Trivia:
The prop department put a lot of effort into making a realistic model bat. It got lost and had to be replaced on short notice. This explains the rather unconvincing look of the model that got actually used in the movie. more

Love is where you find it., 8 April 2002
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

A disciple of the famed blood sucker seeks new life extending elixir in a private school for girls. Very entertaining. Great atmosphere. Outstanding performances from David Peel, Martita Hunt and the always impressionable Peter Cushing. Above average vampire flick.
