When soldiers foolishly remove a stake from a mysterious Transylvanian grave, they release a vampire dog belonging to the Dracula clan. Also freed is Veidt-Smit (Reggie Nalder), an old servant of the Count himself, not quite a vampire, but immortal all the same: he can work in the daylight. Together, the blood-sucking dog and he go to the U.S. in search of Michael Drake (Michael Pataki), who is the last of the Dracula family line and who has no notion that there is anything strange in his family tree. Meanwhile, they are being followed by a Transylvanian vampire-hunter, Inspector Branco (Jose Ferrer) ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Death comes in the form of a vampire dog in Zoltan, Hound of Dracula. The film is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and appears to be in very good shape. While a few imperfections abound (including dirt and edge enhancement), overall this is a fairly sharp-looking image that sports solid colors and dark black levels. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono in English and sounds very passable. While directional effects are completely non-present, the mix itself is clear of any excessive hiss or distortion. No alternate soundtracks or subtitles are available on this disc. The extra features on Zoltan, Hound of Dracula are floating at the bare minimum -- all that's included on this disc is a theatrical trailer for the film. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
