urging, Max lures Chris and Sophie to Lucard's castle. Upon their arrival, Lucard reveals his true nature. Max and Chris get away, but Sophie is left in Dracula's clutches.

Walter and Anna Dyson, Gustav's old friend and former girlfriend, come to stay at the house. Unknown to Gustav, Max has removed the Cross of the Magyars from the house to have it blessed.

Unfortunately, the cross is returned at the last minute, and it drives Dracula from the house in a blaze of light.

EP3 The Vampire Solution Oct 13, 1990

Gustav and one of his former students, Arthur Bauer, find a rare herb and develop a formula called the quinidrine solution, which they hope will reverse the effects of a vampire's bite. When Arthur is kidnapped, Gustav allows himself to be captured by Lucard so that he can test the solution on himself and Arthur. But the formula doesn't work, because Max has confused it with his high protein energy drink and has consumed all the quinidrine. When the kids arrive to free Gustav, Max is able to fend off Lucard and his lieutenant, Klaus, by firing energy bolts at them through his fingers. They escape back to the house, where the kids quickly use their last remaining quinidrine leaf to mix up another batch of the solution for Gustav and Arthur. Gustav is saved, but Bauer chooses to reamin a vampire. He attacks Gustav, but doesn't know about the Cross of the Magyars, the house's protective talisman...which then destroys him.

Max brings home a bungling vampire-hunting scientist, Magnus St. John-Smythe, who insists that a new laser gun he's developed can destroy vampires using concentrated sunlight.

Lucard determines that Magnus' invention is a waste of time and money when it has no effect on a vampire colleague. Incensed, he's about to vampirize Magnus, when Gustav and Max barge in and stop him. Later, at Lucard's castle, the vampire colleague suddenly disintegrates and Lucard becomes the proud owner of the world's only delayed-action vampire gun...which he then destroys.

However, the coffin is only a decoy placed there by Lucard and in fact contains not Lucard, but Lane Zorro, nebbish vampire, who is borrowing it.

Gustav tries to warn Tickler, but he's utterly oblivious to anything other than the chance to further his career.

Lucard has realized that he could use St. John-Smythe's anti-vampire gun in his own defense, so he kidnaps Tickler and sends a ransom note to St. John-Smythe in order to lure him to the castle. As an extra incentive for St. John-Smythe to build another copy of the gun, Lucard captures Gustav and locks him in a shrinking room.

EP13 Bad Blood Jan 19, 1991

Lucard bites a young thief with a rare antigen in his blood which can kill the vampire who ingests it. The famous vampire doctor, Gabor Varney, tells him that there is only one cure--water from the Paquette Spring in the Bettange Valley. Sick and delirious, Lucard doesn't trust anyone, and insists on going to the spring himself. Once there, he discovers that the water has been polluted by one of his own factories. As Lucard lies dying, Gustav and Max arrive to finish him off. Fortunately, Varney stops them and gives Lucard a vial of the water, purified, which returns him to normal. Meanwhile, Sophie is dating a creepy young existentialist poet named Vincent, and Chris is jealous. In fact, Vincent is the thief whom Lucard bit; now a vampire himself, he attacks Chris, who spurns him with a cross but discovers that it's already too late to save Sophie.

Meanwhile, Gustav finds the key to restoring Sophie to her human self in Vincent's unusual blood type, and Chris is able to introduce the solution into her system with a kiss. Pfenning's plan to kill Lucard fails when Lucard uses sleight-of-hand to switch glasses with her, giving her the wine tainted with holy water that she had intended for him to drink. Pfenning disintegrates, but nearly destroys the finish on Lucard's table!

Having been rescued by Chris, Sophie is about to fall for him, but his old girlfriend Alexa turns up from Philadelphia. Her obnoxious American businessman father, Ted Singleton, is doing business with Lucard and makes the mistake of not taking him seriously enough. They plan a trade of Singleton's new computer chip for a briefcase of money, but Lucard takes both, and almost takes Alexa as well. Utterly ruined, Singleton has no choice but to offer himself to Lucard, who has been wanting to extend his empire into the US.

EP16 My Fair Vampire Feb 09, 1991

Gustav's best friend, a fellow vampire hunter named Frederick Rilling, claims that people at his old age home are being killed by a vampire. He asks Gustav to help him destroy the one responsible. Meanwhile, Lucard tries to play Pygmalion to an airheaded Galatea named Amber Santana.

EP19 Bats in the Attic Apr 27, 1991

Max meets Lawrence Lei, a rather Norman Bates-ish neurotic bookseller who has a peculiar interest in vampires. Gustav doesn't trust him, and Lucard finds him much too bizarre for his taste when he shows up at the castle asking to be made a vampire. Lawrence mentions that his friend Alfred won't make him a vampire either, and Lucard decides to hunt down this Alfred, whom he suspects is responsible for the recent upsurge in the area's population of inferior zombies. When Gustav's hot and steamy schnitzel arrives neither hot nor steamy, delivered by a glassy-eyed delivery boy who is destroyed by the Cross of the Magyars, Gustav tracks his origin back to Alfred as well. However, it turns out that Lawrence's friend Alfred is nothing more than an inflatable vampire doll and that Lawrence is the real vampire. Intrigued by Lawrence/Alfred's split personality, Lucard seals the bookseller in a coffin for safe keeping.

EP20 My Dinner With Lucard May 04, 1991

Gustav and the kids go to dinner at Lucard's castle...?? Full of flashbacks, including a great one that must have been cut from Bad Blood. And, a hilarious Klaus-climax.

