Overview
The police and British security forces call in Professor Van Helsing to help them investigate Satanic ritual which has been occurring in a large country house, and which has been attended by a government minister, an eminent scientist and secret service chief. The owner of the house is a mysterious property tycoon who is found to be behind a sinister plot involving a deadly plague. It is in fact Dracula who, sick of his interminable existence, has decided that he must end it all in the only possible way- by destroying every last potential victim.

Viewing Notes
A Hammer horror I haven’t seen and one starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Wonder if this one has been purposely harder to find because of the content, specifically the nudity.
Def not one of the better C.Lee entries of his Dracula run but always great to see him and Cushing exchange dialogue. I feel there was more they could have done with the satanic cult aspect given the crime investigation component.
