Occultist Kay Caldwell (Louise Allbritton) brings Count Dracula (Lon Chaney Jr.)—not his son no matter what the film’s title might be—using the name Alucard, to her Louisiana plantation. This vexes her conventional sister (Evelyn Ankers), her unstable boyfriend Frank (Robert Paige), and the pushy Dr. Brewster (Frank Craven). Her plan is to marry Dracula, gain
Dr. Paul Talbot (Phillip Terry), an obnoxious, egomaniacal doctor wants nothing more than the wealth that a de-aging technique would earn him. Besides, he can’t stand old women, or even slightly older women. His wife, June (Coleen Gray), is a self-hating alcoholic (later narcissist). Malla (Estelle Hemsley — later Kim Hamilton) shows up to make
Student researchers Elvira (Gaby Fuchs) and Genevieve (Barbara Capell) travel to the likely location of the tomb of the evil Countess Wandessa (Patty Shepard), who folktales peg as a vampire. When their car breaks down, they are taken in by Waldemar Daninsky (Paul Naschy), who is the only person around for twenty miles. He too
In the 1600s, witch-vampire Countess Elizabeth Bathory (Julia Saly) is locked away while her enslaved werewolf servant Waldemar Daninsky (Paul Naschy) is executed with a silver cross-dagger. In modern times, gaverobbers pull out the cross, resurrecting Daninsky, who takes up residence in an abandoned castle. Meanwhile, three researchers, Erika (Silvia Aguilar), Mircaya (Beatriz Elorrieta), and
In a Middle Eastern town, perhaps named Bad City or perhaps not, Arash (Arash Marandi) lives with his junkie father (Marshall Manesh) and works as a handyman, and perhaps middleman drug dealer. The main dealer and pimp (Dominic Rains) is coming down hard on him for his father’s debts, and takes the one thing that
It’s the same story as Dracula, with Conde Drácula (Carlos Villarías) travelling to London with Renfield (Pablo Álvarez Rubio) where he encounters Eva Seward (Lupita Tovar) and Lucía (Carmen Guerrero), and faces off against Doctor Seward (José Soriano Viosca), Juan Harker (Barry Norton), and Dr. Van Helsing (Eduardo Arozamena). In 1931 there was a major
A rash of murders in and around the African village of Bakunda have the natives crying “vampire” and the white folks worried about how this is causing problems on the plantation. Plantation manager Roy Hendrick (Charles Gordon) talks it over with Father Thomas Vance (Emmett Vogan) and his girlfriend Julie Vance (Peggy Stewart), and decides
Powerful government officials are meeting in secret, holding black masses, and planning some unknown threat against king and country. The head of the security service knows this is too politically hot, so calls in Inspector Murray (Michael Coles), who had faced dark forces in Dracula A.D. 1972. He in turn, calls in Professor Van Helsing
Small-town cowboy-wannabe Caleb Colton (Adrian Pasdar) picks up pixie-girl Mae (Jenny Wright) sometime late in the evening (it’s hard to say when as time doesn’t work in this film). That’s a problem as she’s a vampire (the “V” word is never used) who converts him. He’s now stuck with her vampire family: angry man in
In the non-groovy past, a de-Jewified Larry Van Helsing (really? Larry? Not Abraham) and Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) both die—a scene that breaks with past films, but Hammer was never consistent. An unknown person wandering by grabs a vial of the Count’s blood, which pops up again in 1972. In that swinging time, some hippies,
Three respectable gentlemen secretly form their own little hellfire club. Bored with prostitutes and drink, they ask Lord Courtley, a notorious libertine and dabbler in the black arts, to guide them to the next step. That step: To resurrect Dracula from his powdered blood and a few trinkets. When the attempt goes awry, the three
