Dan Curtis's made for television Dracula (Bram Stoker's Dracula), starring Jack Palance, and written by Richard Matheson, was tapped into by Francis Ford Coppola for his Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). According to Wikipedia, Gene Colon got the idea for his Dracula's appearance (Tomb of Dracula) from seeing Palance in his first hookup with Dan Curtis, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It's a shame Palance did not continue to play Dracula in other movies.
