Dracula: The Series
Dracula: The Series is a short-lived syndicated children's horror television series developed by Glenn Davis and William Laurin, about Count Dracula (aka Alexander Lucard; A. Lucard, if you will) and his struggles with Gustav Helsing, Gustav's young nephews Max and Chris Townsend, and schoolgirl Sophie Metternich, with whom Chris develops romantic feelings. The series formula is relatively straightforward, with the four heroes learning of some nefarious plot by Dracula and setting out to foil it, with some success. In keeping with the novel, but not most media lore, vampires can travel in sunlight but lack their abilities. Anyone bitten just once by a vampire transform into a zombie-like servant; this process is preventable by applying holy water to the bite.

Episodes
1. Children of the Night
American siblings Max and Chris Townsend are left behind in Europe with their eccentric uncle Gustav while their mother Eileen travels on business. Max, an enthusiast of the supernatural, is positive that his uncle is a vampire and seeks out multimillionaire Alexander Lucard for help. Little does he know that the businessman is hiding a secret of his own...
2. Double Cross
Gustav's old friends Peter and Anna Dyson come for a short visit while Max takes the Cross of the Magyars—an artifact that prevents vampires from entering—from the house to be blessed. When Lucard learns the cross has been removed, it is a race to see whether it can be replaced before Lucard comes calling; but how did he find out that it was gone?
3. The Vampire Solution
Gustav and former student Arthur Bauer locate a rare herb and develop a formula in hopes of reversing the effects of a vampire's bite. To test it, Gustav allows himself be captured and bitten by Lucard, unaware that the formula accidentally switched with Max's protein drink.
