Originally intended as a soft-core sex picture, this popular 1970 indie was picked up by AIP, which re-submitted it several times to the MPAA to get its initial X/R rating reduced to PG. The late Robert Quarry made his mark as the bloodsucking Count, reprising the role in the bigger-budgeted sequel/remake, The Return of Count Yorga.
