218 The Kiss of the Vampire (1963 )

This  was  the  second  Hammer  vampire  film  without  Christopher  Lee  and  this  one  didn't  have  Peter  Cushing  either. Cushing  had  vetoed  the  original  black  magic  resolution  to  The  Brides  of  Dracula  so  it  was  re-cycled  here  to  provide  an  exciting  climax  to  an  otherwise  rather  routine  adventure.

Gerald  Harcourt  ( Edward  de  Souza )  and  his  new  wife  Marianne  arrive  at  an  inn in  Bavaria  but  are  immediately  befriended  by  suave  Count  Ravna  ( Noel  Willman )  and  his  family. However  Ravna  has  designs  on  Marianne's  neck  and  Gerald  has  to  team  up  with  mad  occultist  Professor  Zimmer  ( Clifford  Evans )  to  save  her.
