Slaughter of the Vampires (1962)

[bunniefuu]

After them!

-- You can't escape us now!

We'll destroy all of
you once and for all!

-- You won't escape
us this time!

We'll k*ll all of you.

-- We must destroy
those monsters!

-- We'll catch you this time!

We'll get you both.

-- Let's get them!

After them!

-- k*ll them, k*ll them!

You can't escape us now!

We'll destroy all of
you once and for all!

They can't have disappeared.

They can't have disappeared.

No, they're not here.

It's just as well
for them they're not.

Poor things,

the deaths of those girls
must be avenged tonight.

We'll k*ll those monsters.

Well, we've got
to try and find them,

they mustn't escape.

Come on, let's go.

See anything?
-- Where are they?

We've got to find them.

They're hiding,
we've got to find them.

Anything yet?

I saw him with my own eyes,

he was running
away with a woman,

then he disappeared.

If all goes well
for us this time,

they won't be able to
get away from us tonight.

If I find them,

I'll stab them
with this pitchfork,

mark my words.

I'll make him pay
for k*lling my sister.

It's the only way

to destroy these
monsters forever.

Let's go over here,

I saw something move.

See anything?
-- No.

They must be over there.

We'd better try to
make a break for it,

otherwise they're
sure to catch us.

Anything yet?

Bring that torch over here.

Maybe they're in here.

-- Look, there they are,
they're getting away!

[Scream]

[Screaming]

You m*rder*d my child.

[Screaming]

You'll never
k*ll anyone again!

[Screaming]

Faster! Make it faster!

I must reach the grounds of
the castle before daybreak.

I risk wrecking
this whole carriage

and destroying these horses.

I will give you gold

to get a completely
new carriage

and a new team of horses.

You must try harder,
my life may be at stake.

I'll try, but at your expense.

h*! h*!

We made it in time.

Daybreak is not far away.

Move now, give me a hand here.

All right, all right.

It's true, what I've heard,

that all madmen are
not locked in a madhouse.

Now Beauty, come on.

It's home now.

Hup, h*!

[Music playing]

Louise.

I'm so delighted
you were able to come.

We couldn't miss this, dear.

It was a perfectly
marvelous idea of yours

to spend some time
in this wonderful castle.

How romantic
it all is, Louise,

you are so fortunate.

Wolfgang.

Romantic, ah yes, but
only I know what it took

to make it become
what it is tonight.

You should've seen what
state it was reduced to,

the house was covered
with cobwebs and dust.

I'll admit my first
impression was discouraging,

but then I heard
a voice calling me.

A strange sensation,

the voice was
saying, stay here.

The voice you
heard was mine, dear.

This place pleased me at once

and I'm so glad you like it.

I really do,
I think it's beautiful.

Well, Louise and I

are honored that
you are here tonight.

It's marvelous.

Thank you.

These are for you, Louise.

Thank you, Razie.

I hope you like them.

Thank you.

And thank you, Corrine.

You've met my
governess, haven't you?

And this pretty little girl
is the gardener's daughter.

You may stay if you want to.

Thank you.

Excuse me, I must
attend to a few things.

My governess, Corrine,

is also a very
good friend of mine.

And now Louise
must play for us.

I'd love to.

Come now, let's go
and hear my wife play.

[Playing Piano]

Herman, here please.

You wanted me, sir?

I want a bottle
of the best claret

from the wine cellar.

[Cat]
Meow

You were really
marvelous, dear.

Bravo, Louise.

A composition worthy
of a great master.

What gave you
your inspiration?

It was this house,

the atmosphere of the park.

Excuse me, Wolfgang,

I'm feeling a bit dizzy.

My brain's swimming.

Since it's our party,

surely we ought to
open the ball together.

They will understand, my dear.

Later.

Please excuse us.
-- But you must dance, please.

Why don't you come
and sit down, Louise?

I won't be gone long.

He's a strange type.

Do you happen to
know him, Marquesa?

No, Wolfgang,

perhaps he's
a friend of Count Hellman.

May I have the honor?

Well, I'm not...

They make a splendid
couple, don't they?

What were you
saying, Marquesa?

Aren't you jealous, Wolfgang?

Of course not.

I think he's fascinating.

Personally,
I'd say he's sinister.

Very much so.

Well, what's your opinion?

I do wish he'd chosen
me instead of Louise.

You're chattering away
like silly schoolchildren,

but who is he?

I'm feeling faint.

Oh.

What's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing.

You must all go
on with the party.

I've had a bit too
much excitement.

I'll go to my
bedroom for a moment,

please dance and
enjoy yourselves.

Wolfgang will remain with you.

I'll come with you.

Excuse me.

Tell us, Wolfgang,
how is Louise?

