Curse of the Blood Ghouls (1962)

Much Like The Story Of Dracula

The Vampire and his bride were on the run from the villagers when the bride was caught and staked. Now The Vampire is in search of a new bride. Wolfgang and his wife, Louise, acquire a castle and move in. Now The Vampire has his eyes on Louise and wants to make her his new bride.

If you like the story of Dracula, then it's possible you will like this Italian Gothic chiller. Louise and Wolfgang are much like Mina and Jonathan Harker, while Dr. Nietzsche is sorta a Dr. Van Helsing character. Carine is like Lucy and The Vampire, of course, is like Dracula.

I didn't have a problem with the dubbing from Italian into English - the copy I watched was fine. It's beautifully filmed, one of the best Italian films I've ever seen.  The movie is written well -- just a revamping of the classic story of Dracula - and it's well acted out as too.

I really enjoyed this film - and I do recommend it to Vampire fans and for those that love Classic Gothic Horror.

8.5/10
