Here's a photo that supposedly shows Jonathan Harker in "HORROR OF DRACULA." (Or at least, that's how I've read it in a few magazines.) Looks more or less like Harker, so that seems right. Now we all know the Hammer films were released in different versions (with different levels of graphic gore) depending on the country.

Here's the question, now. Van Helsing stakes the sleeping body of Harker in the film, which presumably would turn him into a dessicated husk like you see in the photo here. But there's no stake in the dummy's chest, as you can see. And although this is a really gruesome and wonderful looking dummy, I don't know for a fact that it ever appeared in the film. In the American version, Harker's demise occurs basically offscreen.

Was this built for HORROR OF DRACULA and never used? Is this something that ended up being a publicity still but was never featured? Is there a version of "HORROR OF DRACULA" out there that features this prop?

Or, am I totally crossing wires and is this from some other Dracula film entirely?
