I was guessing Madrid but wasn't sure. I was also wondering what the names of the two different castles were that are featured in the films opening. ~Thank you.

I probably have the info written down somewhere, but am not able to locate it at present. I believe the house where Dracula was filmed had some Franco connection--not Jess Franco, but Generalissimo Franco. Mirek

The house they used in the beginning shot on the hilltop was "Canto Del Pico" in Torreldones. I have most of the locations and stuff written down. The cellar and tunnels used were old military bunkers of General Miajadas, who led attacks of General Franco. Great information and pics. ~Thank you again.

It's that incredible woodwork that made it really obvious. Any other films shot in that house?

The list goes on.... Mirek

So another Spanish horror movie landmark--well, not gone--but displaced. But it won't be the same if it's not on that mountain. Mirek

Emma is frequently undressed. I'd have to watch it again to authoritively state something, but I remember it being romantic with a nod to COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE. There's a party scene that reminded me of Polanski's FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS. Klimovsky thought highly of this film. Mirek

I have never been to Spain but I would love to vist and eat there. I hear the sights and food are exceptional. I also would love to vist some of the old film sets....well, one of them almost gone.......I have never seen Canto Del Pico in person, but I am sick just the same reading that. Here is a perfect compasrison shot with the films casle shot and this newer shot. It is perfecto! Last Edited By: NaschysDracula 05/03/08 19:33:37. Edited 1 times.
