Trivia
Despite the English title being "Lake of Dracula", the vampire in the film is not meant to be Dracula although the film does make allusions to the character.

Alternate versions
In the Japanese cut, the vampires are shown disintegrating at the end of the picture. The American version, as with Nosutoradamusu no Daiyogen (1974), is loaded with fadeouts for television.

8/10

Another enjoyable vampire film from Toho.

With the success of Yamamoto's first film, it was no surprise that Toho green-lit a sequel. And yet Lake of Dracula is not a sequel to The Vampire doll but rather a whole new story, albeit told in a similar fashion.

A schoolteacher named Akiko has been haunted by a childhood dream. Her investigation leads her to her sister Sanae and a mysterious vampire linage. When compared to the previous film, Lake of Dracula lacks some of the suspense and atmosphere of the first film. The story is also less cohesive though it does make up for it by having a nice relationship between the two sisters that gives the film some emotional backing. There's a lot to enjoy here for those who liked the first film.
