What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1960: an older pace and style.

A young teacher on her way to a position in Transylvania helps a young man escape the shackles his mother has put on him. In so doing she innocently unleashes the horrors of the undead once again on the populace, including those at her school for ladies. Luckily for some, Dr. Van Helsing is already on his way.
