Made in 1960, Piero Regnoli´s "The Playgirls and the Vampire" is one of the earliest Italian horror films. After skipping out on an unpaid hotel bill, a busload of curvaceous showgirls is forced off the road by a thunderstorm. They prevail on the hospitality of a nearby castle, where the reclusive Count Kernassy nearly orders them away until he sees Vera, a leggy dancer who´s a dead ringer for his beautiful ancestor Margherita! Unfortunately, Vera is also attractive to the Count´s 200 year old, bloodthirsty ancestor who´s a dead ringer for his descendant!
