I can't say much else about the other three films, consider them bonus material. This set is worth it for Dracula: The Dark prince. Dracula: The Dark Prince was released by Artisan Home Entertainment (a company that no longer exists) and much like my favorite mini series 10th Kingdom it fell out of print and it's DVD is now very expensive by itself. This DVD is pretty much what is on the original DVD (including the same start menu) but with new trailers at the beginning. For Dracula The Dark prince this DVD set is worth it for ten dollars.Though there are some relatively small historical inaccuracies I found Rudolf Martin's portrayal of Dracula to be incredibly good. It is no wonder he reprised the role for TV's Buffy verses Dracula (Season 5, episode 1 of Buffy The Vampire Slayer).This is a very good movie that looks at the good and bad of the historical Dracula and at the end of the film even ties in some of the vampire story so that the film works as a loose prequel to Bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gray Oldman. I strongly recommend this film for any fan of Dracula or of the history of the middle ages. The film is very well done, very moody, very atmospheric and surprisingly educational.This has fast become one of my favorite Dracula movies in that it teaches a fairly true version of the events of the historical Dracula's life and also adds the slight sprinkling of the vampire mythos by implying he became the vampire after death. Rudolf Martin is a seriously under-rated actor who should get a lot more attention for his Dracula portrayal.
