Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the first vampire films from Spain, it was inspired by similarly themed Italian and British vampire films that were being released during the same time period, such as Dance of the Vampires. It has been credited as being "the 1969 picture that hammered the final nail into the cinematic coffin of the bomb-shelter-era bombshell Anita Ekberg," as well as being "one of the most original gothic examples of Spanish horror."
- GoofsAs Sylvia reads the dates of birth and death from the crypt, she says "1790-1840" although the stone reads 1768-1840.
- Alternate versionsAn English dubbed version of this film was released in the United States in 1973 as part of the "Orgy of the Living Dead" triple feature. The film was cut to approximately 75 minutes and re-titled "Fangs of the Living Dead."
Featured review
FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD (1969) * Anita Ekberg, Julián Ugarte, Gianni Medici, Diana Lorys. In this 1969 film by Amando de Ossorio (Tombs of the Blind Dead) Ekberg plays an Italian fashion model who inherits a creepy Spanish castle, only to learn that her ancestors were vampires. The sets and costumes are beautiful, but can't compensate for the stiff performances, poor dubbing and slow pacing. Avoid the Retromedia DVD version. Even though it purports to be the 88-minute "Americanized" version of the film, it's only 74 minutes and appears to be an edited-for-television version.
