A fairly pedestrian version of the classic horror story. For me it was distracting to have the 20-something Mina Harker character played by an older actress with a distinctively older-sounding, gravelly smoker's voice. The voice for the 20-something Lucy Westenra was a better match for the age; too bad she didn't play the lead female role of Mina. Would have made for better listening.

Interesting that this version of Dracula is so abridged that the character of Dracula himself is purely secondary. Even his defeat is only mentioned in passing by E.G. Marshall at the end! Vampire story.
