A really good opener with one of the best most evil Dracula's ever-Charles MacCually had NIGHTMARE raving about it-and some pretty good scenes-especially involving Ketty Lester. Her second/third scenes scared the BeJesus out of me the first time I saw this.
Despite the fact the film descends into DARK SHADOWS territory with the plot, still worth seeing. Also a few songs by The Hues Corporation who had a number #1 single a few years down the road! ***1/2

You know, I never actually checked that one out. Maybe it's time.
