Taste the Blood of Dracula
1970 · Movie · 95 min. · United Kingdom
Three Victorian men who lead upstanding and moralistic lives, sneak out to a brothel on the pretext of conducting charity work. Their pleasure is interrupted by the libertine Lord Courtley who offers to show them greater pleasures. He takes them to an antique shop where he gets them to purchase Dracula’s cape, signet ring and a vial of his powdered blood. In an abandoned church he conducts a ceremony but when he asks them to drink the blood, they are disgusted. Drinking it himself, he collapses. They kick and beat him to death and then flee the scene. But Courtley’s spilt blood revives Dracula who swears vengeance on them for killing his disciple. Dracula then seduces each of their children, making them vampires and turning them against their fathers.
