The doctor is taken on a strange and dangerous route, and his sleigh driver admits to having been bribed to take him this way by a man whose description matches Dracula.

[8] Askonas was a member of the Deutsches Volstheatre in Vienna and had previously acted as Svengali in Trilby (1912), and later appear in films like Hoffmanns Erzählungen (1923) and The Hands of Orlac (1924).

Other larger roles in the film included Dezső Kertész who was Mihály's brother, as the young male lead George, and Margit Lux as Mary Land.

Beginning on 2 January 1921, he shot interior scenes at Corvin Film Studio in Budapest and returned to Vienna to shoot additional exteriors in the Wachau valley.

[3][a] Rhodes found no evidence of the film being re-released in either Hungary or Austria and it appears to have vanished from distribution in early 1923.
