In 1971 I was 7 years old and did not see the original release of The Return of Count Yorga, Vampire. But, through the magic of Cable TV, I was able to catch a rebroadcast of this vampire movie. Over the years, it has become one of my favorite vampire movies...
The Return of Count Yorga (originally titled Yorga Returns) is a 1971 American vampire horror film directed by Bob Kelljan and starring Robert Quarry, Roger Perry, Yvonne Wilder, George Macready in his final film role before his death in 1973, Rudy De Luca, Edward Walsh, and Craig T. Nelson in his feature film debut. It is the sequel to the 1970 film Count Yorga, Vampire.
The story features Quarry returning as the infamous vampire Count Yorga, along with his servant Brudah, both of whom have been revived by the supernatural Santa Ana winds. Actor Roger Perry, who had a lead role in the first film, appears again but as a different character.
In one scene, Yorga is seen watching a Spanish-language version of The Vampire Lovers on his television.
The film was released theatrically in the US by American International Pictures in 1971.
