Synopsis
Dracula kills another innocent victim and Dr. Seward decides it's time to wipe him off the face of the earth.

Using the blood of a pub singer who has been abducted by his creation, the doctor brings Dracula back to life and uses him for his own ends. The Count and a female vampire continue to terrorise the town, so Dr Seward once again sets out for Castle Dracula. Unfortunately, he is attacked by the Frankenstein monster and left for dead.
