I liked that cute bat, too!
Wonderful film. Those rich colours, that fairytale Transylvania, excellent vampire (despite some funny facial expressions), best Van Helsing and ravishingly beautiful goodhearted Marianne in those lovely dresses of pastel and crimson, making perfect Gothic heroine... Best film Hammer ever made... and that is saying something!

It was pure lunacy... and better pure lunacy than filthy sanity!
