Taste the Blood of Dracula Ultimate Guide – the magazine guide you might have bought at the cinema in 1970, lovingly written and compiled to the highest standard to capture the blood-curdling atmosphere of the movie!<\/span><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something strange going on at the deconsecrated church in the woods – looks like Lord Courtley wants you to Taste the Blood of Dracula!<\/em> The 1970 shocker brought Christopher Lee\u2019s Dracula to Victorian England in a much-loved movie, and we celebrate this chapter in Hammer Horror with a dedicated Ultimate Guide.<\/p>\n

\"Taste<\/p>\n

Printed in glorious full colour, each page of this luxury Taste the Blood of Dracula<\/em> magazine guide is packed with information. Vibrant rare stills from the movie capture the powerful mood of cosmopolitan London as three gentlemen on the hunt for thrills get much more than they bargained for\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Taste<\/p>\n

Accompanying the vivid, meticulously restored imagery, you\u2019ll discover articles telling the story of how the movie came into being, from its troubled beginnings to the harsh treatment meted out by the censor. Biographies introduce you to the many talented cast and crew – star turns from Christopher Lee, Linda Hayden and Ralph Bates are just the beginning, with director Peter Sasdy and producer Aida Young among many others working hard off-camera to craft something very special indeed. For any fan of Taste the Blood of Dracula<\/em>, this magazine guide is the perfect companion to the movie.<\/p>\n

\"Taste<\/p>\n

Every article features behind the scenes facts and trivia, as well as artwork to capture the flavour of decadence, squalor and sheer terror that makes this such a memorable motion picture – this mood of drama and inspires every page of our Taste the Blood of Dracula<\/em> magazine guide. Our use of full colour print processes means that even black and white stills have a richness, depth and variety of tones that cheaper newspaper-style printing simply can’t provide.<\/p>\n

\"Taste<\/p>\n

Produced to A4 size (210mm x 297mm), the Taste the Blood of Dracula<\/em> Ultimate Guide is printed on finest quality silk paper stock and boasts a glossy cover that shimmers with the promise of forbidden knowledge. There’s really no better reading material to accompany a glass of something red, so don’t miss this chance to rediscover a dark treasure from the vaults of Hammer Horror.<\/p>\n
