The Brides of Dracula (1960)

The most evil, blood-lusting Dracula of all!

In many respects, The Brides of Dracula remains the perfect Gothic Hammer horror. Its production design, cinematography, music, costumes, direction and performances are all quite brilliant.

John Rankin, The Shrieking Sixties: British Horror Films 1960-1969 (Midnight Marquee Press, 2010)
