Dracula Has Risen From The Grave Television Spot

Here is a really cool follow up to the previous post on DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE. Well, it is not so much a follow up as much as it is another YouTube video. This one is a LONG LOST television spot for the film. This is truly a time capsule because they DO NOT make television spots like this anymore. Yes, this spot is somewhat corny but it is effective. You have to remember, most horror movies in the 1960s were advertised on late night television horror programs. These programs mainly aired old black and white films that drew a kid’s audience. Some of these kid’s could even be coaxed into venturing into a theater for more modern fair. That is why oddball commercials such as this creepy TV spot were produced. They were designed to capture the imagination of little kids, frighten them, and get them to buy tickets! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
