shooting locations


Where in UK and Yugoslavia wasx this film shot?

I was wondering the same thing. I'm just over an hour into it, and the only place I've recognized so far was Oakley Court, an old Gothic mansion on the banks of the River Thames in Windsor. It appears only briefly as the exterior of Carfax Abbey. It appeared in several Hammer horrors, as it was right next door to Bray Studios, the home of Hammer Films until 1967.

Not sure where the Whitby scenes were filmed, but I've been to Whitby several times and I don't think it was actually there. The George Hotel definitely wasn't the real George Hotel.

I wonder, also, about this. I'm wondering about Dracula's castle. The exterior looks good but the interior looks more like an English manor house than a ruined Transylvania castle.

Drac's castle in the movie was shot at Trakoscan Castle, Croatia (formerly part of Yugoslavia). Someone else pointed out that England's Oakley Court, Windsor, stands in for Carfax Abbey. I'm assuming that all or most of the interiors were shot at the studio listed at the end of the Movie's credits which, if I remember correctly, is Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire, just northwest of London. (Hammer productions jumped around from studio to studio in the region back in the day, e.g. Bray Studios, Shepperton Studios and Pinewood Studios).
