Review of Count Yorga, Vampire (1970) by Peter C — 07 Feb 2010

CLASSIC SATURDAY AFTERNOON HORROR MOVIE FROM CREATURE DOUBLE FEATURE that used to air here in PHILADELPHIA from 1973 to 1982.

COUNT YORGA is an AWESOME VAMPIRE MOVIE (for its time of in 1970) and Robert Quarry as COUNT YORGA is one of the BEST VAMPIRE counts of the 1970s.

ROGER PERRY plays DR. HAYES.

For decades only a cut version of COUNT YORGA was available yet the DVD (and earlier, the cable-tv station CIINEMAX) uses an uncut print of COUNT YORGA entiled "THE LOVES OF COUNT IORGA".

In the aforementioned uncut print, there's more dialog and a longer scene of the dead kitten.

Come to think of it, RETURN OF COUNT YORGA has more scenes and dialog as well.

Thank God for DVD and BLURAY (and CINEMAX and LASERDISC)--.

All the great movies that were cut over the years are now available in extended versions; for better or for worse sometimes: sometimes the cut-version is better (like LIFEFORCE-the 90 minute version is better than the 121 minute version).

FOLLOWED BY RETURN OF COUNT YORGA.

And.

DEATHMASTER (where ROBERT QUARRY PLAYS KHORDA).

YORGA spelled backwards is "GORY" with an extra 'A'.