Poor thing.

These last few days she was
so worried about the party

she tired herself too much.

Could there be a little
stranger on the way?

It'll be such a pleasure
for everyone at the party.

We do want to know the truth,

please tell us.

We're friends,

we won't say a word.

Now, you must tell all of us.

Ah, I thought I guessed
your little secret.

Splendid, magnificent.

But she might have
informed us all,

that pretty little
wife of yours.

Maybe I could help her.

I have been
a mother myself, you know.

No, Marquesa,
I think it is simply this,

that after all this
work about the house

she is just extremely tired.

And now, if you'll excuse me,

I must go to see
the rest of my guests.

I do not want to
offend any of my friends.

How presumptuous he is.

We were not like that
in my young days.

They think they know
about all these things.

They are foolish

and they lack respect.

Have you noticed how she
let herself be embraced

by that stranger
while dancing?

By the way,

were you able to find
out where he comes from?

He must be from abroad

because no one
knows who he is.

The important thing is that
Louise knows him intimately,

I think.

I've no doubt
my hunch is right.

Did you see how
fast he went away

with the arrival of Wolfgang?

A strategic retreat.

Oh, I'd be very
interested to know

where she could be found now

and with whom.

Go away, please.

What are you doing here?

No, what do you want of me?

Leave this instant.

Go away.

Go away.

Oh.

Let me go.

You're so cold
you make me shudder.

Who are you?

Why have you come here?

Don't ever go away.

[Knock on door]

Louise, open the door.

Is something wrong, sir?

My wife won't answer.

Louise, open the door!

-- Madam, are you all right?

Open the door for us.

I'm sorry, I'd fallen asleep.

I confess that for one
moment there I was worried.

You are so pale,

are you sure you're
not feeling badly?

No, I was only
trying to rest a little.

I'm just a bit tired, I think.

Tomorrow I'll be all right.

It's best that you
stay in bed tonight,

I feel very guilty for
having disturbed you.

But our friends
are waiting for us.

Don't worry,
I'll explain to them.

If you need me at all,
please call me.

All right.

Now, sleep well.

You need to get
a good night's rest.

''It was dusk when
the two travelers

finally arrived
at the lakeshore

and black storm clouds
were gathering in the sky.

The boat they had expected
was moored to a post

and the ferrymen were
standing beside it

waiting for them.

He was wearing
a long, dark cloak

with a hood which
covered his head

and muffled his voice,

making his words indistinct.

Bertram paid and he told
the boatman to leave.

Before they were
halfway across

the storm broke
in its full fury,

lightening flashed in the sky

and thunder rolled,

the boat heaved and lurched

and the passengers were
flung from side to side.

Bertram left the
frightened girl,

moved to the ferryman's side

and asked if they shouldn't
turn the small vessel back.

Suddenly, the lightening
revealed his features

and he found himself
staring into the face

of his bitterest foe.''

That's enough
reading for this morning,

it's time for lunch.

Come on, Louise,

let's go and eat now.

You are very thoughtful,

but I'm not hungry.

Madam, please.

You must eat.

I don't want to.

Now,

Louise, you had better eat
a little something, my dear.

You'll eat for me.

That's a good girl.

I'm very proud of you.

Why, my dear,

that's more like it.

The more you eat,

the prettier you'll both grow.

Corrine.

Corrine.

The doctor has arrived.

You may tell the doctor

that the Count will
wait for him here

in the garden.

Very well.

Razie, I want you
to be a good girl.

You see, she
promised she would.

You're sweet.

Count, the doctor has arrived.

Ah yes, he's an old school
friend of mine, Dr. Hant.

It will be a good opportunity

to speak of Madam's illness.

Yes, yes, that's a good idea.

We'll ask his advice.

And you, Razie,

you aren't afraid of
the doctor, are you?

You're a big girl now.

He's a good friend.

Ah,

here he is now.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

No, far from it, doctor.

Please sit down.

May we offer you
something to eat or drink?

Please, doctor.

Nothing, thank you.

As you wish.

Have you been ill recently?

No.

You're looking
a bit pale, I think.

May I feel your pulse, please?

Thank you.

Your pulse is weak, you know.

Let me ask you,

have you suffered
from anemia at all?

No, doctor,
not that I'm aware of.

But you've no sign of fever.

There's nothing
the matter with me.

Well, what do
you think, doctor?

I don't know.

Judging from the symptoms

I would say she was anemic,

as I said.

But she's always
been so healthy.

In any case,

I can't give a diagnosis now.

Well,

I shall come and pay her
another visit tomorrow

and maybe then

I shall be able
to be more precise.

Now, don't alarm her.

Let her have plenty of rest

and above all

let her eat good meals.

