A Brief Synopsis: A young baron who has inherited the Dracula curse is kept locked away by his mother to hide the family secret – although she does procure for him an occasional victim. However, when he breaks out of his castle prison, she becomes a victim herself, and the undead lad takes flight to terrorize the local village and rampage through a girls’ school before a specialist is called in.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

• Just how many films are included in Hammer’s Dracula series?
  
• Smelling salts. What are the ingredients?
  
• Greg makes a “The Empire Strikes Back” reference.
  
• We can’t do a film with Peter Cushing without a “Star Wars” reference.
  
• Greg and Karen both gush about Peter Cushing’s acting.
  
• We have what we are now calling “Fashion Moment with Karen”.
  
• Greg makes a reference to the 80’s glam band “Britny Fox”.
