1970 was a bumper year for horror, and vampire movies in particular.

But I'm pretty confident that Scars of Dracula was the only film where you could find George Carter from The Sweeney and that nice girl from Magpie at the mercy of Christopher Lee's Dracula, a previous incarnation of The Doctor, and the worst rubber bats you've ever seen outside a pound shop.

Are you brave enough to face The Scars of Dracula?

This episode is all about Amicus Films, their backstory and their two UK cinema releases of 1970: The Mind Of Mr Soames starring Terence Stamp, Robert Vaughn and Nigel Davenport, and Scream And Scream Again which stars Vincent Price, Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing - or does it?

The story of Frankenstein runs strongly through this episode, not just in the theme of this weeks movies but also in the backstory of Amicus Films themselves and their professional rivalry with Hammer Films.
