The Mystery in Dracula's Castle (1973)


Buena Vista Pictures
Directed by Robert Totten
My rating: 2 stars out of 4

Aspiring teenage filmmaker Johnny Whitaker and his young brother move to a sleepy California seaside town with mom Mariette Hartley so she can work on her new book. The two kids adopt a stray dog, and they roam around town filming their home "Dracula" movie. A lighthouse proves to be the perfect "castle", but it's also inhabited by a couple of bungling thieves who have their eye on an expensive necklace in the town jewelry store. Innocuous Disney entertainment with familiar TV faces and obvious back lot setting.
