HAMMER FILMS: DRACULA: IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TODAY....

 

There some days, it's best to stay away from the woods. This would be one of them. Some great 'On and Off' camera moments from the climax of 'The Satanic Rites of Dracula'. Some say, it's the weakest of all the despatches of the Count.  But, what it lacks in drama and action, it maybe makes up for in some cunning symblisem. The hawthorn crown, the spikes of hathorn through the palms of the hands and that fence post, driven into Dracula side... Nice touches, that maybe make up for the 'holy connections' missing in Taste the Blood of Dracula...?
