Doctor Dracula: where publishers mix business with black rites—and nobody comes out unscathed.
Paul Aratow and Al Adamson join forces to serve up a psychotronic cocktail of Satanic rituals, hypnotic power plays, and burlesque sleaze. John Carradine and company slither through an erotic, occult-soaked fever dream—one where black magic and literary ambition go hand in hand, all under the R-rated haze of late-'70s exploitation.
