Notes de l'éditeur
- Some believe that Bram Stoker got the idea of a vampire from the way Vlad used to dip his bread in the blood of those he killed to show his power. This also may have been the reason a stake is used to kill vampires.
- It was directed by Terence Fisher , and stars Peter Cushing as Doctor Van Helsing, Michael Gough as Arthur and Christopher Lee as Count Dracula Jonathan Harker is a librarian and vampire hunter , having come to Dracula's castle to destroy him, rather than an unwitting solicitor . He also becomes a vampire and is dispatched by his friend Van Helsing. Mina is Arthur Holmwood 's wife, while Lucy is his sister and Jonathan's fiancée. The characters of R. M. Renfield and Quincey Morris are omitted. Doctor John Seward only appears twice, in two brief scenes as the family doctor, and is completely unaware of the supernatural goings-on. Count Dracula has only one Bride (there are three in the novel), and she is destroyed by Jonathan Harker, not Van Helsing. She ages upon her true "death". Only one coffin is transported to the city. Count Dracula does not grow younger, nor can he shapeshift . The Count has only two Magic Powers and those are the ability to hypnotise women with his eyes and travel through fog. Count Dracula is destroyed by sunlight, whereas his powers are merely limited by daylight in the novel
- Brides of Dracula" has a misleading title. The sequel to the Horror of Dracula. However Christopher Lee declined to appear for fear of being typecast.
- Dracula does not speak in the film. According to Christopher Lee: "I didn’t speak in that picture. The reason was very simple. I read the script and saw the dialogue! I said to Hammer, if you think I’m going to say any of these lines, you’re very much mistaken." [
- he film was photographed by Arthur Grant using colored filters belonging to director Freddie Francis, also a cameraman by trade, who used them when photographing The Innocents (1961). Whenever Dracula (or his castle) is in a scene, the frame edges are tinged crimson, amber and yellow. Freddie francis directed
- But takes all the original themes: beautiful heroines, picturesque settings, gothic ambiance, and Lee as the "Count“ T aste the Blood of Dracula was originally written without Dracula appearing at all. With Christopher Lee's increasing reluctance to reprise the role, Hammer intended to replace Lee and Dracula in the franchise with the Lord Courtley character played by Ralph Bates, who would rise as a vampire after his death and seek revenge on Hargood, Paxton, and Secker. Hammer's American distributor refused to release the film without Dracula appearing, prompting Hammer to convince Lee to return, with Dracula replacing the resurrected Courtley Freddie francis directed
- The Count is introduced as an "icily charming host"; [1] he has command over nature; and he is seen scaling the walls of his castle. It also gives Lee more to do and say than any other Hammer Dracula film except its first, 1958's Horror of Dracula . Roy Ward Baker
- The last two films were commissioned by warner bros as an attempt to make it appeal to modern audiences and is based upon the highgate vampire case, where a vampire was said to lurk in highgate cemetery during the early 70’s, there was a big media sensation around it and led to a vampire hunt of Friday 13th
