Sir Karell has been murdered, and the tiny pinpoint wounds on his neck suggest that a vampire did it. Baron Otto and Dr. Doskil are convinced of it, while the police inspector from Prague refuses to believe. Prof. Zelin, who specializes in the occult, must convince him that a dead count and his wife walk among the living and threaten both Karell's daughter and her fiance, along with everyone else in the frightened village. At least that's how it all seems ...

Movie Quote(s):
- Dr. J. Doskil: [nervously] I admit I was a bit impatient... I mean hungry for one of your wonderful meals. Innkeeper: Yes, the vampires are hungry too for their supper!
-
Irena Borotyn: I felt her deadly cold breath on my throat. I must have fainted. I knew no more.
-
Prof. Zelin: We must all die. There's nothing terrible about death, but to live on after death, a soul earth-bound, a vampire. You don't wish any such fate for your beloved.

Movie Trivia:
- Large South American bats were imported for the picture.
-
Preview reviews list a running time of 80 minutes, indicating that considerable footage was cut prior to the film's release. This would explain why many credited actors are not seen in the final print.
-
The film was banned in Poland, and censors in Hungary excised the screams, shots of bats and other gruesome scenes.
-
Throughout the film, Count Mora (Bela Lugosi) has an unexplained bullet wound on his temple. In the original script, Count Mora was supposed to have had an incestuous relationship with his daughter Luna, and to have committed suicide. After filming began, however, MGM deleted references to the crime (and any remaining references may have been deleted when 20 minutes of footage was removed after the film's preview). Because director Tod Browning's previous film, Freaks (1932), had been a box office disaster, Browning was unable to object to any changes made by the studio.
