Sherlock Holmes v Dracula

The world's greatest sleuth pits his wits against the evil forces of the sanguinary count. Stars John Moffatt and Timothy West.

The world's greatest detective pits his wits against the evil forces of the sanguinary count.

From a posthumously published memoir of Dr John Watson:

“I feel it my duty to set the record straight regarding a number of erroneous statements made recently concerning the events I am about to describe. I refer in particular to a spurious monograph by one Bram Stoker, entitled Dracula, which completely ignores the part which Sherlock Holmes played in bringing that affair to its successful conclusion.”
