| Summary: |
Having a black sheep in the family is bad enough, but just imagine one with fangs! The penniless Italian count Osvaldo Lambertenghi (Renato Rascal) is visited by his German uncle (Christopher Lee), but what the uncle doesn't know is that the nephew was forced to sell the family castle to pay back taxes (the castle is now a resort and the nephew is the bellhop) and what the nephew doesn't know is...well, that uncle is a vampire. When the vampirish uncle passes his curse on to Osvaldo, the latter finally makes it with the female guests - but not in the way he hoped to... | Note: |
- Christopher Lee's first horror adventure in Italy was a spoof of his Dracula role. This was the only Dracula-type role Lee accepted during the long hiatus between "Dracula" (1958) and "Dracula: Prince Of Darkness" (1965). |
- The Italian predilection of that time for not using live sound resulted in Christopher Lee's voice being dubbed by another actor for the English language version. - Befor it's US release, the film was cut about 13 minutes.
