Blood of Dracula's Castle (1969)

I must admit, I adore most of Al Adamson's "so bad it's good" cinema, but BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE is so bad, it's just plain bad. Shot around 1966-67, the idea of having John Carradine in a Dracula film and not play Dracula is almost as ludicrous as the film itself. Carradine actually plays George, a sarcastic butler with a clichÃƒÂ©d Igor-type henchmen named Mango (Ray Young) who abducts young girls (including Adamson regular Vicki Volante) and chains them up in the cellar of the castle to extract their blood. Dracula's castle is located in a desert in California(!) and Mr. and Mrs. Count Dracula (Alex D'Arcy and Paul Raymond) are a snootier but more boring couple than the Howells, as they drink blood from wine glasses and sleep in luxurious coffins next to the torture chamber (they use the name "Townsend," but are not related to rock and roll royalty). Robert Dix plays a psychotic killer who escapes from prison to visit his vampire friends, as he talks about how the full moon affects his behavior. An attractive couple arrive to inherit the castle, but they are of course terrorized by their hosts. A really boring film that makes you wonder if they were aiming for comedy with the sub-Munsters dialog and stereotypical horror characters. A TV version had scenes of Dix turning into a werewolf, via a dime store rubber monster mask, but this is the theatrical version so don't expect such cheap thrills. A pretty good full frame transfer, with decent colors, and passable detail, despite some dark scenes. The mono audio is fine.
