User Reviews

This is the perfect setting for a murder.

It's hard to watch a low budget horror film without seeing John Carradine. The veteran actor appears in over 300 films, many of them in this category. Here he plays the butler in Dracula's castle. Hus is the only decent performance in an otherwise forgettable film.

Mango (Ray Young) searches for beautiful girls to replenish the stock in the castle of Count (Alexander D'Arcy) and Countess Townsend (Paula Raymond), the resident vampires. He gets to have them when they are through using their blood. What he does with them can only be imagined from the screams, as it happens off camera.

They could have done so much more with this movie and stayed within budget, as low as it was.
