dracula ad 1972 (1972)

aka Dracula 1972. Dracula 1972 D.C. Dracula Today.
One hundred years after we see Dracula killed, Johnny Alucard the great-grandson of Dracula's servant enlists a gang of young kids including Jessica, the grand-daughter of Abraham van Helsing to unwittingly help resurrect Dracula.
Cushing and Lee are re-united, returning to battle in their eternal struggle between good and evil. Many dis this film, but I like it. After so many gothic vampires there was a real need for new blood, and who better than Stephanie Beecham and Caroline Munro. This gives a kick to the franchise and a great flavour of the groovy Chelsea set of the time.
