Baker’s sole gig directing Christopher Lee as Dracula—made while the actor was performing the role constantly, including in cameos—also marked the final contribution of screenwriter John Elder (real name, Anthony Hinds) to the series after a decade. Party boy Christopher Matthews’ disappearance leads brother Dennis Waterman and sweetheart Jenny Hanley straight to the evil Count’s castle lair. With Patrick Troughton, Bob Todd (of The Benny Hill Show), and future filmmaker David Leland.
