HODS has it's flaws, as do all films.
But it also had:
Nancy Barrett as the vampire Carolyn:
sexy & scary as hell!
The pool scene with David: Brrrrr........
Lyndhurst:
you acually felt the grandness of the 40 room manor.
The underground crypt:
Jewels or no, I wouldn't set foot in that creepy place for a million dollars!
Lockwood Mathews:
setting of the film's climax:
another place to avoid on a dark & stormy night!
