Great smaller-sized Mexican lobby card for The Empire of Dracula, although a bit confusing for die hard fans as it mixes up a few movies through its illustration and sub-title. The Dracula in the illustration looks like German Robles (El Vampiro, The Vampire's Coffin, not the fang-meister in the inset scene (Eric del Castillo), and The Brides of Dracula ( Las Mujeres de Dracula) this movie is not. I guess they needed all the name recognition they could muster to sell theater tickets. The lobby itself has a wonderful primitiveness to it that's quite colorful. By the way, Dracula in this movie is called Draculstein. Go figure. A sequel character could be called Frankenula.
