Trivia / The Satanic Rites of Dracula

• Completely Different Title: The film was released in some countries as Count Dracula and his Vampire Bride.
• Creator Backlash: Christopher Lee found himself getting increasingly dismayed and disillusioned that Dracula's portrayal was moving increasingly away from the source material, calling this movie "a mixture of Howard Hughes and Dr. No" in a 1994 interview.
• Enforced Method Acting: Christopher Lee later claimed that, for his death scene, he had to tear his way through actual hawthorn bushes, shedding real blood on the sharp thorns.
• The Other Darrin: Joanna Lumley replaces Stephanie Beacham from Dracula A.D. 1972 as Jessica Van Helsing.
• Working Title: Dracula is Dead...and Well and Living in London.
