    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The movie was originally conceived as a low-budget, soft-core, porno film with the title was "The Loves of Count Iorga, Vampire!" Later however the decision was made to film it as a regular horror movie with the less erotic "Count Yorga, Vampire!" title. This name change explains the poor animation of the phrase "Count Yorga" in the title as it now appears on-screen. The original title (and original Iorga spelling) had been restored by the 1990's, but all prints were identical to the original 1970 release. Apparently no additional footage survives from its original erotic premise. (It's worth noting that actors often pronounce the count's name within the film as "Iorga" (ee-yor-ga), not "Yorga" (yor-ga).
    • Goofs
      Yorga's fangs are inconsistent: sometimes all of his visible teeth are pointed, but in a few shots only his canines are pointed while his incisors are not.
    • Quotes

      Count Yorga: Doctor Hayes, what an unexpected surprise.

      Dr. James Hayes: Yes, so much so that I almost had a massive coronory.

    • Alternate versions
      The new DVD version contains a longer scene of the cat eating.
    • Connections
      Edited into Blacula (1972)

    Very innovative for its time
    At the time this film was made, vampires were almost always slow and hypnotic. This was really the first vampire film that treated them as swift and animalistic. That made this film surprisingly effective. It was even more surprising since it was originally supposed to be a pornographic vampire film called THE LOVES OF COUNT IORGA. It is flawed, but I still think it is the most effective vampire film I have ever seen. And I have seen quite a few.
