[edit] Plot summary

Still: note the typical early-1970s psychedelic printed fabric used for the vampire woman’s blouse, and her already rather dated miniskirt

Two students, Elvira and her friend Genevieve, go searching for the tomb of medieval murderess (and possible vampire) Countess Wandessa. They find a possible site in the castle of Count Waldemar Daninsky, who invites them to stay for as long as they like. When he shows them the tomb of the countess, Elvira accidentally revives her.
