Countess Dracula
When a voracious vampire vixen (Ingrid Pitt) discovers that virgins' blood holds the secret to eternal youth, it's not time at all before she's squeezing her sweet young chambermaids into a blood-chilling beauty cream. But there's a wrinkle in her plan when her beloved, Captain Dobi, stumbles on her bloody secret-and she finally learns that a little mass murder really can suck the romance out of your love life!
The Vampire Lovers
Buxom vamps and bloodthirsty beauties abound in this "absolutely yummy" (New York) thriller showcasing the netherworld's most voluptuous vampire! Traveling the countryside searching for victims, Carmilla quenches her thirst for blood with the best-looking maidens she can find. But when she unleashes a murderous sexual massacre on a small town, the local gentry fights back...plotting to drive a stake through the heart of this sexy, savage killer!

The Vampire Lovers, while certainly well made and acted, it didn't really live up to the hype of being Hammer's creative high of the 70s. The story has no sense of urgency or menance until the last 3 minutes, and even than it still manages to end with a whimper. On the bright side MGM Technical Services outdid themselves with a superb restoration of the video and audio. If only all catalogue titles received such lavish attention. The commentary is a little dry, but Pitt/Baker/Gates do provide so
