FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD 1968 (MILL CREEK)

One of my all time favorite Euro horror films stars Anita Ekberg as a young woman who inherits a castle inhabited by vampires. The plot is simple and there are a few comedic moments thrown in for good measure from director Amando De Ossorio.
Seeing Ekberg in this film always makes it a very odd experience, but she looks good as do all the women in this film.
The images that always stick in my mind is when gorgeous Diana Lorys slinks out of her coffin in a very sexy outfit that shows the most of her legs and ample bosom while three men look on in horror, also the funny bit where a very sexy vampire named Glinka, played by Adriana Ambesi walks by a couple of men seated at a table and one says "wow what a gorgeous women. look at that figure!" and a doctor says "Can't you see she's a walking corpse?"
Also on hand are leading man Gianni Medici as Piero who is Ekbergs fiancee and the always lovely Rosanna Yanni as a sexy barmaid that is great in the interesting twist ending.
I simply love the way this films looks and plays out, although the dubbing is sometimes annoying. Available from many companies, I Highly Recommend this fun horror film.
