El Vampiro The Vampire & El Ataud del Vampiro The Vampire's Coffin - 2 Disc 2006 Horror Movie Review

The Greatest Mexican Vampire Film Classics, Together in a Special 2-Disc Set

The Vampireaka:El Vampiro
Described as “Dracula on a hacienda,” The Vampire chronicles the journey of young Marta (Ariadna Welter) who learns that her family is under the demonic control of Count Luvad (Germán Robles).  As he feeds on the blood of the locals and aims to raise his brother from the dead, Marta and the mysterious Dr. Enrique (Abel Salazar) threaten the Count. The wrath of The Vampire then reigns down upon them, and an all-time horror classic plays out with unforgettable eeriness and excitement.

The Vampire’s Coffinaka:El Ataúd del Vampiro
You can’t keep a wicked bloodsucker down, as proven in The Vampire’s Coffin, the follow-up to The Vampire.  Marta (Ariadna Welter) and Dr. Enrique (Abel Salazar) battle Count Luvad (Germán Robles) anew, after he has turned the grave-robbers who accidentally resurrected him into zombie servants. Bent on vengeance and clamoring for the blood of beautiful women, Count Luvad proves to be one of horror’s most indelible villains, and The Vampire’s Coffin is a spooky, thrilling classic every bit on par with its renowned predecessor.
