This vampire film was a spin-off from a popular TV series. Jonathan Frid plays the civilised vampire Barnabas Collins who spots a lookalike for his intended eighteenth century bride working for his distant ( more than they realise ) rich relatives in America. Dr Hoffman ( Grayson Hall ) thinks she can cure him but her own jealousy betrays her. This has some good ideas but it's hard to care much about the victims from such an over-privileged set.
