If you qualify Black Sabbath as a Vampire film rather than a witch film you have to consider it a top contender. Bava's vampire, escaping the grave against a full glorious black and white gothic backdrop is a sight to see. I have to admit, as a kid it was difficult not to cover my eyes when the headstone falls over or when Barbara Steele meets her fate, iron maiden style.. Executioners, morbid bats in old Russian cemeteries and truly frightening vampires. Excellent stuff!
Check out Dr. Gangrene's #3
