Overview

Sir Borotyn, a prominent Prague resident, is discovered murdered in his home, with all indications pointing to a vampire assault. The victim’s friend, Baron Otto, and the physician who analyzes the body are certain that the vampire is the mysterious Count Mora, or perhaps his daughter, but receive little help from the law. Professor Zelen, an expert in the occult, is called in to assist with the investigation.

Viewing Notes

Watched this again since it was the same WB dvd as Mask of Fu Manchu, both being MGM releases, however. Forgot the premise of this so it caught me by surprise (again). Listened to some of the Kim Newman / Steve Jones commentary. Really great stuff that I did not know. If I could find this dvd cheap I’d buy it.
