Eerie and haunting tale of a lonely woman.
31 October 2001
Countess Zaleska(Gloria Holden)travels to London in search of two things. She wants to be convinced that she is actually the daughter of Count Dracula and wants aid in curing a mysterious illness. She discovers her urges for human blood becomes stronger and especially if the sustaining elixir is from a female. The lonely Countess does romance a man that she tries to manipulate with hypnosis. A distinguished psychiatrist(Otto Kruger)seems to do little to help the Countess with her torments.

Real creepy atmosphere and tight dialogue mixed with haunting score makes for an interesting horror flick. Other cast members are: Edward Van Sloan, Marguerite Churchill, Irving Pichel and Hedda Hopper.
