Directed by Jess Franco, who is known for his lesbian vampire, cannibal films and nunsploitation films. He tried to do a faithful adaptation of Dracula with this movie, but he didn't quite succeed. The effects, direction and production design really hurt this movie.

Christopher Lee was awesome as Dracula. He's one of the horror actors who always brings dignity to any part he plays. The DVD of this features Lee reading an abridged version of Dracula while posters and images from the movie play. It was a nice touch for the DVD and he does a great job reading it.

Soledad Miranda played Lucy, and while she was sexy, this movie was no "Vampyros Lesbos".

Anyone care to guess who is buried in here?

If they're help him why are they carrying torches during the day and so close to Dracula's coffin?

Oh no! someone took one of our torches and set Dracula on fire, who'd have thought?
