The Unquenchable Thirst of Dracula Scriptbook
Discover the Hammer film that never was.
The Official Script Collection is a new series of beautifully produced, highly collectable books exploring Hammer’s films through the original scripts, drafts and production documents that reveal what happened behind the scenes.
During production, Hammer frequently changed dialogue, scenes and story elements from the original scripts. These rare documents offer a fascinating glimpse into the films as they were originally conceived — while the scripts for unmade projects reveal tantalising visions of films that never reached the screen.
The first volume turns its attention to one of Hammer’s most intriguing unrealised Dracula projects: The Unquenchable Thirst of Dracula.
Written by Hammer stalwart Anthony Hinds, this India-set adventure was conceived in the 1970s as a vehicle for Christopher Lee to return once again as the legendary Count. This definitive collection brings together two versions of the screenplay, charting the evolution of a Dracula film that ultimately remained tantalisingly unmade.
Presented in a premium slipcased hardback edition, this is an essential addition to any Hammer collection — and a rare opportunity to explore the creative process behind one of the studio’s lost films.
The Official Script Collection opens the Hammer archive to reveal the films behind the films — the stories that changed, evolved and, sometimes, were never made at all.
