Storyline
Plot Summary |
Sixties couples Michael and Donna and Paul and Erica become involved with the intense Count Yorga at a Los Angeles seance, the Count having latterly been involved with Donna's just-dead mother. After taking the Count home, Paul and Erica are waylaid, and next day a listless Erica is diagnosed by their doctor as having lost a lot of blood. When she is later found eating her pet kitten the doctor becomes convinced that vampirism is at work, and that its focus is Count Yorga and his large isolated manor.

Did You Know?
Trivia | This film was originally conceived as a low budget softcore pornography film titled "The Loves of Count Iorga, Vampire". Later, however, the decision was made to film it as a regular horror film with the less erotic title "Count Yorga, Vampire" . This name change explains the poor animation of the name "Count Yorga" in the film's title as it now appears on-screen. The original title and original Iorga spelling were both restored to the film by the 1990s, but all prints of it were still identical to the original 1970 release. Apparently, no additional footage survives from its original porn version of it at all and it is unknown if said version was actually filmed or, if it was filmed, whether or not it was finished or even released if it was (it is worth noting, however, that the characters often pronounce the Count's name within the film as "Iorga" (ee-yor-ga) and not as "Yorga" (yor-ga)).

Goofs | Count Yorga's fangs are inconsistent throughout the entire film: sometimes all of his visible teeth are pointed, but in a few shots only his canines are pointed while his incisors are not. See more » |
