Clive Donner had been living in limbo since the famous disaster of Alfred the Great, but making a movie like Vampira is no way to set any man's career to rights.
It's a horror spoof with no sense of style and no sense of humour, for which Jeremy Lloyd's infantile script is as much to blame as Donner's slap-happy direction.
Count Dracula's beloved Vampira is mistakenly brought back to life fl rather than white, and Dracula (Niven) runs amok in a still-swinging London trying to find an antidote - a plotline which provides sufficient excuse for jokes and wheezes that one thought had gone out with The Munsters.
Vampira, undisputed Queen of the horror scene, started out her life in Finland with her given name Maila Syrjanieme Nurmi (She is the niece of famed Olympic runner Paavo Nurmi).
Vampira would be introducing her weekend horror movie to Los Angeles First called LADY OF HORRORS.
The show was such an early fore-runner that for the most part Vampira would host four horror movies to every six detective films in her show.
