The Empire of Dracula (Spanish: El imperio de Drácula) is a 1967 Mexican horror mystery thriller film directed by Federico Curiel and starring Lucha Villa, César del Campo, Eric del Castillo, Ethel Carrillo and Rebeca Iturbide.[1][2]

It was influenced by Hammer Horror films.[3] It is one of several vampire movies made in Mexico in the 1960s, alongside Miguel Morayta's duology, The Bloody Vampire (1962) and The Invasion of the Vampires (1963).[4]

A man searches for the vampire who killed his father to prevent him from coming back to life, but to do so he must fight his army of beautiful female vampires, who lure men to their estate so they can feed on their blood.
