It begins where the 1958 film Horror Of Dracula , also directed by Fisher, left off. It stars Barbara Shelley , Francis Matthews , Suzan Farmer and Charles Tingwell as four travellers who stay as guests at Dracula's castle. Philip Latham plays servant Klove (whose character was resurrected by actor Patrick Troughton in the 1970 Scars Of Dracula ) and Christopher Lee is literally resurrected to play Dracula . Scottish actor and Hammer stalwart Andrew Keir plays vampire-hunter Father Sandor. Thorley Walters also appears as Ludwig, an eccentric, bug-eating lunatic apparently based on the character of Renfield in Bram Stoker 's original novel. The film was photographed by Michael Reed , designed by Bernard Robinson and scored by James Bernard . The film is most striking for its vivid imagery, including the pseudo- Eucharistic ritual that resurrects Dracula, the staking of Barbara Shelley (in a controversial scene which some people believe has sexual overtones) and the Count's demise in the icy waters of his moat, a memorable sequence acted mainly by stuntman Eddie Powell .
