Not Bram Stoker, but I remember a good series called "Ultraviolet" back in the mid/late 90s about vampire hunters. It was one of the first TV series (and probably film too) to do a scientific approach to vampire-hunting. So carbon bullets, garlic CS gas grenades, TV sights on guns to check who's a vampire (you can see them with your eyes but they don't show up on cameras), and a "cold-storage" place to stash the mortal remains of vampires because there's no known way of killing them permanently. Internally consistent, and fairly well acted too.

And since it did a decent job of the whole thing, predictably it went on late on Channel 4, never got any publicity, never got a second series and never got repeated. :-(
