This is an excellent Hammer film from 1960. Unfortunately they got the name wrong. Dracula isn't in it, and nobody gets married. The correct title would be "Baron Meinster's Girlfriends". But somehow that doesn't sound quite as menacing, does it?
A young schoolteacher is travelling to take up a new job in Badstein, Transylvania. On the way she encounters an old baroness who is keeping her son locked up because she claims he is mad. She releases him, and we soon find out that he's a vampire. Luckily Dr. Van Helsing is in the town and takes up the fight against him.
The plot has as many holes as Swiss cheese, but just turn the lights down, suspend your disbelief and watch this classic horror film. Oh how I long for the days when horror films will once more rely on suspense instead of gore.
