Rainey Dawn This is by far not the worst vampire or Dracula movie on the market but it is nowhere near the best - it's middle ground at best. It's not a film I would recommend to vampire and horror movie fans but it is not one I would say it's just so awful that you should stay clear of - I'll tell you it's so-so or okay.John Carradine had a fairly decent role as George - the butler. He got ample screen time which I really like. The character George is the butler and caretaker of Count Dracula aka Count Townsend and his Countess. George was saved by the Count from hanging and is forever the Count's loyal servant.The Count and his bride has come across a newer, less vile way to drink the blood of their victims - which they prefer. The young women being held hostage are drained via needle so the Count and his bride drink the blood as human drink wine.There is a very violent criminal named Johnny who escapes prison and runs to see his old "pal" George and the Count. He joins them in helping to get fresh blood (victims) for the Count and his bride.The is also a very strange man in the castle that helps the Count named Mango. He is there to help make sacrifices to the evil God Luna.Enter Glen and Liz enter, the story becomes kinda boring and draggy but they will "save the day".Overall an OK watch - not a film that is memorable, impressionable but kinda campy fun in its way.5/10

ASouthernHorrorFan "Blood Of Dracula's Castle" is a 1969 film from Crown International Pictures directed by Al Adamson, and Jean Hewitt. The story takes place at the castle of Count and Countess Townsend, really Count Dracula and his wife. They lure a young women to their home for a continued blood supply. When a young man inherits the castle and appears with his young girlfriend the Count and Countess set out to chase away the couple. The story of "Blood Of Dracula's Castle" is a bit of a train wreck with very little true attention paid to detail as the story falls apart. John Carradine, Paula Raymond, Alexander D'Arcy, Robert Dix, Gene Otis Shayne, Jennifer Bishop and Ray Young all star in the film which gives a nice nostalgia for some of us when watching "Blood Of Dracula's Castle" but not enough to really warrant any fan's of Dracula's to embrace the film completely. Dracula and his wife are practically neutered and remind me of the time the Flintstone's met Count Dracula. The addition of Mango, and a homicidal maniac to the film should have brought with them more blood but the only red that flows in this film mostly languishes in the glasses of Count and Countess Townsend. All this makes for a dull viewing experience. The effects and soundtrack for "Blood Of Dracula's Castle" are also neutered in this one. For a film that claims to be exploitation horror I found no real show of exploitation save the bevvy of beauties chained to the castle wall. The deaths are almost none-existent and for the most part implied so I don't get the exploitative aspect branded to this film. The sound is very 1969 cheap-o that screams love-me-late-night- horror-host so there is no real reason to even bother with addressing that element of "Blood Of Dracula". Embrace this one if you wanna, I justify having it by my unending love of even crappy old movies and John Carradine. New horror fans just no that this is a 1969 Hammer film wanna be so don't expect much of anything here.

Ben Larson It's hard to watch a low budget horror film without seeing John Carradine. The veteran actor appears in over 300 films, many of them in this category. Here he plays the butler in Dracula's castle. Hus is the only decent performance in an otherwise forgettable film.Mango (Ray Young) searches for beautiful girls to replenish the stock in the castle of Count (Alexander D'Arcy) and Countess Townsend (Paula Raymond), the resident vampires. He gets to have them when they are through using their blood. What he does with them can only be imagined from the screams, as it happens off camera.They could have done so much more with this movie and stayed within budget, as low as it was.

jonathan-577 It's funny. Either this movie comes in waves or it was a victim of some serious mood swings on my behalf. For the entire first act it's all blah, blah, blah, and Siue made me turn it off after twenty minutes because nothing was happening. I put it on again when I got home, and suddenly the endless dialogue was entertainingly goofball, the plot started to move a bit, and the general air of regional-theatre rigor mortis took on a certain charm. Then suddenly it looks like things are going to get ugly and sadistic a la Herschel Gordon Lewis, and I got icked out watching it. Then of course, the stupid ending. Highly recommended to Ted V. Mikels fans.
