Dennis Waterman was Hammer Productions' choice. Director Roy Ward Baker has said in interviews he thought Waterman was badly miscast.
Neither Warner Brothers nor any of the other American major studios wanted to deal with Sir James Carreras, Founding Chairman of Hammer Film Productions anymore, so the budgets were cut to $200,000, as the decline in Hammer movies had begun with the loss of large-scale American distribution.
During an interview, Christopher Lee expressed his well-known frustration with this film: "I was a pantomime villain. Everything was over the top, especially the giant bat whose electrically motored wings flapped with slow deliberation as if it were doing morning exercises."
This is Michael Ripper's third consecutive appearance in a Hammer "Dracula" film, given that he previously played Max in Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968) and Inspector Cobb in Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970). He is the only actor other than Christopher Lee to appear in all three films. He also played a coachman in The Brides of Dracula (1960), in which Lee did not appear.
This is one of four films released in 1970 in which Christopher Lee played Count Dracula. The others are Count Dracula (1970), One More Time (1970) and Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970).
"The Priest: I'll explain. You must give me time to prepare you for what we both have to do. Simon Carlson: Both? The Priest: Yes, both of us. Without my guidance you'd never survive the ordeal. Without your courage I could not even attempt it. But now there's nothing either of us can do until daybreak."
"Simon Carlson: [finding the picture of Sarah] Where did you get this? He was here, wasn't he? Paul was here. What happened to him? Tell me! Klove: I won't tell you anything! Simon Carlson: [pinning Klove against the wall] You will tell me everything! Tell me! Klove: Alright, he was here. It's true, he was here. But he got away. You must get away too. Now! Take her with you. He'll do terrible things to her if you don't. Terrible things. Don't let him. I'll help you to get away. It may be too late. The broth!"
