SYNOPSIS

Every  night  for  600  years  he  rises  from his coffin-bed to seek the warm blood he needs to keep himself alive! Investigating the  death  of his  friend  Jonathan  Harker -- apparently the victim of a bloodsucking vampire  --  Doctor  Van  Helsing  (Peter  Cushing)  discovers  a  diary incriminating   Count   Dracula   (Christopher   Lee).  But even as Van
Helsing realizes the horrifying truth, Dracula stalks  Harker's  fiancée, Lucy  (Carol  Nash), trapping her tortured soul in the terrifying force of his hypnotic power -- and only Van Helsing may be strong  enough  to save her by exorcising the Horror of Dracula.
