Taste the Blood of Dracula 1-sheet movie poster Hammer horror Christopher Lee

Description

Here is an original US theatrical 1-sheet movie poster for the Warner Brothers release of Hammer's fifth entry in the Christopher Lee Dracula series Taste the Blood of Dracula (1971). Anthony Hinds has to find some way to weave Dracula into a story of Victorian ruling class debauchery, and while Christopher Lee is saddled with some particularly stilted dialogue, his presence and the atmospherics are still more than enough to make this a memorable and gory Hammer gothic. Warner Brothers trimmed several scenes of nudity and gore so that kiddies could go enjoy 90 minutes of bloodletting, Satanic sacrifice and the sultry Linda Hayden being transformed from a devout Catholic innocent to Dracula's seductive slave!
High impact movie poster shows that if they were a bit prudish with their edits Warners knew what the fans were coming to see!
