The premise
Professor Van Helsing had been asked to help against the tyranny of skeletal creatures that are responsible for terror and death amongst the peasants in rural China. He is the only person qualified to deal with the cause of these phenomena, for the undead are controlled by the most diabolical force of all.... Count Dracula. But he is not alone- to aid him comes a mystical brotherhood of seven martial arts warriors.
Horror Vault's take
A one-of-a-kind East-West horror mashup, this 1974 Hammer-Shaw Brothers co-production sends the legendary Professor Van Helsing deep into rural China, where peasant villages live in terror of a supernatural plague of the undead. Van Helsing joins forces with a formidable brotherhood of martial arts warriors to root out the ancient evil pulling the strings behind the carnage. Expect kung fu showdowns alongside gothic horror staples, all wrapped in the lurid colour palette Hammer fans know and love.
