Grave of the Vampire is a 1972 American vampire film directed by John Hayes, and starring William Smith, Michael Pataki, and Lyn Peters. Its plot follows a vampire who rapes a living woman, resulting in the birth of a child who feeds only on blood. It is based on the novel The Still Life by David Chase.
The film is also known as Seed of Terror (American reissue title).
Plot:
In 1940 California, college student Paul proposes to his girlfriend, Leslie Hollander, in the cemetery where they shared their first kiss. During the proposal, Caleb Croft—a serial rapist and murderer in life, now a vampire—awakens from his crypt. Caleb brutally murders Paul and rapes Leslie. A local lieutenant, Panzer, investigates the crime, and interviews a vagrant named Zack who, in a drunken stupor, discovered Leslie in the cemetery. It is discovered that Croft's tomb is also empty.
Panzer visits a catatonic Leslie in the hospital. When he shows her a mugshot of Croft, she violently recoils. Panzer explains to his peer, Sergeant Duffy, that Croft was a prolific murderer and rapist in Massachusetts, who was electrocuted to death in the Boston Subway while attempting to flee from police. To prevent locals from vandalizing his grave, his body was shipped to California and entombed there. Meanwhile, Croft, now wandering through the town, enters the home of a local housewife, luring her into the basement where he kills her with a felling axe before feeding on her blood. Before Leslie is discharged from the hospital, her doctor informs her she is pregnant, but that the fetus appears abnormal. Leslie believes the child to be Paul's, but her doctor insists she get an abortion, which she adamantly refuses. While Leslie returns home, Panzer visits the cemetery to investigate Croft's tomb, but is killed by the vampire in the process.
Some months later, Leslie—orphaned by her parents—gives birth to her son. Her housekeeper, Olga, urges Leslie to contact the town doctor, as the infant is pallid and will not take milk. Eventually, Leslie soon finds that the newborn gains strength by consuming blood. Leslie begins drawing her own blood into syringes and filling bottles to feed the baby, whom she names James.
