Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* WallCrawling: In this movie Dracula has a decent enough defense for the daylight hours: a room that can only be accessed by a small window, forcing potential attackers to climb down the castle wall to get to it. Dracula himself has no problem with that, since we see that he can easily climb the walls without even a rope.

* BloodierAndGorier: ''Scars'' is considered particularly gruesome by Hammer's usual standards; at one point Dracula stabs a woman to death with a knife, and she is subsequently dismembered with a hacksaw and disintegrated in acid (much of that isn't shown, but it's still pretty grim).

It is the first in the Hammer Dracula series to be rated R, precisely for this reason.
