Caught the beginning of COUNTESS DRACULA (1971) on Flix yesterday. Its a Hammer film that reminded me of NIGHTMARE CASTLE, but I couldn't watch the end because I had to go out. Anyone know the ending?
Anyone know the ending?
The butler did it
I think she dies in the end...
Are you sure John? :)
is it good, I was thinking of renting it, but some of the hammer stuff isn't that great. I mean I like alot of it, just some of it is sucky
No, she doesn't die in the end, but, I won't go further then that, for anyone who hasn't seen it and wants to see it, as I have. If one is fond of Hammer horror, as I am, I would suggest seeing it. Nigel Green turns in another one of his good performances. And it has that lush cinematography and those lush sets, that one associates with Hammer.
Enjoy!
>No, she doesn't die in the end
Oh well, it was just a guess since I've never seen it (that I recall). The vampire usually dies in the end.

She's not even a vampire!
In fact, Countess Elizabeth Bathory was a real woman who lived in the sixteenth century and tortured and killed hundreds of young girls. The stuff about her bathing in blood to become young is doubtful in a historical context, and if she did do this, it certainly didn't actually work, as happens in this movie. If you're interested, there is a history of her at:

Once again I was guessing based on the title.

Thanks, I've read a little about her.
