Wow! You folks are awesome! I've never seen the movie, in any version and can't wait to get it!

Thank you!

Hey there evildemontoo...from Baltimore no less! The land of Don Dohler and John Waters!

You can't go far wrong with "Horror of Dracula." It's a satisfying horror flick, even nearly half a century since it was made!

I've just noticed this thread.Hammer often filmed some more blood & gore for foreign markets especially Japan .The photo in question is from the Japanese version of Dracula (aka Horror Of Dracula ) which also featured a more grisly death scene for the Count .It does not exist anymore and all that remains are some grainy black & white images.
Hammer also filmed a topless Hazel Court for the European version of The Man Who Could Cheat Death .I saw it again recently at a special screening in London .Miss Court was present and appeared to be very proud .And so she should be.

Gee thanks .I'm a cop but my main hobby is Hammer Horror .I've been very lucky over the years and have spent time with many of the stars and directors .

No I don't . Over the years I've managed to make many contacts through book signings , film festivals and the like .It's given me the chance to spend time with my boyhood heroes .Something I could only have dreamed of growing up in the 70's.
My most memorable encounter was with Christopher Lee at a private function .Being able to shake his hand and tell him how much his films have meant to me was simply amazing .I'm off to London in January to take part in Hammers Celebration of 50 years in the horror buisness.Brides Of Dracula & Kiss Of The Vampire are being shown on the big screen plus a new documentary and book .All that and guest stars as well .I can't wait .Detalis below.

I agree, Hazel Court was quite HOT for her day :D

im not sure but perhaps he shoved the stake in but took it out.
then ,because all the other dracula films ho against that, they desided to take tha shot out and put a satke in his heart.
i dunno but that might be the case.
