GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE 1972 (MILL CREEK)

excellent example of 70's drive in horror as a vampire rises from his tomb and kills a man then proceeds to rape his girlfriend and leave her in a grave while he hides from the coming sunlight. The woman gives birth and soon finds her baby needs blood to survive.
Flash foward many years and the baby has grown into a young man played by Bill Smith, who is actually seeking to destroy his father.
His father is now teaching night classes at a college and is played by Michael Pataki, an excellent actor in his own right. When they finally clash it is one hell of a fight, one of the best I have seen in a movie of this type, and Smith drives a stake into Pataki's heart...but that is not the end, and if you havent seen the movie I won't spoil it.
Top notch horror for Halloween!!
