173 Curse of the Undead ( 1959 )

This  is   an  interesting  attempt  at  combining  a  Western  with  a  vampire  film  but  it  ultimately  fails  through  a  lack  of  scares  and  some  major  plot  holes.

In  a  nineteenth  century  Western  town , young  girls  are  dying  of  blood  loss  but  Dr  Carter  ( John  Hoyt ) and  his  friend, preacher  Dan  ( Eric  Fleming )  are  stumped  as  to  the  cause. Carter  has  another  problem , a  greedy  neighbour  Buffer  ( Bruce  Gordon )  is  trying  to  force  him  off  his  land  and  when  Carter  arrives  home  dead  ( his  horses  having  good  navigational  sense ) Buffer  is  chief  suspect. When  Buffer  reluctantly  kills Carter's  son  in  a  shoot  out, Carter's  daughter   Dolores   hires  a  mysterious  dark  stranger  Drake  Robey  ( Michael  Pate ) to  avenge  her  although  we  know  Robey  is  really  the  killer,  having  apparently decided to  take  a  break  from  virgins  and  snack  on  a  leathery  old  man  instead.
