The Vampire Lovers (Hammer Films 1970)
Ingrid Pitt is one of the most iconic sexy horror actors of all time, and when the subject of hottest female vampires comes up, Ingrid is typically at the top of the list.
While it’s great to see both Countess Dracula (1971) and The Vampire Lovers (1970) get their special Collector’s Edition releases, the latter is without a doubt the superior Ingrid Pitt film. That being said, both of these blu-ray releases show Ingrid in all of her sexy glory!
Based upon Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic tale “Carmilla,” The Vampire Lovers follows our seductive vampire Carmilla Karnstein (Ingrid Pitt) and her family as they target the beautiful and the rich in a remote area of late eighteenth-century Gemany.
