Synopsis:

Roman Polanski co-wrote, directed and stars in this classic send-up of the vampire genre, available here for the first time on home video, uncut and uncensored.

When Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran) and his inept assistant Alfred (Roman Polanski) travel to Transylvania to destroy vampires, they get more than they bargained for. Stopping at an inn, they encounter the beautiful Sarah (Sharon Tate), who is subsequently kidnapped by a vampire while bathing. The Professor and Alfred discover the vampire’s castle and attempt to rescue Sarah, but can they outsmart the bloodsuckers long enough to escape immortality?

Originally released in the United States with 20 minutes edited out, you can see it here in its entirety, the way its fearless creator, Polanski, intended.
