The 1973 rendition of ''Franchise/{{Dracula}}'' is a 1973 made for TV movie helmed under the direction of Dan Curtis of ''Series/DarkShadows'' fame (as such it's sometimes known as ''Dan Curtis Dracula'' to differate from others).
While the core of the story is still there (Dracula heading to London for a new feeding ground), there are some significant changes to the main story regarding character placements.

* AdaptedOut: No Renfield, Quincy, or Seward in this version.
* DeathByAdaptation: Johnathan Harker in this version. He's initially saved from the brides by Dracula as in the original story. But when he escapes from his room and snoops around the crypt to find Dracula's coffin, he's found and knocked out by the gypsies and thrown to where the brides are who quickly feed on him. When Van Helsing and Arthur later track down Dracula to his castle, they find a vampire Harker within that same area who attacks them. Arthur kills him for good by knocking him into a spike pit.
* BigNo: Harker when he finds himself in the crypt where the brides are and they quickly close in on him.
* BloodFromTheMouth: The uncensored version had the vampires mouths filling with blood after their staked.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: The DVD release was the more censored version of the movie. Though oddly some streaming version of the movie play the uncensored one.
* HollywoodDarkness: It's very obvious in some scenes they filmed them during the day and just put a filter to make it look like night.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
** Harker is killed by being knocked into a spike pit.
** Dracula meets his end which Van Helsing impales him against a table, then letting the sun do the rest of the work.
* ReincarnationRomance: Slightly, Dracula targets Lucy since she looks like his lost love, Maria, from the past.
* {{Revenge}}: After Lucy is staked, Dracula goes after Mina in revenge for losing his love a second a second time and wanting to make the hunters pay.
