Slaughter of the Vampires aka Curse of the Blood Ghouls.
Nifty opening sequence involving angry villagers hunting down a pair of vampires, an interesting twist from the Hammer films where the villagers are always paralyzed with terror of the Vampire.
The Villager kill one of the vampires, a woman, while her husband escapes to his castle.
While he recovers from the attack in his coffin, time passes and newly wed couple, Wolfgang and Louise, have taken possession of the castle. The vampire awakens during a party the couple throw and he becomes obsessed with Louise.
Louise begins to waste away, so Wolfgang brings Dr Neitzsche to help cure her.
Harker, Mina, Van Helsing, same characters, different names.
Great sets, lush costumes... crappy dubbing. It's a fun little movie that's strictly by the numbers- it's Dracula with the serial numbers filed off, like an Italian Nosferatu.
