Meanwhile Goliath allies with Kurtik, leader of the Blue Men. The Sultan's soldiers soon capture Goliath but he escapes, after rescuing Guja, and together the two flee to a cave in the desert.

Trivia
Released theatrically in both the US and UK exclusively as Goliath and the Vampires. American International Television shortened the title to The Vampires for TV-prints, one of which was used for the Sinister Cinema DVD release in 2004. There is no evidence that this film has ever been released as Samson vs. the Vampires. Kino Lorber were rumored in November 2019 to be planning a Blu-ray disc of that title, but their catalog has no mention of it. See more »Goofs

Proficient capable adventure just some dull parts in a sandstorm/wandering or near the Kobrac's castle wandering but otherwise, pretty above the usual of these type of adventures. There is clever spots and interesting things particularly the main guy is believable.
