Horror of Dracula was a film that always eluded me until a few years ago. I remember it being played on TV a long time ago in Australia (before VCR's were available) and unfortunately I missed it.
It became one of the films that I most wanted to see - it was never available locally on VHS (as far as I am aware) even though many of the other Hammer Dracula films were.
So I finally got to see it when it got a DVD release. I had built it up a lot in my own mind, but I wasn't disappointed. I still think it is one of Hammer's best, and so different to the Dracula films that came after it.
