Brand new factory sealed dvd is Out Of Print (OOP) and no longer being manufactured.
Too bad this fun vampire adventure film got lost on a double bill because it's really good.
Set in the early 19th century, the film opens like a western gone wrong with its blond, caped superhero (Horst Janson) astride a horse, his saddle embellished with an ornate K, accompanied by an odd hunchbacked assistant, Professor Grost (John Carson) who drives a rickety wagon. In a small village in the remote England countryside, several young maidens have aged horribly and died.
Suspecting a supernatural evil at work, the local doctor calls on Army friend and famed vampire hunter Captain Kronos, an expert swordsman formerly of the King's Imperial Guard. Aided by his assistant Professor Grost, they pick up Carla (Caroline Munro) on the way. They quickly confirm the gruesome murders are the work of a unique type of vampire, one who drains its victims not of their blood, but of their youth!
When a friend (Ian Hendry) becomes a vampire they try to kill him using a cross, bullets, a sword, and hanging. Nothing seems to work. They figure out how to knock him off just in time by forging a magic sword from an old cross in a cemetery.
They also discover the main vampire to be an aristocratic middle-aged lady (Wanda Ventham) of the manor who covered her youthful face with a mask and her resurrected husband. With their new weapon, the vampire hunters set out to put an end to Evil's reign of terror.
