Lee appears...............
looking a bit pasty.
His makeup would improve substantially in the next film, and appear more natural.
His wig looks fine, though.
No real nudity here. I'm pretty sure the television edit I originally saw trimmed this scene down.
And stabs her repeatedly with a rubber dagger. THAT was cut on television.
Now he leans down to drink the blood from the wound.
Now we have Paul making a rope from the bed-curtains, and climbing down the side of the castle. Much like Harker in the Stoker novel.
I love that matte painting. Pretty damn cool.
Klove is leering at a framed portrait of Hanley. He kind of reminds me of a former co-worker I had, right down to the beard. If I ever run into him again, I'll tell him he looks like Patrick Troughton in SCARS OF DRACULA.
Subdued 4 button black suit with cravat, floor length scarlet lined, spread collared cloak, and silver pinkie ring.
In the first film, the clothes are all black.
I pictured the Dracula of the novel sporting the clothes Lee wore in the first film.
Traitor refuses. Hard to find good help these days.
He pretty much looked the same most of his career as well.
The local priest (MICHAEL GWYNN) is the only one to offer help. GWYNN previously played the Creature in Hammer's REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1958).
GWYNN has a cool look and I imagine had Lee really refused this film, might have been approached to replace Lee. He looks too much like a nice guy, though to be Dracula.
The Count tortures Klove for his disobedience by branding his back with a long sword taken from the fireplace.
Klove looks a bit turned on by this.
The film's title is now justified.
YOU HAVE DONE WELL.
The priest wusses out as it starts to get dark.
Actually, Waterman sends him on his merry way.
This part is funny, too as Klove cuts the rope nearly causing Waterman to plunge to his death.
He makes it, though.
and there is Drac taking a nap.
The prop bat in this scene actually looks pretty cool here and the death is quite bloody.
Another bloody scene.
Lee confronts the young hero.
This version of that image is quite simple and quick.
When Louis Jourdan did the same scene, it was funny.
When Langella did it, you could see the wires.
When Gary Oldman did it, he looked like a drop of blood oozing along the wall.
When Norman Welsh did this scene, he looked a bit weird (even though he had a cool cape).
This version is no frills.
Dracula about to attack Jenny on the rooftop.
This clip was used in FRIGHT NIGHT (1985)
Bye bye, Klove.
he tosses a metal rod at Dracula.....................
it doesn't phase him a bit..............
GO DRACULA!!! GET HIM!!!!!
GO DRAC!!!!
Pity you can see the stuntman's mask in one shot.
...........and Dracula goes off the cliff in a ball of flames.
In the theatrical version it's a bit drawn out as Dracula suffers the flames.
Well another great viewing of SCARS OF DRACULA.
This one I'm quite partial to. More screen time for Lee, a solid James Bernard score, some Bond beauties, and overall a good cast. Michael Ripper as the inn keeper also has more screen time and a stronger character than in previous films.
Good stuff!
