I've been wanting to see this for some time now because it is the X-rated movie Sean "Friday the 13th" Cunningham, future director Steve Miner, and an uncredited Wes Craven made right after "Last House on the Left". Supposedly, this was once a full-blown (pardon the pun there) hardcore feature, but the only existing version is a nudie/softcore one that only comes anywhere near hardcore sex in one scene near the end where Harry Reems chases the female vampire villainess around naked and tries to "stake" her with his giant, but probably fake, painted erection.
This movie stayed with me because it was the first porn movie I saw--very much by accident, as it was apparently released in both a hardcore and softcore version, and the theater I saw it in put it on a bill with a terrible R-rated British sex comedy called "Not Now Darling," clearly unaware that they had been shipped the hardcore version by (I'm assuming) mistake. I wonder if before the week was out someone ratted out the movie's "adult" nature to the management.
Long before "Friday The 13TH", Sean Cunningham made this little beauty. It's actually the best movie he's ever made!
I first saw this movie in the mid-1970's at the local drive-in. It was very popular in Australia both in mainstream movie theatres and then at drive-in theatres (whatever happened to them?
