Marketed by MGM Pictures in 1967, ''The Fearless Vampire Killers'' was a Comedy-Horror Film which garnered some attention. Although made with an Eastern European Cast, The Movie did somewhat well considering the genre. Noted for featuring American Actress and infamous murder victim Sharon Tate, the film pokes fun at Vampire Films up to that date. Dealing with a pair of bungling ''professional'' Vampire Hunters, they attempt to save the life of a beautiful damsel from the horrible Count Krolock. The Count plans to ''make'' Her His Bride at an annual gathering of ''vampires'' at The Count's Castle. This ''Masquerade'' of The Undead leads to the eventual death of The Count and escape – but not before out beautiful Maiden become the ''new'' Queen of The Undead/ Silly – yes, but rather well filmed for atmospheric effects and still a watchable piece of Horror History.
