Paul
Naschy plays the infamous Count Dracula in this unconventional adaptation
of the vampire legend. The story is set in 1870 and it tells the story
of a group of travelers who take refuge in the Count's castle after
their carriage meets an accident. Dracula is immediately infatuated
with one of the young woman (played by Haydee Politoff). As the legend
goes, if the vampire can acquire true love [without manipulation] then
he will master the secret of the undead. Dracula hopes to revive his
dead daughter through such a relationship with Karen. She is not so
anxious to grant his desire. Meanwhile, the other young women in her
group are quick to throw themselves at the Count and soon become infected
with the bloodlust virus.
This
is probably Naschy's most famous film; certainly it is one of his most
successful. However, few fans have had the opportunity to see it fully
uncut. This movie - like many others during Naschy's most prolific period
(ie,DR
JEKYLL AND THE WOLFMAN, THE
WOLFMAN NEVER SLEEPS, NIGHT
OF THE HOWLING BEAST, et al) - was initially shot in
two different versions: 'Mainstream' and 'Adult.' Traditionally, the
adult prints are much more difficult to find. In the early 2000s, after
his highly successful comeback films ROJO
SANGRE and MUCHA
SANGRE, Paul Naschy went to Hollywood for two movies Fred Olen
Ray's TOMB
OF THE WEREWOLF and COUNTESS
DRACULA'S ORGY OF BLOOD (both 2004). He then flew to Brazil
for Ivan Cardoso's tailor-made WEREWOLF
IN THE AMAZON. That would be his final motion picture. Paul
Naschy died of pancreatic cancer at age 75 in 2009.
