The legend of the 7 golden vampires (1974)

English

Professor Lawrence Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) gives a lecture in 1904 at a Chongqing (Chungking) university on Chinese vampire legend. He speaks of an unknown rural village that has been terrorized by vampires for many years. After the lecture, a student (David Chiang) informs him that the legend is true and that he knows the location of the village. He then asks Professor Van Helsing if he would be willing to travel to the village and destroy the vampire menace. Van Helsing agrees and embarks with his son, the student and his seven kung-fu trained siblings on a dangerous journey funded by a wealthy widow (Julie Ege). Van Helsing and his party realize, however, that the Seven Golden Vampires, who are the ones wreaking havoc on the village, are actually acting under the guidance of Count Dracula himself, masquerading as a mad Taoist monk.

The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974)

English

A Secret Service agent (Maurice O'Connell) barely escapes from an English country house, in which satanic rituals are celebrated. Before he dies of his wounds, he reveals to his superiors that four prominent members of society - a government minister, a peer, a general and a famous scientist - are involved in the cult, led by Chin Yang (Barbara Yu Ling). In order to avoid any reprisals by the minister, the secret service call in Scotland Yard's Inspector Murray (Michael Coles) to work on the case independently. Murray (who had appeared in the preceding Dracula film) suggests consulting noted occult expert Professor Lorrimar Van Helsing (Cushing).
The cult kidnaps the Secret Service secretary Jane (Valerie Van Ost), who is later bitten by Dracula (Lee).
Murray, Secret Service agent Torrence (William Franklyn), and Van Helsing's granddaughter Jessica (Joanna Lumley) arrive at the country house, where they discover several vampire women chained up in the cellar, including Jane who is now a vampire herself. Murray kills Jane with a stake and the three escape the grounds.
Meanwhile, Van Helsing pays a visit to his scientist friend Julian Keeley (Freddie Jones), whom he had recognized among the four conspirators, and finds him mentally unstable and involved on bacteriological research aiming at creating a virulent strain of the bubonic plague. Van Helsing is shot unconscious by a guard. As he comes to, Keeley's dead body hangs from the ceiling while the petri dishes containing the bacteria are gone.
Keeley had referred to the 23rd of the month, which Van Helsing reveals to be the "Sabbath of the Undead". Keeley's research notes lead Van Helsing to the reclusive property developer D. D. Denham, who had funded Keeley's research. Van Helsing also suspects a reincarnated Dracula behind the plot, suggests that Dracula wants to exact revenge on humanity and speculates about a secret death wish on the Count's part. Van Helsing visits Denham in his headquarters (built on top of the church yard where Dracula died in the previous film) and finds out his true identity: Count Dracula. He tries to shoot Dracula with a silver bullet but is beaten by the Count's conspirators. Dracula decides that killing Van Helsing would be too simple and has him transferred to the country house.

Meanwhile, Jessica, Murray and Torrence, while observing the country house, are attacked by snipers. Torrence is killed, while Murray and Jessica are captured. Murray awakes in the cellar and escapes the clutches of the female vampires, and later Chin Yang, revealed to be a vampire herself, just as Dracula arrives with Van Helsing.
Dracula announces to Van Helsing and the ministers that Jessica, who is laid out on the satanic altar, will be his consort, uncorrupted by the plague that his "four horsemen" – including Van Helsing – would carry out into the world. The conspirators, who had considered the plague a mere deterrent, not to be used, begin to question their master but Dracula's hypnotic command stops them and causes the minister John Porter (Richard Mathews) to break the vial, releasing the bacteria and immediately infecting the minister, causing him horrible suffering.
Murray runs into a guard in the computer room, but overpowers him after a fight scene. The guard's metal baton smashes a computer panel and the ensuing explosion starts a fire and breaks open the ritual room. The two uninfected conspirators escape, Murray rescues Jessica, while the infected minister - and the plague bacteria - burns in the fire. Dracula attacks Van Helsing, who escapes through a window into the woods. He lures Dracula into a hawthorn bush - a symbol of good as it provided Christ with his Crown of thorns - where he is entangled until Van Helsing drives a stake through his heart.

