SYNOPSIS/PLOT:

When a voracious vampire vixen (Ingrid Pitt) discovers that virgins' blood holds
the secret to eternal youth, it's not time at all before she's squeezing her
sweet young chambermaids into a blood-chilling beauty cream. But there's a
wrinkle in her plan when her beloved, Captain Dobi, stumbles on her bloody
secret-and she finally learns that a little mass murder really can suck the
romance out of your love life!

TRIVIA:

* Ingrid Pitt's voice was dubbed. Supposedly, she was so furious at
director Peter Sasdy that she vowed never to speak to him again.

* Countess Dracula was based on Hungarian Countess Erzsebet (our modern day
"Elizabeth") Bathory who lived from 1560 to 1614. Countess Bathory was allegedly
responsible for the deaths of approximately 600 virgin girls, all of which
involved torture and gruesome methods of killing. Her atrocities are mostly
speculation. She is credited for influencing our modern day concept of Dracula
as an entity depending on human blood for youth and vitality.

* The picture that appears behind the opening credits is an 1896 painting by
Hungarian artist Istvan Csok. It shows the real Countess Bathory enjoying the
torture of some young women by her servants. In an inner courtyard of one of her
castles, the naked girls are being drenched with water and allowed to freeze to
death in the snow.

* Ingrid Pitt replaced Diana Rigg who turned the role down.

* Although cuts were requested by the BBFC (and the film remains listed as
cut on their website) the edits were never made following an appeal by Hammer to
chief censor Stephen Murphy.
