    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Zoltan is a common name for a dog in Europe, just as Rover and Fido are common names for a dog in the U.S.
    • Goofs
      Inspector Vaclav Branco refers to Michael Drake as the last surviving mortal member of the Dracula family, but meets Michael's wife named Marla and two children named Linda and Steve. It is possible that Branco is referring to Michael being the Dracula family's last direct adult descendant, since Veidt Smit and Zoltan appear to have little to no interest in having either a woman or a child as their master.

      Michael Drake: The dog's dead... it's over.

    • Alternate versions
      When originally released theatrically on May 8, 1977 in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'X' rating. All cuts were waived in 1987 when the film was granted a '18' certificate for home video.

    Don't be cruel (to a hound that's true)!
    I actually love this film. I saw it in the late 70s as a kid and it scared the heck out of me. Nowadays it isn't scary. However there are some nice effective moments where Zoltan watches the sleeping humans. But come on guys... for sheer inventiveness this film deserves a better rating! Features the great Jose Ferrer in his silliest role, vampire dogs, a great pre-Salem's Lot Reggie Nalder as the baddie, and a preposterous plot about Dracula's descendants. But... the set pieces are really very good. Some unforgettable moments of suspense, great music, and who can forget those glowing dog eyes? Not quite a cult classic, but certainly worth watching. Unintentionally funny? Yes. But this is film with its heart in the right place... held there firmly by a wooden stake!
