Doctor Dracula is a 1978 horror film directed by Al Adamson, featuring John Carradine. According to Vinegar Syndrome website, who released a DVD version in 2018, the film is a "schizoid reworking" of Paul Aratow's Lucifers's Women.[1]
Plot
John Wainwright is a best-selling author and magician who claims he is the reincarnation of Svengali. He uses his skills as a hypnotist to take control of women. He starts to practice black magic.

Production
The film uses footage from Lucifers's Women in addition to newly scenes shot by Adamson, with production by Sam Sherman: as a result, Doctor Dracula (90' long while Lucifer's Women had almost the same duration, with 91'[2]) comprises less sexual explicit content than Aratow's film but offers more aspects of a standard horror film.
Reception
The film is generally reviewed in comparison with the film it derives from and one of these reviews states: "Both Lucifer’s Women and Doctor Dracula have their advantages, but neither one is able to live up to their intriguing titles."
