COMMERCIAL BREAK: Dracula Has Risen From The Grave - TV Spot (1968)

Following my recent piece on Hammer's Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (which you can read over at SpookyIsles.com by clicking the image above), I came across this vintage TV spot.

It was created by Warner Bros-Seven Arts to promote the original theatrical release on US television back in 1968. Quite bizarre, yet strangely enjoyable, it would certainly make me want to go and see the movie, although the humourous tone does the movie a disservice somewhat. It's an interesting timepiece nonetheless...

FOOTNOTE: Yes, you heard that right - The MPAA rated this film G - General Audiences, All Ages Admitted. Go figure...
