A troupe of five showgirls, along with their manager, are traveling through a remote stretch of countryside when their minibus gets stuck after a rainstorm. Finding refuge at the castle home of the mysterious Count Gabor Kernassy, the women make the best of the situation by continuing to practice their burlesque routines. But little do they know that the strange Count is harboring a fiendish secret and is intent on subjecting the lovely ladies to his vampiric desires…
A pioneering entry in the history of more erotically-minded Italian gothic horror, future Fulci collaborator Piero Regnoli’s (writer of Demonia and Burial Ground) sole horror directing effort, THE PLAYGIRLS AND THE VAMPIRE (L'ultima preda del vampiro) is a cheeky and charming mix of atmospheric castle chills and sexy go-go thrills. Starring actor-turned-producer Walter Brandi (Bloody Pit of Horror) along with veteran screen stars Lyla Rocco (One Step to Eternity) and Alfredo Rizzo (The Beast in Heat), and featuring striking black-and-white photography by Aldo Greci (Play Motel), Vinegar Syndrome proudly brings this delightfully offbeat drive-in and late-night TV favorite to Blu-ray for the first time, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm fine grain master and presented in both its original Italian language version and English dub.

"A fun Sexy take on "THE OLD DARK HOUSE" with Playboy models/dancers coming to a large Vampire castle, in search of refuge from storm blocking the roads & bridge into town. The film is less Horror & more camp & Silliness,but non the lass a fun early 60's Euro-camp-horror! Nice restoration from VS."
"This one seems slept on, including by myself until recently. Predictable plot, but that’s not an issue. People getting stranded in a storm always does the job. Nicely photographed sleaze! Packaging is nice and the artwork is typically solid. Would have liked a commentary track, but the special features are solid."
"A fun black and white vampire flick very atmospheric castle in the countryside lovely women you can’t go wrong"
"Love these black and white gothic horror flicks"
"Decent Gothic horror. Great restoration."
"Is it a great movie? Not at all, but it sure is fun. Best comparison I can think of is Horrors of Spider Island (1960). Like in that film, a bunch of showgirls, in various stages of undress, fall into a genre film. Here, a classic goth horror with everything from the creepy castle to the dark stormy nights. And there's something about a vampire and his reincarnated lover that's only half thought out. Highly recommended if you like gothic horror, laughing at b-films, and seeing beautiful scantily clad women run around"
"Really fun movie, with heaps of atmosphere. Looks great too and some nice extras"
"Slow to start but checky fun."
"Haven't watched this one yet but it seems interesting."
"had a lot of fun with this one."