EP21 Klaus Encounters of the Interred Kind May 11, 1991

The finale cliff-hanger. Gustav discovers a way to reclaim Klaus from the world between the living and the dead that vampires inhabit. His theory is that vampires exist outside of time--and he has found a break in time...at Lucard's castle.

Synopsis

Dracula: The Series is a short-lived syndicated series about Count Dracula and his struggles with Gustav Van Helsing, as well as Gustav's young nephews — Maximilian and Christopher Townsend. They were also aided by a schoolgirl, Sophie Metternich. Romantic tensions developed between Chris and Sophie. The series was filmed in Luxembourg, and produced by Phil Bedard and Larry Lalonde, best known for their work on John Woo's Once a Thief and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. The series formula was relatively straightforward, with the four heroes learning of some plot by Lucard/Dracula and attempting to foil it, with at least some success. In keeping with the novel, but not most film and television lore, vampires could walk in sunlight but lacked their powers. Anyone bitten just once by a vampire transformed into a zombie-like servant. This process could be stopped by applying holy water to the bite.

Reviews

CountVladDracula I was watching the Dracula the series DVD set and I realized there is a pretty big mistake and this mistake dates back to the series' original air dates.The final episode of the series is Klaus Encounters of the Interned Kind. This ends with the semi-cliff hanger of Gustav Helsing following Lucard (Dracula) and Klaus through a portal in Dracula's castle. And the boys Christopher and Max preparing to return to America with all of Gustav's notes. Yet someone made the mistake of airing the episode My Dinner with Lucard after Klaus Encounters of the Interned Kind.My Dinner with Lucard is a clips episode of all the previous episodes (leading up to Klaus Encounters of the Interned Kind) and turned out to be a dream of Gustav Helsing. This is clearly set BEFORE he followed Lucard through the portal. I do not know why it was aired in the wrong order or why the DVD set maintains this misorder.Otherwise it's a great DVD set of a fun TV series in the vein (if you pardon the pun) of shows like Goosebumps. The show focuses on the adventures of sixteen-year-old Christopher Townsend and his ten-year-old brother Max Townsend. They take up residence with their Uncle Gustav Helsing who lives with a local student, Sophie. Chris and Max soon learn that their uncle is actually a vampire hunter from a long line of vampire hunters and their biggest thread is Alexander Lucard, a highly successful and corrupt corporate mogul (sort of like David Xanatos of Gargoyles) who turns out to be Dracula himself. It's a fun show but jut be wary of the mistake in the episode order.

insightstraight "Dracula: The Series" had all the elements of a forgettable kid's series, but was saved from that crowded ghetto by lush locations (Luxembourg), clever writing, and the wonderful presence of Geordie Johnson as the title character.Handsome, confident, and typically with a slight smile playing about his lips, Johnson brings a nice interpretation to the role. Rather than the tortured and sometimes wimpy psycho-studies we have too-often been subjected to in the vampire realm, Johnson's Dracula delights in being eternal and powerful -- he embraces his condition with relish. His Dracula is believably aristocratic and beguiling, while still being ruthless.Like any serial involving valiant hunters after evil, this show requires a certain suspension of disbelief. A multi-billionaire businessman as well as a vampire, Dracula could quickly snuff out his pursuers, either supernaturally or, far easier, just by arranging an "accident". But like all serials the foes have to continue so the stories can continue.The series at first focuses more on the children, even attempting to develop the older brother as a teen heartthrob, and tries to be topical by having Dracula listening to hip-hop and ska (and even making a Milli Vanilli joke). But it seems the show's producers quickly realized the appeal of Johnson, and began tailoring the show more to his talents.The scripts start moving away from the precocious younger brother and the teen angst of the older kids, to more mature themes -- later scripts are versions of "Casablanca" and "Pygmalion", and there is actually some very interesting examination of what it would be like to be immortal. A definite plus is the continuing character provided by Geraint Wyn Davies (later to be a vampire again in "Forever Knight", likely partly due to this role). Davies' Klaus has a lively maniacal presence, and a very memorable Frank-Gorshin-as-The-Riddler laugh.The show could easily have devolved into camp, but somehow never quite starts down that slippery slope. Johnson is especially to be credited for delivering his character's lines in such a way as to keep them from sounding tongue-in-cheek -- he comes off rather as being eternally amused by life, and in fact values his opponents as a tool against boredom. The closest the show ever comes to being corny or self-mocking is in the final episode, a "clips show" recapping the entire series. (The production had obviously received word that the show was being canceled, as this show serves as a final episode.) "Dracula: The Series" is a worthy addition to the vampire genre and deserves a look from anyone interested in the tradition. There are a few scenes which make as valid a commentary on the vampire state as other, more "serious" works; the writing is clever and surprisingly complex. It should not be overlooked because of being perceived only as a series for children.

K I have to tell you...this series is just perfect. I am a horror movie buff...I love everything from the serious to the seriously campy. But this show is so classic. I have all 21 episodes on DVD and they are worth every penny. Of course this show is campy but it is supposed to be...they wouldn't have it any other way. Cute series for young adults or children. Good story lines. Each episode leads you to believe...when are they going to kill or be killed? I would definitely recommend for anyone that likes some of the 80's, 90's campy horror classics that Platinum Disc Corp. puts out (Platinum put this series out on DVD).

lgb0077 Though lacking the violence and blood in typical vampire movies, this series still carried interesting storylines in each episode. I saw most episodes and still have a few today. It was not meant to be scary flick just interesting. I never found it corny. If it was out on DVD or Tape, I'd buy it.
