She excitedly calls her fiance, Dr. Piero Luciani (Gianni Medici), to tell him that she's going to travel to view the castle. Once there, she stops at a local inn for a drink, where she announces her destination and relation to the castle's inhabitants; this horrifies the townspeople. Unswayed by their reactions, Sylvia arrives at the castle and meets her uncle, Count Walbrooke (Julián Ugarte), and beds down for the night. She is later awakened by the maidservant Blinka (Adriana Ambesi), who warns her that Walbrooke is a century-old vampire that means her harm. Blinka's attempts to draw Sylvia out of bed and out of the castle are interrupted by Walbrooke, who takes her into another room and whips her. Sylvia pleads with him to stop, only for Walbrooke to reveal that Blinka herself is also a vampire. The next morning, Sylvia attempts to leave but is persuaded to stay after Walbrooke tells her about her aunt Malenka, who was burned at the stake for being a witch. He convinces Sylvia that the family is cursed, and that because of her strong resemblance to Malenka, paired with her ties to the family, Sylvia is also cursed. Furthermore, Sylvia must remain at the castle and stay unmarried, otherwise the curse will worsen and affect those around her. As a result, Sylvia breaks off her engagement with Piero, who decides to travel to the castle out of concern for Sylvia. When he arrives at the same inn that Sylvia visited earlier in the film, Piero is filled in on the events by Brugard (Juanita Ramírez), one of the inn's barmaids. He then travels to the castle, intending to stop Walbrooke from turning Sylvia into a vampire. The uncle's "vampire ploy" turns out to be a hoax he's using to drive his niece crazy. Cast
ProductionJulián Ugarte played the vampire uncle, Count Walbrooke, fresh from his appearance as the vampire in Paul Naschy's classic La marca del hombre lobo (1968). Boris Karloff was initially approached to star in the film, but he eventually turned down the role following contractual wrangles, and died before the film was completed.[7] The musical score by Carlo Savina (later the music director of films such as The Godfather and Amarcord) was reused in the 1971 low-budget horror film La notte dei dannati.[7] An alternate supernatural ending was added to the English-language version of the film, in which the uncle disintegrates into a skeleton at the end, apparently indicating that he really was a vampire and contradicting the rest of the film.[7] ReleaseThe movie had its world premiere on 23 July 1969 in Italy and was released in Spain in August of the same year. Upon its release, producers offered "free psychiatric care" for anyone disturbed by Malenka or either of the two other films they were showing, Curse of the Living Dead and Revenge of the Living Dead.[8] References{{portal|Film}}1. ^{{cite book|last=McCallum|first=Lawrence|title=Italian horror films of the 1960s: a critical catalog of 62 chillers|date=1998|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9780786404353|pages=75–77|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4qVZAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Fangs+of+the+Living+Dead%22&dq=%22Fangs+of+the+Living+Dead%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pO0vU7uTKInA0AHDxYCYBQ&ved=0CEQQ6AEwBTgK}} 2. ^{{cite book|title=Cinefantastique, Volume 3|date=1973|publisher=Cinefantastique|page=34|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=niMnAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Fangs+of+the+Living+Dead%22&dq=%22Fangs+of+the+Living+Dead%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Ju4vU9S-E4nA0AHDxYCYBQ&ved=0CEAQ6AEwBTgU}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Shipka|first=Danny|title=Perverse Titillation: The Exploitation Cinema of Italy, Spain and France|date=2011|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9780786486090|pages=240, 241, 256|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qVutMarqq44C&pg=PA241&lpg=PA241&dq=%22Malenka%22+de+Ossorio&source=bl&ots=zaX7tvpraz&sig=cue_Ozfrxr5WTZoJH3vUqxGfJ2A&hl=en&sa=X&ei=o-cvU8ybDKiU0QHN8YGgDw&ved=0CFkQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=%22Malenka%22%20de%20Ossorio&f=false}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Cathal Tohill|first=Pete Tombs|title=Immoral Tales: European Sex & Horror Movies, 1956-1984|date=1995|publisher=MacMillan|isbn=9780312135195|pages=65, 260|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XN-KJirO27YC&pg=RA2-PA1941&dq=%22Malenka%22+de+Ossorio&hl=en&sa=X&ei=n-ovU9bNHuSs0AHSooAQ&ved=0CEcQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22Malenka%22%20de%20Ossorio&f=false}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Lidz|first=Franz|title=Attack of the $1 DVD's|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/03/movies/03lidz.html?_r=0|accessdate=24 March 2014|newspaper=NYT|date=July 3, 2005}} 6. ^{{cite web|last=Aldana Reyes|first=Dr Xavier|title=Spanish Gothic Horror|url=http://www.gothic.stir.ac.uk/guestblog/spanish-gothic-horror/|publisher=University of Stirling|accessdate=24 March 2014}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Paolo Mereghetti|title=Il Mereghetti|publisher=B.C.
