Taste the Blood of Dracula

Taste The Blood of Dracula is kind of a strange Dracula movie, because it wasn't supposed to be a Dracula movie. And, it really shows. Ralph Bates plays disgraced Lord Courtly, who happens to be into black magic. During a black mass he drinks Dracula's blood, and turns into Dracula(?). From there Dracuala is seeking revenge on the people that took part in the black mass.

What happened was the studio execs decided to throw Dracula in at the last moment. So, what you get is a vampire that just walks around and counts his victims. Lee doesn't really speak in this one.