Los ritos satánicos de Drácula (título original en inglés, The satanic rites of Dracula) es una película de terror británica de 1973, dirigida por Alan Gibson, escrita por Don Houghton y protagonizada por Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Michael Cole, William Franklyn y Freddie Jones. Después de Drácula 73 esta es la séptima y última película de la saga de Drácula. La película se ubica en los años 1970 y tiene cierto aire de filme de espionaje, notandose la influencia de la saga James Bond.
Estrictamente, es la última aportación al ciclo, mostrando ya el agotamiento de la fórmula por parte de Hammer Productions.^{[cita requerida]} Sin embargo, Drácula volvería a aparecer en Kung Fu contra los siete vampiros de oro (1974) ya sin la participación de Christopher Lee. Aunque a principios de los años 1970 Lee ya empezaba a aburrirse del personaje, siguió en la brecha hasta 1976, año en que se despidió del Conde en la producción francesa Dracula père et fils, de Édouard Molinaro.

Twins of Evil (1971)

English

In nineteenth century middle-Europe, orphaned teenage twins Maria and Frieda go to live with their uncle Gustav Weil, who heads the Brotherhood, a vigilante group trying to stamp out vampirism. But their methods are random and misplaced and the only result is a terrorised populace. The real threat lies with Count Karnstein, and although the twins seem outwardly to be identical, Frieda finds herself much more drawn than her sister to the Count's castle dominating the skyline.





Español


Maria y Frieda son dos hermanas gemelas idénticas en apariencia pero con personalidades muy diferentes. Maria es sencilla y humilde, mientras que Frieda es ambiciosa y algo cruel y sensual. Las dos acaban de quedar huérfanas y viajan desde Venecia hasta el pueblo donde vive su tío Gustav, un fanático religioso que en su ciega cruzada contra el mal no duda en sacrificar mujeres inocentes acusándolas de practicar la brujería.
Por otra parte, en el castillo que domina el pueblo, vive el conde Karnstein, consagrado a la magia negra y al culto satánico, que se escapa por su alta alcurnia del alcance de Gustav. El conde conocerá a las dos gemelas en una visita al pueblo. Frieda se sentirá inmediatamente atraída hacia él y lo mismo ocurre a la inversa.
Una noche, el conde lleva su diabólico culto al máximo asesinando a una joven doncella en un ritual de sangre. El resultado de ese ritual es la resurrección temporal de Mircalla Karnstein, una antepasada suya, que le convierte en vampiro. En su nueva condición, sin embargo, puede pasear bajo el sol, por lo que nadie sospecha nada.
Una noche, Frieda decide escaparse de la casa donde las gemelas viven martirizadas por la puritana tiranía de su tío, y a pesar de que Maria intenta convencerla de que no lo haga, marcha al castillo del conde tras amenazar a su hermana con matarla si cuenta algo. Allí, el conde le revela su secreto y le dice que con el mordisco de un vampiro sólo los inocentes mueren, los que tienen su corazón entregado a Satán se convierten en nuevos seres sedientos de sangre. Frieda se resiste tímidamente, pero es mordida por el conde, y se transforma en vampiro.
A partir de ese momento, las víctimas se suceden, y pronto Frieda es descubierta y condenada a la hoguera por su tío. Pero el conde interviene, secuestra a María y la sustituye por Frieda. Las gentes del pueblo se disponen a quemar a la muchacha, sin sospechar que están a punto de matar a la inocente Maria, mientras que Frieda no detiene su búsqueda de sangre.

Français

Dans l'Europe de l'Est du XIX^e siècle : les sœurs Gellhorn, sont orphelines et ont été recueillies par leur oncle, puritain membre d'une secte de fanatiques chasseurs de sorcières. Non loin de là, vit le comte Karnstein, dépravé et adorateur du diable. L'une des sœurs, Maria, est scandalisée par l'aristocrate alors que l'autre, Frieda, éprouve une certaine fascination pour le libertin.

Italiano

Le gemelle orfane Maria (Mary Collinson) e Frieda (Madeleine Collinson) vanno a vivere in un remoto villaggio ai margini della foresta, presso lo zio Gustav Veil (Peter Cushing), inflessibile difensore della fede e capo di un gruppo di persone dedito alla ricerca di streghe, vampiri e altri esseri satanici. Sfortuna vuole che il conte Karnstein (Damien Thomas) sia divenuto un vampiro e abbia deciso di fare sue prede le nipoti del servitore della cristianità. Una cede volentieri al fascino del peccato, poco a suo agio nel regime di stretta osservanza impostole, l’altra conserva la virtù. Anton Hoffer (David Warbeck) cercherà di salvare quest’ultima dalle grinfie del vampiro. Terzo e ultimo film della cosiddetta “trilogia di Karnstein”, vagamente (nel caso degli ultimi due) ispirata a #Vedi#Carmila di Le Fanu. Peter Cushing è ottimo e sfaccettato nel ruolo di un sincero e ottuso bigottone. Impagabile l’espressione di sconcerto, quando deve farsi spiegare da David Warbeck come si eliminano efficacemente i vampiri. Le gemelle Collinson, protagoniste nel 1969 di un’incredibile sequenza erotica in Diario intimo di un garzone di maceleria, oltre che di un memorabile servizio su Playboy, sono qui più sorvegliate, comunque affascinanti, nel ruolo della sorella buona e di quella cattiva vampirizzata. Film diretto con capacità e gusto da Hough, capace di trovare una chiave di realismo gotico adatta alla storia, che unisce il vampirismo alle suggestioni da caccia alle streghe, allora di moda

