Dracula

Looks like there have been several (Dr Who references). Yawn.

I didn't find it scary. Just boring.

Was there some kind of Dr Who crossover somewhere?

Teetime look out for a paperback ( or on Kindle) called The Historian, a very highbrow vampire story ( compared to most) but very involving and well written.It’s by Elizabeth Kostova.

I love Dracula stories and even did my thesis for my first degree on vampirism BUT this version is a bit bloody for me. I shall watch the rest in the afternoons - to much to go to bed on.

I'm enjoying it very much. A bit far fetched and not that true to the original story but it's a really good watch.

I'm starting to find it boring.

Haven't watched it so can't comment (I am inspired by the comments, though and will see if it's on catch-up).
What does intrigue me is the fact that so many of you have watched the same programme!

I thought it was great entertainment and Dracula was very funny. Yes it can make you jump and it is a bit gory but I am more scared by psychological type dramas myself. I am looking forward to the next episodes. By the way I loved the nun!

Watched it. Loved it. Daft but entertaining.

Pure hokum isn’t it??
Very very loosely based on the book, but entertaining enough.
The Count doesn’t treat his brides very well, boxed up in a dusty part of the castle mostly.A Van Helsing, a vampire baby,
Old zombies, wolves, bats, nuns.....whatever next?

Enjoyed it and watched between my fingers a lot, but I wanted it to finish in one episode. DH is keen to see eps 2 and 3 so I will join him. I had enough blood and gore by the end.

It was those BBC horror programmes that used to terrify me; Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Still get scared thinking about them.

I watched it but made DH watch it with me in case it was too scary! I thought it was really good and the special effects excellent. Didn't like that nun though! Does anyone remember the Hammer Horror films from years ago? I used to get so scared of them when I was young. Think I'm a bit braver now

Agreed, phoenix. The effects - and the suddenness with which things happened - were scary and well done, but I also enjoyed the humour.

Enjoyed it last night. Certainly scary. Plan to record and watch in daylight now, my reason (OK excuse) is I want to keep up with Bancroft .

Yes, some scary bits but also some rather wicked humour!

Will be watching again tonight!

We started watching it and I bailed - too scary for words!

I watched it last night. DH chickened out and went to bed. He needs to see it during the day, as he's prone to nightmares and lucid dreams.
I thought it was brilliant, and can't wait for tonight's episode.
