More than a series, this program began as a daily soap opera that told the story of the Collins family, a kind of Dallas or Gothic Dynasty with a very low budget. The program had a low audience and the writers decided to incorporate a character that would diametrically change the course of history. This character was a vampire man (Dracula style) who was an ancestor of the Collins family and who by a curse had been turned into a vampire and is accidentally awakened from his long slumber. This ingenious twist made the audience grow and the story became a horror series, perhaps because it was the only one of its kind it has become a cult TV show despite its low budget. As the story progressed, the writers began to incorporate increasingly unlikely elements, such as time travel, nightmare dreams, and even the appearance of a werewolf. Fortunately almost all of its episodes have been rescued despite the fact that the series was made on videotape and not on film.
