In all, Lee played Dracula ten times: seven films for Hammer Productions, once for Jess Franco's Count Dracula (1970), uncredited in Jerry Lewis's One More Time (1970) and douard Molinaro's Dracula and Son (1976) (he also played an unnamed but Dracula-like vampire in The Magic Christian [1969]).

The Satanic Rites of Dracula is the seventh and final vampire flick produced by Hammer to feature Lee in the role of Dracula.
