Synopsis
Professor Abronsius and his assistant Alfred travel around Transylvania to confirm the true existence of vampires and convince their fellow scientists back at the University of Königsberg. After stopping at an inn covered in strings of garlic, the innkeeper claims that Dracula's castle doesn’t really exist and explains that the garlic is simply a decorative motif that is common to the region. A brilliant parody by Polanski of Hammer's British vampire boom.
