Count Alucard finds his way from Budapest to the swamps of the Deep South after meeting Katherine Caldwell, of the moneyed Caldwell clan that runs a plantation called Dark Oaks. She's obsessed with occult matters. Who better to guide her through this supernatural world than Count Alucard, whose name no one bothers to spell backwards? No one, that is, except the wily Dr. Brewster, an old family friend. He'll join Professor Lazlo, a specialist in the occult, in fighting this "Alucard" and the woman he's influenced. Or has Katherine influenced him? Meanwhile, Katherine's fiancé, Frank Stanley, will find his courage and his sanity sorely tested when he accidentally shoots Katherine to death, yet finds that she goes on living.

Ooh! This looks fun! I'm glad that Svengoolie is off that Mummy kick for a while. I like a good Mummy movie, but I need a break from those. :) I've seen 'Dracula's Daughter' but this one is new to me. It's funny to hear the Alucard name again. I only knew of the Alucard who was in 'Dracula AD 1972'.
