SYNOPSIS

London's  become a small town for a handful of jaded psychedelic-era hipsters. But Johnny Alucard has a groovy new way for his pals to get their kicks. A certain ritual will be the living end, he insists. And if you still wonder where Johnny's coming from, try  spelling  his  last  name backwards.  Dracula  is  raised  into  the  modern era in this Hammer Studios shocker that's 'quite well  done'  (John  Stanley).  Christopher Lee  dons  the cape for the sixth time and seeks out fresh victims. As archnemesis Van   Helsing,   fellow   horror   legend   Peter   Cushing
clutches a vial of holy water and edges within throwing distance. Their harrowing battle royale is not to be missed.
