An enjoyable follow up.

The Santa Ana winds howl, signalling the return of Count Yorga, who had previously been killed, The Count has a penchant for Orphans from the local orphanage, and becomes very drawn to beautiful teacher,

I haven't seen the original film for years, but I remember it fondly, and have always regarded it as one of my favourite classic horrors, this is a very worthy follow up. It's definitely a little bit cheesy at times, but if like me you're a fan of seventies horror, you'll enjoy it.

Robert Quarry is excellent as Yorga once again, his eyes were wonderfully deadpan throughout the film, but there's no denying he had a real elegance and presence.

Great scenes of San Francisco in the early 1970's, I bet that was one awesome place to be.

Some of the makeup is a little questionable as you'd perhaps expect, but surely that can be forgiven, I don't think any expectations of greatness were made when they produced this film, but overall it does the job.

Worth seeing, 7/10.

A satisfying sequel to the excellent original

The ever-suave and charismatic Bulgarian vampire Count Yorga (the wonderful Robert Quarry in peak sardonic and sinister form) returns to continue his campaign of terror at a nearby orphanage. Ably directed by Robert Kelljan (who also co-wrote the clever script), with slick, vibrant cinematography by Bill Butler and an eerie, shivery score by Bill Marx, this sequel to the immensely enjoyable original is in some ways even better: the production values are more polished, the pace much snappier, there's a greater atmosphere of skin-crawling dread, an amusingly dry sense of spot-on sarcastic humor, several well-mounted shock set pieces (a sequence with a whole family getting slaughtered by a horde of vicious vampire women is positively harrowing), and a stirring conclusion complete with a jolting surprise bummer ending. Quarry truly excels in the lead role as Yorga; he receives fine support from the ravishing Mariette Hartley as sweet, sympathetic heroine Cynthia Nelson, Roger Perry as intrepid psychiatrist Dr. David Baldwin, Yvonne Wilder as fragile deaf mute Jennifer, Edward Walsh as Yorga's hulking, fearsome manservant Brudah, Tom Toner as hearty priest Reverand Thomas, Rudy De Luca as the skeptical Lieutenant Madden, Craig T. Nelson as the gallant Sergeant O'Connor, Philip Frame as bratty little boy Tommy, and a bearded Michael Pataki as hipster Joe. A solid and worthwhile horror bloodsucker romp.

Eerie winds, nasty sandpits and sinister vampires!

It's been like a decade or so since I watched the original "Count Yorga, Vampire", and in all honesty I don't remember too much about the plot. What I do recall, however, and quite vividly even, is that the film benefited from a particularly sinister and hypnotizing atmosphere that made it creepy even though not a whole lot was happening. The titular character is quite unique and intriguing as well. Even though he's a vampire count dressed in a typical black and red cloak and surrounded by a coven of white-faced vampire brides, Yorga isn't anything like the legendary Count Vlad Dracula. "The Return of Count Yorga" is a very entertaining and reasonably well-made horror sequel with a very straightforward but solid plot, engaging performances from the ensemble cast and – most of all – many moments of truly tense and unsettling horror! Seriously, I was pleasantly surprised to see that a handful of sequences were genuinely macabre and dark! Early in the beginning, for instance, a little boy drives his bike through the woods and suddenly the brides start emerging from the dirt, guided by the sound of eerie winds. This is quite a scary sight even for experienced genre fanatics. There are many more frightening parts, including the disposal of corpses in sandpits and the crude and relentless butchering of an entire happy family. Count Yorga takes an interest in a beautiful blond teacher who works as a volunteer in a remote orphanage. He does what every avid romanticist would do, namely murder her entire family and take her back to his castle. Yorga tells her that her loved ones died in a horrible car accident and assumes that she will gradually fall for his charms, but he didn't take into account that she also had a boyfriend and he's not planning to let her go that easily. There are few fascinating supportive characters, notably the residents of the orphanage like the deaf-mute girl and the strange boy who appears to be under Yorga's spell, and there's even room for comic relief as well. The count watches Hammer vampire movies on TV and reacts slightly offended when not he but another guy dressed as a vampire wins the price for most original costume at a dress-up party. In case you're a fan of cinematic bloodsuckers, but need a change from the average Dracula adaptation or the Twilight fairies (God forbid…), then I wholeheartedly recommend getting acquainted with Robert Quarry and his vile alter ego Count Yorga!
