Scars of Dracula (1970)

Smithee Award Nominations

Deus Ex Machina

Now We Know Where He Got the Scars

They're on the rooftop of Drac's castle. The hero rips a long wrought-iron bar from a nearby gate and hurls this makeshift metal spear at Drac. It sticks in the vampire, but does little more than amuse him. Drac rips the pole out of himself and raises it on high, as if to say "Now it's my turn." At that instant, lightning stabs down from the convenient thunderstorm that always surrounds Transylvanian castles. Dracula gets electrocuted, first writhing in agony, then bursting into flames (really nice, big ones), then plummetting from the parapet. We get to see a lovely outside shot of the flaming Count falling, falling, falling like a comet.
