Movie Quote(s):
- Gina: [resurrected as a vampire] Marianne... my darling Marianne... you haven't forgotten your little Gina? Put you arms around me, please, I want to kiss you, Marianne. Please be kind to me. Say that you forgive me for letting *him* love me.
-
Hans, a Villager: Why can't she lie in peace, like all the rest? The Cure, Father Stepnik: Because she is not *like* all the rest!
-
Baroness Meinster: Who is it that is not afraid? Dr. J. Van Helsing: Only God has no fear. Baroness Meinster: Why have you come here? Dr. J. Van Helsing: To find your son. Baroness Meinster: Then you know who I am? Dr. J. Van Helsing: I know who you were.

Narrator: Transylvania, land of dark forests, dread mountains and black, unfathomed lakes. Still the home of magic and devilry as the nineteenth century draws to it's close. Count Dracula, monarch of all vampires, is dead, but his disciples live on, to spread the cult and corrupt the world.
-
Movie Trivia:
- The ending was to have originally had the vampires destroyed by a swarm of bats. This ending proved too expensive to stage and shoot. The concept of this ending was recycled three years later for the climax of Hammer's The Kiss of the Vampire (1963).
-
Contrary to popular belief, Christopher Lee did not refuse to appear in this film, rather he was not asked for fear that the studio would have to pay him more money.
-
The prop department put a lot of effort into making a realistic model bat. It got lost and had to be replaced on short notice. This explains the rather unconvincing look of the model that got actually used in the movie.