The Vampire Lovers (1970)

Français

Le film se déroule dans la Styrie au XIX^e siècle et s'ouvre sur l'image d'une belle femme en déshabillé diaphane émergeant de la brume d'un cimetière. Elle rencontre le baron Hartog, un chasseur de vampires qui veut venger la mort de sa sœur. La jeune fille se révèle être un vampire quand sa poitrine est marquée par l'imposition du crucifix. Montrant ses crocs pour attaquer le baron, elle est promptement décapitée.
Le film commence ensuite avec une dame brune et mélancolique laissant sa fille Marcilla sous la garde du général von Spielsdorf et sa famille dans leur demeure styrienne. Marcilla devient rapidement l'amie de la fille du général, Laura. Cette dernière souffre de cauchemars et sa santé se détériore au point qu'elle en meurt. Marcilla disparaît de la maison du général.
Simulant un accident de voiture à cheval, la mère de Marcilla la laisse (à présent sous le nom de Carmilla) à la résidence de M. Morton. Là, Carmilla séduit Emma, la fille de Morton, mais sa fringale prend le dessus sur son affection, et Emma commence à s'étioler. Elle fait des cauchemars où son cœur est percé, et ses seins portent de petites blessures au réveil. La gouvernante d'Emma, Madame Perrodot, tombe aussi sous le charme érotique de Carmilla et devient l'instrument de sa volonté. Le maître d'hôtel et le docteur soupçonnent quelque chose d'étrange, surtout peu après la mort subite de plusieurs jeunes filles. Mais Carmilla les tue tous les deux. Un mystérieux homme en noir la surveille à distance, en souriant.
Maintenant, Carmilla peut s'emparer de l'innocente Emma…



English

In early 19th century Styria, a beautiful blonde (Kirsten Lindholm) in a diaphanous gown materialises from a misty graveyard. Encountering the Baron Hartog (Douglas Wilmer), a vampire hunter out to avenge the death of his sister, the girl is revealed as a vampire when her breast is seared by his crucifix. Baring her fangs to attack the Baron, she is swiftly decapitated.
Many years later, a sultry dark-haired lady leaves her daughter Marcilla (Ingrid Pitt) in the care of General von Spielsdorf (Peter Cushing) and his family at their Styrian mansion. Marcilla quickly befriends the General's niece, Laura (Pippa Steel). Laura suffers nightmares that she is being attacked, and her health deteriorates until she dies. Marcilla vanishes from the General's home.
Faking a carriage break-down, Marcilla's mother leaves her (now using the alias Carmilla) at the residence of a Mr Morton. Here, Carmilla befriends and seduces Morton's daughter Emma (Madeline Smith) but her need to feed overcomes her emotional attachment and Emma too begins to fade. Emma has nightmares of being pierced over the heart, and her breast shows tiny wounds. Emma's governess, Mme. Perrodot (Kate O'Mara) also falls victim to Carmilla's erotic blandishments and becomes her willing tool. Some in the household, the butler and a doctor, suspect what might be happening, especially in the wake of several local girls suddenly dying, but Carmilla kills each one. All the while, a mysterious man in black (clearly also a vampire) watches events from a distance, smiling (his presence is never explained).
After Carmilla kills the butler, having convinced him that Mme. Perrodot is a vampire then persuaded him (with her womanly charms) to remove the garlic protecting Emma, Carmilla goes to Emma's bedroom. She says she must go away, but is taking Emma with her. A desperate and sick Madame begs Carmilla to take her with her. Carmilla kills her, in front of a horrified Emma. Emma is barely rescued by a young man named Carl (Jon Finch) who fashions a makeshift cross from his dagger. Carmilla flees to her nearby ancestral castle, now a ruin.
All this coincides with the arrival of the General, who brings with him a now-aged Baron Hartog. They find Carmilla's grave, where she sleeps. Her eyes open, and interestingly enough she makes no move to defend herself. The General lifts a stake—and back in her bedchamber Emma screams "No!"—then drives it into Carmilla's heart. He then cuts off her head. Carmilla's portrait on the wall decays, showing now a fanged skeleton instead of a beautiful young woman.

