The castle, inhabited by Count Gabor, his assistant and a vampire, is little refuge for the traveling showgirls as they slowly fall under the spell of the un-dead demon. Vera, one of the reluctant dancers and the living doppelgänger of the vampire's dead wife, Margherita Kernassy—who has been dead nearly 200 years—becomes the object of affection for both Count Gabor and the vampire.[1] Cast

A totally shop-worn, sex-propelled fang-bat-and-tomb opera."[4] From retrospective reviews, AllMovie and TV Guide gave the films low rankings rating them 1 1/2 and 1 star out of five respectively.[2][5] In his analysis of the film, Louis Paul noted various similarities with Renato Polselli's film, The Vampire and the Ballerina, and with several subsequent Italian productions. He described the film as "satisfying on most levels, including the sexploitive one", and noted it was the first horror film featuring "a group of travelers [...] stranded at a malevolent and evil place", one of the topoi of the genre.{{sfn|Paul|2005|pp=15-6}} See also
