ìOkay, but if we do get to summon up the big daddy with the horns and the tail, he gets to bring his own liquor, his own bird – and his own pot.î
Gruesomely enjoyable (for all the wrong reasons) attempt to update the fag end of the Hammer series to the Swinging Seventies, set around the Kings Road, Chelsea, years after Chelsea’s sixties heyday. As the years roll by, the film has acquired a kitschy charm, but the only thing likely to wake you up screaming are those Seventies fashion nightmares.
The church in which Dracula is revived is obviously a set, but the groovy “Cavern’ coffee bar where the trendy young things gather is now Italian restaurant La Bersagliera, 372 Kings Road, up towards World’s End.
It's a kind of coming-home, in a way. Further east along the King's Road, toward Sloane Square, you can see the home of Dracula author Bram Stoker, at 18 Leonard's Terrace, at the southern end of Royal Avenue.
The country scenes filmed at Tykes Water Lake at Aldenham Country Park, west of Elstree between Bushey and Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
