Scars of Dracula (1970) follows a wayward visitor who vanishes in the eerie halls of Count Dracula’s resurrected castle, prompting his brother and the brother’s fiancée to embark on a perilous search. As they confront the merciless Count and his sinister machinations, dread grips the castle and the threat of vampiric vengeance looms ever closer. This gothic horror blends undead menace and Hammer’s atmospheric dread in a grisly expansion of the Dracula legend.
