...oh, for Pete's sake; let the REAL Dracula/Vampire movie connoisseur get in there and help you. You're talking about my favorite Christoper Lee 'Dracula' movie, here...in fact, one of my favorite British Hammer Studios films, next to "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed" and "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde"...you're talking about the 1968 chiller, "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave"...
...here's the details on that ending, which you are referring to: ...at the end of the film, Dracula is heading back to his castle, trailed by a young girl, who is under his power; not far behind them, is the young girl's boyfriend (...who is an athiest), and a fallen priest (...who was under the influence of the Count, before the young man snapped him out of it). Once Dracula has reached his castle, he orders the girl to remove a large silver cross, which is sealing the doorway of his castle (...placed there, earlier in the film); the mesmorized girl complies, takes the cross from the door, and tosses it over a railing, several feet in front of the castle door. The cross falls over the railing, and into a pit, where it slams heavily upright into the ground. At that time, the young man and the priest arrive on the scene, and the young man grapples with Dracula, as they get closer and closer to the railing; finally, in the midst of the fight, they both begin to fall over the railing. The young man manages to catch himself from falling over the side, but the Count is unable to stop his fall; he falls into the pit, and impales himself, back first, onto the sharp head of the cross in the pit. As the Count is struggling to release himself from the cross, the fallen priest picks up his scripture, and begins to read the rite of exorcism; the Count finally weakens, collapses, turns to dust (...except for his cloak and ring, of course...for the sequel, "Taste the Blood of Dracula"), and the priest himself collapses, dying from exhaustion. The young man, upon seeing all of this, rushes to his girlfriend, holds her tight, and crosses himself, having regain his own faith...The End.
...there's a great scene in the film, where the young athiest, having just knocked some sense into the fallen priest, accompanies the priest to find Dracula's coffin; once they find it, they open it, and drive a stake into the sleeping Count. However, upon awakening, the Count struggles to remove the stake, and succeeds in doing so, since the fallen priest has lost his faith, and the young man is an athiest...and neither can pray!!!
...and now, for some really good news!!! After reading all of this, you might be rushed to purchase the single disc of "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave"; I suggest you hold onto you hard earned dollars just a bit more, because there is about to be released, a special collection, containing all four of the Warner Bros. distributed Hammer/Christopher Lee/Dracula films (...Warner Bros. shares video distribution rights with Anchor Bay Entertainment, who carries all of the other Chris Lee/Dracula movies). The collection will include "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave", "Horror of Dracula", "Taste the Blood of Dracula", and "Dracula A.D. 1972". Keep an eye out for it...it's coming up, this Tuesday, in fact!!!

I don't know if your channel 5 is the same as my channel 5, but here is a location to find all of Christopher Lee's movie titles. One, from 1958 was "The Horror of Dracula". This page gives a plot synopsis of the movie so it may let you know if it is the correct movie, or you can search the other Christopher Lee movies for the correct one. http://allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:23155

Terence Fisher's DRACULA (HORROR OF DRACULA in the USA; 1958) is the best vampire film of all time. No other picture combines the right amounts of horror, humor, action, and eroticism. Britain's Hammer Films is legendary for their horror films--this is the best of them. Lee is electric as the ferocious Count, despite his limited screen time, and Peter Cushing turns Van Helsing into a virtual swashbuckler of a hero, leaping and diving through the climax like an aging action hero. Cushing reprises his role in The Brides of Dracula, while Lee absented himself from the series until 1966's Dracula: Prince of Darkness.

you're precisely appropriate. additionally, 10 years in the past in case you wished to observe a PPV you had to easily pay for it and now the vast majority of followers illegally circulation them over the internet so, surely there are numerous greater human beings looking at than what's counted in the purchase costs. additionally, the Syndicated Cable Assoc. presently released a report asserting that the scores are easily tabulated in a distinctive way now so as that the score seems to be decrease yet easily isn't. occasion: 10 yrs in the past you will have purely had 4 shows competing in a similar time slot the place as we talk you have 8 shows competing for the visitors in a similar time slot so a "share" of the scores is going to look greater whilst divided via 4 particularly than 8.
