Dracula: Prince of Darkness is a 1966 British Hammer horror film directed by the late Terence Fisher, produced by the late Anthony Nelson Keys, and starring the late Christopher Lee, the late Suzan Farmer, the late Barbara Shelley, the late Francis Matthews, the late Philip Latham, and the late Andrew Keir. It is the third film in the Hammer franchise Dracula, the sequel to Horror of Dracula and followed by Dracula Has Risen from the Grave.
Father Sandor (Andrew Keir), abbot of Kleinberg, sends a message to the members of an expedition heading to the mountains, advising them not to go any further. Despite the warning, the Kents (Charles Tingwell/Barbara Shelley/Francis Matthews/Suzan Farmer) decide to continue the journey. At dusk, their terrified coachman (John Maxim) refuses to go any further and abandons them in the middle of the forest. In such a circumstance, a mysterious black carriage appears and takes them to a huge and mysterious castle, where they are hospitably received by the butler (Philip Latham) of the late Count Dracula (Christopher Lee).
