Dan Curtis' Classic Monsters (Blu-ray w/ Slip)

Widely acclaimed for having modernized television horror in the 1960s and \u201970s, producer Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker) also embraced more traditional approaches. This special edition presents Curtis\u2019s 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\u2019s vampire and Vlad the Impaler. Bo Svenson (Part 2: Walking Tall) portrays the heartbreakingly childlike monster of Mary Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein. Robert Louis Stevenson\u2019s 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.\n\nREGION A\n\nProduct Extras :\n--Introductions to All Films by Jeff Thompson, Author of The Television Horrors of Dan Curtis\n--Dracula Audio Commentary by Mark Dawidh
