Summary:	As a result of someone murdering millionaire Henry McDermott, seven highly eccentric artists are in line to inherit his fortune. The odd heirs - which include an inventor (Fernando Soto), pianist, artist (Pascual Garcia Pena), magician (Roberto Cobo), the attorney who holds the will, a private detective (Joaquin Garcia Vargas), and even a teen heartthrob - all must spend two weeks locked in McDermott's spooky old mansion (which is constructed on top of an old cemetery) along with McDermott's jovial ghost (who has a knife protruding from his belly and seems to appear all over the place), a housekeeper who's also a witch (and has an old-fashioned cauldron down in the basement which looks like a medieval dungeon), and Henry's evil brother Julius (Jorge Beirute) who is, apparently, a vampire, who's in cahoots with a killer under an Inquisition-style hood. Of course, the heirs start getting murdered one by one almost immediately...
Note:	- According to advertising material, the feature film "Echenme Al Vampiro" was a composite of three "episodes": "Echenme al Vampiro", "La Mansion Negra" and "Siete Condenados". However, according to Mexican film historian David Wilt, "the film was made in three 'episodes' but this was a fiction for legal purposes. The episodes were never shown separately. Some of the plot confusion might be attributed to the fact that this was a 'sequel' to "La Casa De Los Espantos", which was shot immediately before." - The story is an Undead variant on the Old Dark House sub-genre, with pretty much the same basic plot as "The Phantom In The Red House" made six years earlier, and substitutes a vampire for The Phantom, providing more murders and mayhem.
