Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChristopher Lee found himself getting increasingly dismayed and disillusioned that Dracula's portrayal was moving increasingly away from the source material, calling this movie "a mixture of Howard Hughes and Dr. No" in a 1994 interview.
- GoofsIt is not possible to melt silver over a small propane camping gas stove as shown since it has a melting point of about 962 °C. The apparatus loses heat too quickly to achieve such temperatures. Molten metal at such temperatures glows with a white-reddish hue as a function of the temperature instead of remaining silver-colored as shown. It is also not possible to use a lead bullet mold as shown because silver is much harder and more resilient than lead and thus cannot be trimmed off with the mold's trimming cutter as shown.
- Quotes
Count Dracula: [to Van Helsing, as D.D. Denham] You are an interfering man, Professor. Do not meddle, or you will have to deal with me.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema print was cut by the BBFC to heavily edit the opening sacrifice scene, 2 staking scenes and the electrocution of a guard (the proposed cuts to the shooting of Torrence were never made). For the video release the same cut print was submitted and cut by a further 1 sec to remove a shot of Jane's exposed breast being pierced with a stake.

Featured review
Healthy slice of 70's cheese
As a Dracula film, this is rather sad and misguided and very typical of the late Hammer fare. But as a piece of classic cheesy 70's British filmmaking, it's a treasure! Loads of tacky scenes and acting, rough looking down-and-out location work and a collection of cheddary extras and character actors.
Peter Cushing looks like he's about to kick the bucket (die) although he miraculously seems to grow younger and less grandpa looking by Star Wars (1977). Who'd have thought he make it to 1994!! There's a healthy dose of Cushing hair flicking in this. Although not to the standard of earlier Frankenstein hair flicks, the old locks are still thrashing around :)
