AKA Dracula, Spanish Version. Spanish Dracula."Blood is life Mr Renfield."
Renfield (Pablo Álvarez Rubio) arrives at Count Dracula's (Carlos Villarías) castle in the Carpathian Mountains on Walpurgis night. He soon falls under the spell of Dracula and arranges the purchase of a rundown abbey in London and to transport him to it. The abbey is near an asylum, where Renfield is taken as he is considered mad. Dracula wastes no time in getting acquainted with Dr Seward (José Soriano Viosca), who runs the hospital, and that of his daughter(Lupita Tovar). The daughter soon becomes ill, an illness that is recognised by a visiting doctor, one Van Helsing (Eduardo Arozamena).
A Spanish version of Dracula, filmed at the same time as the Lugosi version, using the same script, but with a different director and direction. Considered by some to be a superior version of the story, due to the more confident direction, and less static camerawork, but it suffers from a lesser cast, who do not match that of the English language version.