Español

Las Amantes Vampiro (en inglés The Vampire Lovers) es la primera película de la Trilogía de los Karnstein basada en el relato Carmilla, la mujer-vampiro creada por el escritor Sheridan Le Fanu.
Esta versión de la Hammer Productions introdujo el erotismo y el lesbianismo a sus historias vampíricas, un filón que seguiría siendo explotado en los siguientes films del género.
Basada en 'Carmilla' de Sheridan le Fanu, incluida en su obra 'In a Glass Darkly'. Adaptada por Harry Fine. 'Carmilla' es un vampiro bastante alejado de la figura de Drácula: pasea a la luz del día (eso sí, por la sombra), come y bebe como cualquier persona, no necesita acudir diariamente a la tumba y posee la capacidad de desintegrarse.
The Vampire Lovers es la película que marca el inicio de la decadencia de la Hammer, causada por varias razones: la necesidad de buscar novedades en las tramas de unas películas que tenían como protagonistas a unos personajes bastante agotados, la reducción drástica de presupuestos en clara relación con el descenso de recaudaciones y el hecho de que otros países europeos (Alemania, Italia, España, a menudo en coproducción) empezaron a producir en masa producciones baratas, pero rentables, del género. Estas películas tenían presupuestos ridículos, pero conseguían buenas recaudaciones porque tenían más sangre y, sobre todo, más sexo que las de la Hammer; así pues la productora inglesa no quiso quedarse atrás.

El film fue conocido en España como Amores de vampiros, en Argentina como Las amantes vampiro y en México como Amor entre vampiros.

The brides of Dracula (1960)

English

Marianne Danielle, a young French schoolteacher from Paris is en route to take up a position in Transylvania, is abandoned in a village by her coach driver. At the local inn, she ignores the warnings of the locals and accepts the offer of Baroness Meinster to spend the night at her castle. At the castle, she sees the Baroness's handsome son, whom she is told is insane and kept confined (his leg is chained). When she sneaks to meet him, he says his mother usurped his rightful lands and pleads for her to help. She agrees, and steals the key to his chain from the Baroness' bedroom. Upon discovery of this, the Baroness is horrified; yet when her son appears, she obeys him and goes into the next room. Later, the servant Greta (who has taken care of the Baron since he was a baby) goes into hysterics. She forces Marianne to look at the Baroness' body, and the puncture marks in her throat. Marianne flees into the night. She is found, exhausted, by Dr. Van Helsing. She doesn't remember all that has happened, nor is she familiar when asked with the words "undead" or "vampirism." He escorts her to the school where she's to be employed.
When Van Helsing reaches the village inn, he finds there is a funeral in progress. A young girl has been found dead in the woods with wounds upon her throat. He contacts Father Stepnik, who turns out to have asked the expert on vampirism to come here. Father Stepnik has suspicions about the castle and the Baroness. That night, Baron Meinster's first victim rises from her grave, aided by Greta, as witnessed by Van Helsing and the priest. Van Helsing goes to the castle and discovers the Baroness has now risen as a vampire, full of self-loathing and guilt. After sunrise the next morning, he "releases" her with a wooden stake.
The Baron, meanwhile, visits Marianne at the school and asks her to marry him. She accepts, much to the good-natured envy of her roommate Gina. Once Gina is alone, however, Baron Meinster appears and consumes Gina's blood. When Van Helsing comes for a visit the next day, he finds the school in a small uproar over Gina's death. Van Helsing gives instructions about the body — to be kept away from the school and with people watching it until he returns. As it happens, Marianne is alone with the coffin at sunset. The locks on the coffin fall off (without unlocking), and Gina rises. She talks soothingly to a terrified Marianne, asking forgiveness for "letting him love me," and asking to kiss her. She also reveals the whereabouts of the Baron, who is hiding at the old mill.
Van Helsing discovers the body of the stablekeeper, Severin, and enters the stable just in time to see Gina escaping. Marianne doesn't want to believe the Baron is a vampire, but she does tell Van Helsing what he needs to know. The vampire hunter goes to the old mill and is confronted by both of Meinster's "Brides" as well as Greta—who, as a human, isn't repelled by the cross. Greta is killed in a fall but the cross falls into the well below the mill and is now out of Van Helsing's reach as the Baron arrives, brandishing a length of chain. In the fight that follows, the Baron bites Van Helsing and leaves him. When Van Helsing wakes, he realizes what has happened. He heats a metal tool in a brazier until it is red-hot, then cauterizes his throat wound and pours holy water on it to purify it; the wounds immediately disappear.

