The Vampire’s Coffin (1958) (Mexico)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Sequel from the same team behind El Vampiro sees Count Lavud (a returning Germán Robles) unwittingly resurrected by a greedy grave robber and embarking on a quest of revenge against our two likable heroes from the previous entry. A colleague of Dr. Enrique (Abel Salazar, also returning), fascinated by the vampire lore, looks to unlock the vampires biological secrets but instead unleashes the evil count on the medical center where he works. Unluckily, Marta (the beautiful Ariadna Welter reprising her role) is at the same medical center recovering from her traumatic encounter with Lavud. On top of the returning cast and bats on strings, we get a creepy wax museum, a climactic battle between man and bat, some awkward dance numbers and an elderly woman killed by an iron maiden. Not on par with the excellent original, The Vampire’s Coffin is still a fun time.
