A straight-laced couple stumbles into the castle of a flamboyant scientist from Transylvania. It's a rock musical that got most of its fame from audiences at midnight screenings.

• The film was shot at Bray Studios and at Oakley Court, a country house near Maidenhead.
• Props and set pieces were reused from old Hammer Horror films.
• The tank and dummy used in the birth scene first appeared in The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958).
