BLURAY: THE HORRIBLE SEXY VAMPIRE AKA EL VAMPIRO DE LA AUTOPISTA
Mondo Macabro is releasing THE HORRIBLE SEXY VAMPIRE (1971) on BlueRay on June 30. This movie known as El vampire de la autopista tells the story of some sadist, no human, who is murdering people. A doctor is convinced that the killings are the evil workings of a reclusive odd baron who died many years ago.
A series of murders are being committed. Both men and women are victims of a mysterious assassin. The police think it is the work of a serial killer. The coroner is not sure it is so simple. He has been studying the case and has discovered that for nearly a hundred years in the same district people have been killed in the same way and according to a very distinct time pattern.
To the astonishment of the investigating officer, the coroner says he believes the killings to be the work of a supernatural creature – a vampire.
Soon a stranger arrives in the area, claiming to be the sole descendent of the long-dead baron who was believed to be a vampire. He accompanies the police into the burial vaults of the ancient castle, where a dreadful sight awaits them.
Something of a holy grail for fans of European horror cinema, and notorious for its frequent scenes of nudity, the film has been unavailable for many years. This is a world premiere Blu-ray release. Filmed in Germany in the snowy winter of 1969, the film has a unique and morbid atmosphere and features an astonishing performance from Jess Franco favorite Wal Davis as both vampire and victim.
