Lake Of Dracula (Japanese: 呪いの館 血を吸う眼, lit. Cursed Mansion: Bloodthirsty Eyes) is a 1971 Japanese horror film produced by Fumio Tanaka and directed by Michio Yamamoto.

Dubbing history[]

Ca. 1970 - 1971, Toho would commission Hong Kong ex-pat and former Axis International script writer Bob Toole to produce dubs of their films. These films include but may not be limited to Space Amoeba, Lake Of Dracula, and Godzilla Vs. Hedorah. Additionally, Bob handled the English dub of the Taiwanese-Japanese co-production, The Magic World Of Watari. Bob was probably fluent in Japanese after having spent a significant amount time stationed there after enlisting in the army. Hong Kong dubber Linda Masson believes that Bob had left Axis due to a disagreement with Axis' owner Ted Thomas. Linda says that Ted felt Bob was "being disloyal" when he left Axis.

Lake Of Dracula's dubbing cast consists of Barbara Laney, Barry Haigh, Lily Toole, an unknown male dubber of Canadian descent with no theories to his name (Unknown 1), Bob Toole (unconfirmed), Marc Toole, Gary Sauve (unconfirmed), and an unknown male dubber of Australian descent (Unknown 2, theorized to be David Perkins). Lake Of Dracula is unique in that it is the only dub produced by Bob Toole that features a female dubber in the lead role . This voice actress has other prominent roles in the Bob Toole dubs, though it can be argued that none of them are as significant as her role here.
