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] My revenge has spread over centuries and has just begun!
- 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
Dracula sucks
Scared me at the age of eleven. The best thing I can say about this film. It should probably have been renamed 'A Stake Too Far' as by this time the Christopher Lee Dracula franchise had been bled dry.
Watch it by all means. But whilst you're watching ask yourself this: The fundamental plot line has Dracula and his cohorts wanting to wipe out the entire human race by releasing a deadly plague. If everyone's dead, on whose blood are they going to survive?
