And another title that will be released as a Mediabook by Wicked Vision: VAMPIRA.

This movie from 1974 by british Director Clive Donner stars David Niven as Dracula and Teresa Graves as his countess Vampira. Dracula is already old and forced to host tours in his castle to get new victims. Moreover he misses his his long-lost love, Vampira, which is why he sets out to collect blood from Playboy Playmates who he offers to live at his castle. However, when reviving Vampira, there is a surprise he didn't see coming....


When marketed to the USA shortly after the successful YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, the distributers decided to rename this movie to OLD DRACULA as a spoof, and to cash in on its success. Consequentially, in the USA this movie was often shown as double feature together with YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. However it could not keep up with Mel Brooks black and white spoof movie, and therefore got rather bad critics. Especially during it's release people could not make heads or tails with it: As a British horror movie people expected something like Hammer, as a British comedy, they'd expect typical British comedy. Instead, VAMPIRA delivers a merger between British Horror and Comedy, with Blaxploitation and Playgirls, giving it a more modern feeling of the mid 70s. Some say this would have better been shown in a double-feature with BLACULA rather than with a Mel Brooks movie.

Wicked days they cannot yet tell anything concerning the bonuses this will be equipped with, only that they'll plan to release it end of 2021. Until then, here's the trailer:
