Wissenswertes
Victor Maddern got a headache from the extensive makeup he had to wear as the deformed hunchback Carl.

Patzer
Kurt Urach's date of death is given as 1881 in the paper, but 1892 on his tombstone.

Zitate
Callistratus: Since you're so interested in my work, there s no reason why you should not assist me. My experiments so far have been confined to male blood groups. I think it's time to extend my activity.

Crazy Credits
Opening credits prologue: Transylvania 1874

The most loathsome scourge ever to afflict this earth was that of the Vampire.

Nourishing itself on warm living blood, the only known method of ending a vampire's reign of terror was to drive a wooden stake through his heart.

Alternative Versionen
There is additional footage of Karl tormenting some chained female victims and also more of his death and some bloody lab shots in a version released on VHS in France in the 80s.

Good Gothic horror, but doesn't contain the punch of Hammer Horror!

Well, fans of Gothic style 50s horror will love this classic movie. For me, I was expecting a little more 'vampire' in the story, like a gorgeous vampiress dressed in a gown with fangs galore to bite the neck of those she seduces - but sadly no.

The movie starts with the Count being staked through the heart and buried, before his servant 'Karl' (who plays a good Igor like character) takes his masters body to a mental asylum to revive him.

After a Doctor is wrongly accused in court of killing a patient through blood transfusing, he is sent to the asylum for his life-long punishment, only to become a servant to the Count, who wants to use his expertise in surgical practise on other inmates, mainly their blood.

This movie has the imagery of Hammer Horror, given by it's writer Jimmy Sangster, but sadly lacks the punch of a good dramatic Vampire story.

As classic Gothic horrors go, it's worth a look.
