Dan Curtis' Classic Monsters
-
£33.00
Widely acclaimed for having modernized television horror in the 1960s and ’70s, producer Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker)
also embraced more traditional approaches. This special edition
presents Curtis’s made-for-TV versions of the three foundational
monsters of filmdom. Adapted by Richard Matheson (Somewhere in Time) and starring Jack Palance (Shane), Dracula
was filmed in Eastern Europe and was the first film to make a
connection between Bram Stoker’s vampire and Vlad the Impaler. Bo
Svenson (Part 2: Walking Tall) portrays the heartbreakingly childlike monster of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde features a ferocious performance by Palance as the scientist who unbridles the deepest, darkest urges of the human animal.
