VIEWERS switching on to see a new made-for-TV film may think the classic tale of horror is a little too close to home.

The latest movie about Dracula, starring Marc Warren as the vampire and David Suchet as Van Helsing, was filmed not in far flung Romania but at Eastnor Castle.

Castle manager Simon Foster said: "We are all very much looking forward to seeing the film, which I am sure will be very scary."

Filming took place over eight days in August and involved a crew of more than 40 people. Dracula will be screen on Thursday (December 28), at 9pm.
