Story Synopsis:
Kiss Of The Vampire is a 19th century story about a British newlywed couple (De Souza & Daniel) who get stranded in a remote part of the Bavarian forest and seek shelter with the mysterious Dr. Ravna (Willman), lord of the local castle. Soon the young couple find themselves in a terrifying lair of ritualistic vampires from which there may be no escape. Their only hope is Professor Zimmer (Evans) who calls upon an ancient ritual in a desperate attempt to destroy the vampires and free them from Ravna’s power. Another classic from Britain’s famed Hammer Film Studio.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.85:1 matted picture is sharp and detailed with natural fleshtones and vibrant colors. Blacks are deep and solid and shadow detail is good, but with some noise artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is mono.
