By the end of the 1960s the boom in Old World gothic horror had begun to wane in the face of present day terrors like the Vietnam War. In response, American filmmakers brought horror out of the past and into the present, and the classic movie monsters packed their bags and headed for the New World.

Count Yorga, Vampire was among the first to successfully transpose the classic vampire, cloak and all, to a modern day setting as the Count-played unforgettably by Robert Quarry-arrives in the United States and settles in a Southern California mansion with his mysterious "brides." A drive-in favorite from the moment it was released, a sequel soon followed. The Return of Count Yorga ups the ante and sees the sardonic Count on the streets of San Francisco, his sights set on an orphanage as a potential source of sustenance.

Director Bob Kelljan (Scream Blacula Scream) delivers a one-two punch of classic cult cinema mixing chills, thrills, style, and suspense with a knowing wit that revels in the genre trappings. Presented in remarkable restorations by Arrow Films from scans of the original camera negative, The Count Yorga Collection is a full-bloodied feast to die for!

Snarky Vampire makes himself at home in 1970s LA

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

A low budget 1970s Count Draculike and its sequel, smartly packaged together with a generous selection of extras. Both films, despite their lack of funds are enormously entertaining, the teams involved clearly enjoyed making them, not least Robert Quarry who appears to be having a ball playing the waspish count. There are some memorable moments of horror and a good dose of humour. A scene in the first film involving the hero having an irritable bedside conversation with his air head girlfriend, and a scene from the second film involving an aging expert in vampires, are genuinely laugh-out-loud, funny. The extras are also superb, including a fascinating chat about the films, by Kim Newman who is probably unequalled in his extensive knowledge of vampires, movies and pop culture. A short film with David Huckvale exploring Bill Marx's sophisticated score, showing how much musicianship goes into scoring even humble productions like Count Yorga.
