He climbs into the bell chamber, where he discovers the corpse of a young woman crammed inside the church bell, another victim of Dracula.A year later in 1906, following the events of the previous film, Dracula has been destroyed. Monsignor Ernest Mueller Rupert Davies comes to the village on a routine visit only to find the altar boy is now a frightened mute and the priest Ewan Hooper has lost his faith. The villagers refuse to attend Mass at the Catholic church because the shadow of Draculas castle touches it. To bring to an end the villagers fears, Mueller climbs to the castle to exorcise it. ........
