Amazon.com essential video:
One of Roman Polanski's more overt comedies, this 1966 monster spectacle stars Jack MacGowran and Polanski as a clunky but heroic pair of vampire killers. Called upon to rescue the beautiful and buxom daughter (Sharon Tate) of an innkeeper from a Draculalike bloodsucker, the duo muddle through all sorts of scrapes, the most intense being a scene in which a room full of dancing vampires realize the human interlopers are the only ones in the room who are reflected in a mirror. Scary and funny, the film has some unforgettable set pieces, a terrific score, one of the few records of Tate's extraordinary beauty, and vibrant performances. Not exactly Polanski in a relaxed mode, but clear evidence of his estimable skills as a director of both brilliance and polish. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Funny
One of the overlooked things about most of the vintage 1960s and 1970s Hammer Studios horror films is that they were quite funny, often in an unintentional way. Yes, Christopher Lee had a certain charm, but is it not true that he was also far more grandly silly than scary? Looking back on those films, they certainly do not hold up as well as even the Universal Bela Lugosi takes on the genre, much less superior vampire films like the silent F.W. Murnau classic Nosferatu, Carl Dreyer's Vampyr, nor ... Read More
Rating:  - Ummm. Well, it was great 40 years ago
This is a flick I remember seeing at the local drive-in as the 4th feature of a monthly horror night. By the time it was shown, our packed car was sound asleep, except for me, but it was definitely worth staying awake. I thought this was the funniest and weirdest movie around, and probably the only comedy-horror-adventure movie featuring two gorgious women and dozens of very, very stupid jokes. I've been looking for it on VHS and DVD for several decades now, so I plunked down my $15 without even thinking ... Read More
Rating: - love this kind of movie
I purchased this movie because I,ve seen it before. Love those old campy B Movies.
Rating:  - Great!
This product arrived very quickly to the location that I had it shipped to! This was a gift to my dad and he was really excited to get it because you can't find this movie anywhere! Thank you Amazon for always having what I need available!
Rating: - Great castles and good old fashioned fun
This vampire comedy is akin to a Hammer Horror production with more goofs than ghouls. If you like Hammer Horror, or the works of Polanksi, then you may want to investigate this production but it doesn't take itself seriously. The other interesting reason to watch this is that Sharon Tate, Polanski's late wife (who was murdered by the Manson's followers) stars in it.
The film has a number of titles, the most popular of which is the European title, Dance of the Vampires. The USA title of The Fearless ... Read More
