The Brides of Dracula is a 1960 British Hammer and Universal horror film directed by the late Terence Fisher, produced by the late Anthony Hinds, and starring the late David Peel, the late Peter Cushing, the late Martita Hunt, the late Yvonne Monlaur, the late Freda Jackson, and the late Miles Malleson. It is the second film in the Hammer franchise Dracula, the sequel to Horror of Dracula and followed by Dracula: Prince of Darkness.
Marianne Danielle is traveling through Eastern Europe in order to take a position as a French teacher at a girls' school in Transylvania, now free from the threat of Count Dracula (Christopher Lee). She is not very well received by the locals and ends up being accommodated in Baroness Meinster's (Martita Hunt) castle, where she meets the noblewoman's son (David Peel), who lives chained to the wall. Taking pity on the young man, Marianne decides to free him without suspecting that he is a vampire. Luckily for her, Doctor Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) is nearby and promises to end the life of yet another dark being.
