The Scars of Dracula

After the villagers discover the blood-drained body of a young girl, they decide to burn down Dracula’s castle for good. Roy Ward Baker moved away from the grandiloquent style of Maestro Terence Fisher with a Dracula that reflects 1970s norms, including touches of humour. The impact of the film’s violence is all the more enhanced by the eroticism of the fangs as they penetrate the flesh of the screaming victims
