Original country-of-origin poster for this Mexican vampire movie. Chronologically this film was released between Universal Studios' Dracula in the 1930s and the 1960s version released by Hammer Studios. It is the first vampire film to show Dracula with fangs, which ostensibly created the image of the vampire that has resonated throughout popular consciousness to the present day. Beauty and the Beast p. 93.
