Summary: No animals or references to animals in the film.
Adamson created Doctor Dracula by recutting Aratow’s barely-seen Lucifer’s Women, about an author/illusionist who is possessed by the soul of Svengali and entangled with a group of satanists who need a human sacrifice, don’t they always. Adamson deletes the partial nudity, the mild lesbianism, and the abusive nightclub owner, and substitutes sideplot #1 about an unrelated woman who wants to communicate with her dead/undead mother, sideplot #2 about a vampire in cahoots with the satanists, and an elderly John Carradine who provides his usual slightly charming 1970s performance.
