SYNOPSIS:
A visiting Monsignor comes to visit the
town beneath Castle Dracula. The Monsignor is disgusted to find that
even after Dracula has been killed, the town still lives in such fear
that the church is empty on Sunday morning. He drags the cowardly priest
up the mountainside to Castle Dracula where they perform a rite of
exorcism and he places a cross over the entrance to the castle. But the
priest falls, hitting his head. The blood drips down and revives Dracula
where he is imprisoned inside a frozen mountain stream. Enraged at what
the Monsignor has done, Dracula follows him to his home town and plans
revenge by turning his niece Maria into a vampire.
