Overview

When a storm leaves five showgirls, their pianist, and an inept manager stranded, they take shelter in a foreboding European castle. The castle’s unsettling owner, Count Gabor, is not simply a reclusive aristocrat—his home conceals a secret laboratory in the basement and is haunted by the presence of a vampire. As the dancers explore their peculiar refuge, it becomes clear they are not just guests but potential prey, especially Vera, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the vampire’s long-dead wife. With gothic trappings and a dash of cheesecake, this Italian horror film blends atmospheric chills with a dose of risqué showbiz.
