original
Mexican/Spanish title LAS MUJERES DE DRACULA [The Women of Dracula] Also known as: EL IMPERIA DE DRACULA [The Empire of Dracula]
director:
Federico Curiel written
by Ramon Obon Jr
starring: Eric Del Castillo · Lucha Villa · Cesar Del Campo
· Ethel Carrillo · Robin Joyce · Gigi Monet
The credits claim this movie is based on the novel by Abraham [Bram]
Stoker, with screenplay by popular Mexican writer Ramon Obon (LA
LOBA). But the plot is basically a remake of the Hammer film Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966), with
a few differences. The travelers trapped in Dracula's castle are not two
married couples, but rather a man and 3 women [providing more feminine
necks for the vampire count, who - for some reason - is called "Baron
Draculstein" here].
The story is quite simple. After a fight to the 'death,' Dracula is revived
to live again; he soon terrorizes and captures a group of people visiting
the mansion. His resurrection scene is kinkier than other vampire flicks
from that time. A busty woman is suspended above the vampire's open coffin.
Assistant Igor stabs her between those impressive tits, allowing blood
to cascade down onto the Baron's corpse, thus bringing him back to life.
Director Federico Curiel was a studio workhorse, making almost a hundred
movies between his first NEUTRON
in 1960 and his last, Bohemios De Aficion [Bohemian Hobby]
in 1984. He is best known for LAS
VAMPIRAS (starring John Carradine and Mil Mascaras), numerous
Blue Demon films [including HELLISH
SPIDERS] and SANTO
IN THE VENGEANCE OF THE FEMALE VAMPIRES. Mr
Curiel would die from a stroke in June 1985 at age 68.
