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

Roy Ward Baker’s The Vampire Lovers (1970) is another old AIP / Hammer classic running on NWI right now. Better than average plus the gorgeous Ingrid Pitt but not near the top. Essentially a vampire Marcilla infiltrates a family and horror ensues. Still required viewing for all Hammer horror fans.
