Originally intended as a softcore horror film (the presence of nudie actress Marsha Jordan--in her only straight movie--is a dead giveaway), COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE was instead shot and released as a PG-rated vampire flick taking place in modern California, and it was one of AIP s biggest money-makers at the time. Casting Robert Quarry as a Dracula-like Bulgarian Count with a small coven of undead brides was a brilliant idea, as the actor was born to play the role and ranks among the silver screen s all-time best bloodsuckers. Originally released as a single DVD in 2001, MGM has now re-released it with its sequel, THE RETURN OF THE COUNT YORGA to make for one nifty double feature disc!
