They drink his blood and the horror begins.

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970) follows three seemingly upstanding Victorian gentlemen bored with bourgeois life who, persuaded by a reckless aristocrat, unwittingly bring the vampire Count Dracula back to life. After they kill the aristocrat during the botched ritual, Dracula rises anew and begins manipulating and tormenting the families of the men as retribution for their deed. This gothic horror blends undead vengeance and creeping dread in a macabre expansion of the Hammer Dracula saga.
