Taste the Blood of Dracula is a British horror film produced by Hammer Film Productions and released in 1970.

Three English gentlemen Hargood, Paxton and Secker have formed a circle ostensibly devoted to charitable work but in reality they indulge themselves in brothels. One night they are intrigued by a young man who bursts into the brothel and is immediately tended to after snapping his fingers, despite the brothelkeepers objections. The gentlemen are informed that he is Courtley, who was disinherited for celebrating a Black Mass.Hoping for more intense pleasures, Hargood meets Courtley outside the brothel. The younger man takes the three to the Cafe Royal and promises them experiences they will never forget but insists that they go to see Weller and purchase from him Draculas ring, cloak and dried blood. Having done so, the three meet with Courtley at an abandoned Church for a ceremony during which he puts the dried blood into goblets and mixes it with drops of his own blood, telling the men to drink. They refuse, so he drinks the blood himself, screams and falls to the ground. As he grabs their legs, they kick and beat him, not stopping until Courtley dies, at which they flee. While the three return to their respective homes and return to their lives, Courtleys body, left in the abandoned church, transforms into Dracula, who vows that those who have destroyed his servant will be destroyed. ........
