Playgirls and the Vampires
(Piero Regnoli)
a.k.a: L'Ultima Preda del Vampiro, The Last Prey of the Vampire, Daughters of the Vampire.
"The presence of Maria Giovannini as a naked vampire is startling” - www.imagesjournal.com
Playgirls and the Vampire was made as an Italian cash-in on the success of Hammer's Horror of Dracula and being Italian the emphasis was placed on sex. Playgirls centres on five strippers who take shelter in a dark, gothic castle. One of their number, whilst wandering around naked in the middle of the night, is then bitten by the resident castle's vampire and she soon grows fangs the size of baseball bats and starts developing a taste for her blood filled sisters.
Whilst Playgirls and the Vampires may not have the most original plot in the world it is full of dark and very striking gothic imagery and a number of vampyric women whose sensual menace and surreal eroticism were to influence and be apparent in the later vampire films of Jean Rollin.
