Christopher Lee as Count Dracula and Caroline Munro as Laura Bellows are captured in this striking theatrical publicity photograph from DRACULA A.D. 1972. The blood-covered throat and predatory intensity of Lee’s Dracula create one of the film’s most dramatic publicity images, bringing together two of Hammer Horror’s most recognizable stars.

CHRISTOPHER LEE CAROLINE MUNRO DRACULA A.D. 1972 Bloody Throat Hammer Horror Photo

In the film, Johnny Alucard, played by Christopher Neame, draws Jessica Van Helsing and her friends to a Black Mass at the abandoned, deconsecrated St. Bartolph’s Church. Laura Bellows becomes the victim of the bloody ritual that resurrects Count Dracula, who subsequently kills her.

Carefully restored and professionally printed from archival source material, this museum-quality photograph preserves the vivid color and visceral Gothic atmosphere of Hammer’s modern-day Dracula production. A distinctive collectible for admirers of Christopher Lee, Caroline Munro, Dracula, and classic British horror cinema.

For the Black Mass segment, the film used the track "Black Mass: An Electric Storm in Hell" by the pioneering electronic group White Noise, from their 1969 album An Electric Storm; Neame's dialogue was later sampled by Orbital for "Satan Live" and "Tension". The film's opening sequence was not in the previous film, Scars of Dracula (1970), but is completely new and sets up a new short series of the Hammer Horror Dracula chronology finishing in the following film, The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973). This film's prologue takes place in 1872 and therefore is impossible to reconcile with the previous films in the series, the chronology of which starts in 1885 as described in the 1958 original.

While the two present-day Dracula films star both Lee and Cushing, they do not correspond to the chronology established in the Victorian/Edwardian-era films; the first Hammer Dracula film, Dracula, is set in the 1880s, whereas the flashback sequence of the last battle between Van Helsing and Dracula in Dracula A.D.

1972 is set in 1872—long before the first meeting of Van Helsing and Dracula in the original film. American film director Tim Burton at one point claimed it to be among his favorite films, and English author, film critic and horror expert Kim Newman chose it as one of his top 10 favorite vampire movies.

In the 2020 BBC/Netflix Dracula miniseries, the third episode is in itself an homage to the film, taking place in present day. It also includes references to it along with many other Hammer Dracula films.