Baron Meinster, meanwhile, goes to Marianne and forces her to come with him to the old mill. He intends to bite and turn her into a vampire in front of Van Helsing. Van Helsing throws holy water into the Baron's face, which sears him like acid. Meinster kicks over the brazier of hot coals, starting a fire. While the Baron flees outside, Van Helsing takes Marianne up into the mill, then out via the huge sails, which he moves to form the shadow a gigantic cross. The shadows falls on Baron Meinster, who is killed by it, and Meinster's vampire brides die in the fire.

The Horror of Dracula (1958)

English

In May 1885, Jonathan Harker arrives at the castle of Count Dracula near Klausenberg, posing as a librarian. He is startled inside the castle by a young woman begging for help, claiming to be a prisoner. Dracula then greets Harker and guides him to his room, where he locks him in. Jonathan starts to write in his diary, and his true intentions are revealed: he has come to kill Dracula.
Freed sometime later, Harker again is confronted by the desperate woman. She begs him for help but then bites his neck. Just as she does, Dracula - fangs bared and lips bloody - arrives and yanks her away. When he awakens in daylight, Harker finds the bite mark. He hides his journal in a Virgin Mary grotto outside the castle and descends into the crypts, where he finds Dracula and the unnamed vampire woman resting in their coffins. Armed with a stake, he impales the woman. But when he turns to kill Dracula, the Count has already awakened and is waiting for him...
Dr. Van Helsing then arrives in Klausenberg, looking for Harker. The frightened townsfolk give him Harker's journal. When he arrives at the castle, it is deserted; a hearse carriage speeds by with a coffin in it. In the crypt, Van Helsing is horrified to discover Harker lying in a coffin as a vampire. Staking Harker, he leaves to deliver the veiled news of Harker's death in person to a wary Arthur Holmwood and his wife Mina, brother and sister-in-law of Harker's fiancée Lucy Holmwood. Lucy is ill, so the news is kept from her. But, when night falls, Lucy opens the doors to her terrace and lays bare her neck — already, it bears the mark of a vampire bite. And soon Dracula arrives and bites her again.
Mina seeks out Van Helsing's aid in treating Lucy's worsening health, but Lucy defeats his anti-vampire prescription and dies. Van Helsing turns over Harker's journal and reveals the truth. Vampire Lucy lures away a small child, but the girl is saved by Van Helsing and Arthur. Arthur refuses to use Lucy as a means to find Dracula, so Van Helsing stakes Lucy in her coffin.
Van Helsing and Arthur travel to the customs house in Ingstadt to track down the destination of Dracula's coffin (which Van Helsing saw carried away when he arrived at Dracula's castle). Meanwhile, Mina is called away from home by a message telling her to meet Arthur at an address in Karlstadt — the same address Arthur and Van Helsing are told the coffin was bound for — and Dracula is indeed waiting for her...
The next morning, Arthur and Van Helsing find Mina in a strange state. They leave for the address they were given, an undertaker's, but find the coffin missing. When they decide to set off again, Arthur tries to give Mina a cross to wear, but it burns her.
During the night, Van Helsing and Arthur guard Mina's windows outside against a return of Dracula, but Dracula nonetheless appears inside the house and bites her. A remark by the maid leads Van Helsing to the coffin's location: the cellar of the Holmwoods' own house. But Dracula is not in the coffin and instead escapes into the night with Mina.
A chase then begins as Dracula rushes to return to his castle near Klausenberg before sunrise. He attempts to bury Mina alive outside the crypts but is caught by Van Helsing and Arthur. Inside the castle, Van Helsing and Dracula struggle. Van Helsing tears open the curtain to let in the sunlight and, forming a cross of candlesticks, he forces Dracula into it. Dracula crumbles into dust as Van Helsing looks on. Mina recovers, the cross-shaped scar fading from her hand as Dracula's ashes blow away, leaving only a ring behind.
