Vampire Circus

A dying vampire swears vengeance on the townsfolk who killed him. The promise seems to have been realized when, years later, plague arrives.

"No sawdust can soak up the torrent of blood!" screamed the posters for highly effective chiller. Robert Young's picture boasts flair and a willingness to address themes that even Hammer Films rarely broached. He's helped by a dynamic cast including Adrienne Corri, Laurence Payne and Peter Sellers' fourth wife, Lynne Frederick.
