Overview

In the heart of Styria the Karnstein Family, even after their mortal deaths, rise from their tombs spreading evil in the countryside in their lust for fresh blood. Baron Hartog whose family are all victims of Karnstein vampirism, opens their graves and drives a stake through their diabolical hearts.

Viewing Notes

This would be the last film for us at the Music Box Massacre 7, the 11th feature film of the event (9 total for me) that finished around 6am in the morning. As much as we wanted to stay we would have been sleeping thru the remaining 3 films.

Even this one I was iffy on at 4:15 in the morning having seen it already this year… but how could I pass on naked Ingrid Pitt as a seductive vampire?! She was enough to keep me awake.

All in all it was a damn good horror movie marathon. Truly enjoyed all the films I saw w/the only exception being Waxworks. Seriously a wonderful treat to view all these in 35mm. Great night of films w/friends!
