Footnotes

With this film, Hammer upped the stakes (!) in both the sex/nudity and the violence departments, the latter particularly in the near-sadistic scene where Dracula brands Klove.

Jenny Hanley is the daughter of actor Jimmy Hanley, who appeared in Hammer’s “Room to Let” (1949) and “The Lost Continent” (1968).
