Frankenstein: The True Story, with James Mason, David McCallum & Michael Sarrizan.

Not films I know but the Masters of Horror stuff was dope especially Cigarette Burns.

I really dug It when it was screened on TV as a mini series. It was a lot more effective in that format I thought. The ending is totally average however.

But for my favorite I'd have to go with my man Kolchak and The Night Stalker pilot movie.

Probably "it" would rate pretty highly for me.
Also I saw one (only once) called "House of Frankenstein" sometime in the 90's that I really liked...have never seen or heard of it since...

I had to take a closer look at this because it didn't sound familiar. Feels like something I should've seen, but I haven't, unless I saw it as a kid. Either way I am gonna have to track this down. The cast list is crammed with names. Worth it just for Mason & McCallum, but with names like Gielgud and even Tom Baker in there I have to check this out. Sounds quality.

As to the question at hand, I'd go with Salems Lot.

It was actually a mini-series originally. I can't remember now if it was in 2 or 3 parts, but it's very well done and attempts to tell the story as it was written, from beginning to end.

2 parts - and you're right, amazing adaptation. I stil have it some where on VHS from the telly..There was also a pretty faithful Dracula 2-part BBC miniseries made in the 70's . Though it suffered from a lowish budget (it was shot on video and film), I do remember it being enjoyable..

Some TV not mentioned I liked:

Trilogy of Terror

Whose afraid of the dark

Duel

Bad Ronald

The Woman in Black

The various MR James Christmas ghost stories.

Duel is great. Have to agree with you there.
