The best telly adaptation was the Beeb's two parter starring Louis Jordan as the Count. That wasn't yesterday, though.

Can I just point out;

1) Vlad Dracul (Vlad the Dragon) was Vlad Tepes II, he was not Vlad the Impaler, who was his son Vlad Tepes III.

2) Vampire Bats are indigenous to South America, not Europe.

3) Transylvania is for the most part very beautiful, and the people are friendly

4) Yes you can find plastic masks of Bela Lugosi as CD on sale outside Castle Bran, not popular with the locals.

5) The name should be pronounced "DraCOOLA", not "DracULAR".

Thank You  :)
