Synopsis

Elvira continues her late-night horror tradition with the MOVIE MACABRE series, which finds the buxom Mistress of the Dark hosting a selection of campy horror classics. This volume presents a double feature of flicks: in COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE (1972), a group of comely young women seek refuge in a castle on a rainy night, only to find themselves in the lair of a vampire king with a lust for female blood; and in FRANKENSTEIN'S CASTLE OF FREAKS (1974), libidinous dwarves and scantily clad lovelies figure into a story about a mad scientist who resurrects a Neanderthal caveman.
