The Fearless Vampire Killers or "Pardon Me : But Your Teeth Are In My Neck" also known as "Dance Of The Vampires (1967) - one of my all time favourites... funny and at times pretty bloody frikkening too!
The old bat researcher, professor Abronsius and his assistant, Alfred, go to a remote Transylvanian village looking for vampires. Alfred falls in love with the inn-keeper's young daughter Sarah. However, she has been spotted by the mysterious count Krolock who lives in a dark and creepy castle outside the village...
Roman Polanski's finest fillum which he stars in along with Jack McGowran, Sharon Tate, Alfie Bass, Ferdie Mayne etc. etc.
My favourite bit...
Professor: "Is there a castle here?"
Shagal: "On the word of Yoni.. there's no more a castle here than... a windmill! Does anyone know of a windmill in the district?"
[Pause]
Village idiot: "Yes there's a castle... ummph!"
[other villagers supress him]
Brilliant film!
