Poster of The Playgirls and the Vampire

5 playgirls walked innocently into his arms… only to meet the devil in the flesh!

The Playgirls and the Vampire (1960) follows a traveling dance troupe stranded at a remote castle during a storm. Their stay takes a sinister turn when they encounter the mysterious count who harbors a dark family curse and a thirst for blood. Mixing gothic atmosphere with risqué allure, the film blends traditional vampire tropes with titillating exploitation elements.
