A vampire terrorizes a sleepy Sussex village.
SPOILERS ahead
The one and only time I saw this classic was when it was first screened back in '77. Although it's been over 25 years I can still vividly recall certain scenes. Specifically when our hero confronts the vampire (Mrs. Amworth) during an all night vigil over one of her victims. I can still recall him stumbling into the room to find her leaning over the bed and of her maniacal laugh once she was aware of his presence. Another moment includes the slamming of a window shutter on to the undead's arm and its subsequent fading away. But the best and most hair raising scene occurred within the village graveyard. Safely hidden the hero along with a learned friend (Urcombe) waits for the vampire to return to her grave. When the vampire finally comes it does so in slow motion and accompanied by a beating heart soundtrack. Very eerie and unsettling particularly at the end of the scene where the vampire howls and vanishes over the grave.
Curiously I seem to remember it being screened early in the evening and certainly before 9 o'clock - thus explaining as to why I was able to watch it!. Sadly to my knowledge there has never been a repeat screening.
Don't be fooled by the innocuous title - this is one of THE classic vampire stories and ranks equally alongside E.F.Benson other entry in the genre 'The Room in the Tower,