Yes, of course.

We better go back now,
she might get suspicious.

Yes, perhaps we'd better.

Doctor.

I knew that you
would come to me.

I knew you were calling me.

Where are you?

I can't see you.

Who can you be to have this
mysterious power over me?

Who can you be

that you poisoned all
the love I bore my husband

and made me become your sl*ve?

Show yourself to me.

Where are you hiding?

This black night
makes me fear you.

The night is my element,

it cannot frighten me.

You, too, will
yearn for the dark

for in you the
light of the stars

is transformed into a
being of flesh and blood

and what the
night sky has lost

I now see standing before me,

more beautiful than
a thousand stars.

All this I see in you.

But I don't see such
great beauty in me.

Your mirror cannot show it,

it only diminishes you,

it cannot possibly
do you justice.

The reflection you see there

bears no resemblance

to the reality.

Ah, could you but see yourself
as you are in my heart,

you might then
see your real self.

In my heart you are not the
woman that you think you are,

you are a part of
a greater mystery.

Tell me who you are

and what you want.

I come from the past,

I exist in the present

Goodbye.

Medical science can't
be of any further use,

she has no obvious malady

but she might be dying.

Listen to me, Wolfgang,

there's only one
chance of saving her.

Take your carriage
and leave immediately,

go to Vienna,

ask for Professor Nietzsche,

he could help her.

I confess I'm beaten.

It's a bitter blow

after all these
long years as a doctor

to have to admit I'm defeated.

Go now, don't
waste any more time.

Goodbye, Wolfgang.

He said that you
will soon be better,

Louise, dearest,
I have to go to Vienna.

Tell the coachman
to prepare the carriage.

I must go and buy
your new medicine

and tomorrow
you'll feel better.

I can't wait until then.

I know it, Wolfgang.

See the sun there
at the window?

My flesh is yearning to
feel the heat of its rays.

Wolfgang, do help me.

Please, I must have sun.

I beg you, Wolfgang.

Yes, of course, my dearest.

I must go now.

I shall certainly
return before nightfall.

[Knocking on door]

Dr. Nietzsche?

He's not here.

What do you want?

I must see the
doctor urgently.

Oh no, he's busy on
a call, I've got my work...

Please, wait a minute.

Can you tell me
if he'll be back?

I wouldn't know, sir,

it really all depends.

He's only gone
to a nearby town.

They say there are strange
creatures near here

but I don't think so.

They say such silly
things these days.

Yes, certainly you're right,

but may I come in and wait?

You might have said so before
that you wanted to wait.

Of course,
you may, do come in.

As Dr. Nietzsche is
always telling me,

if anyone wants us
they must wait for us.

Won't you come this way?

I'll show you to his study.

No, thank you.

I prefer to wait here.

As you wish.

Dr. Nietzsche
also prefers it here

when he has
a moment to himself.

Will you excuse me, sir?

I'm so sorry
I kept you waiting.

Make yourself comfortable.

Cigar?

No, thank you.

What can I do for you?

Dr. Hant sent me to you.

Dr. Hant?

Oh yes, I remember him.

He says that you're
the last hope I have.

My poor wife, she's dying.

He's at a loss

because although she's in
a state of extreme depression,

he cannot explain
the origin of her malady.

My only chance of
saving her lies with you.

I cannot do miracles,

I can only do my best.

Well, now then,

are there any obvious
symptoms you've observed?

Please forgive me,

I'd rather talk
in the carriage.

She may now be
weaker and even be...

Now don't despair,

I'll get my bag.

I'll be right back.

Are you sure of all this?

What do you mean?

Everything you just told me
about your wife's behavior.

You haven't omitted anything?

No, why should
I hide anything?

Never mind.

The symptoms are
pretty clear, I'm afraid.

I don't want to frighten you,

but your wife's threatened
by great dangers,

there's not a single
second to be lost.

I'm afraid you're right,

she seemed to be
growing weaker every day.

That is why I have
come to you, Dr. Nietzsche.

I put myself in your hands.

Dr. Hant recommended me to you

because you're the only person

who can cure my poor wife.

I will do everything
in my power.

There is an evil I have
been fighting for years,

many years,

and I shall have no peace

until I have
utterly destroyed it.

Otherwise, I shall
have to leave to others

the task of
completing my work.

You'll have to
have great courage

and above all you will have
to follow all my instructions,

although they may
seem to you unusual.

There is not only
a physical evil,

to science must be
added the power of faith.

The most important thing is

to isolate the
patient completely,

nobody must come near her.

We mustn't trust a soul.

Is there any cure
that can work, Doctor?

Yes, there is,

and there's one important
thing I must explain.

It is vital when
treating these diseases

to attack the
cause of the illness,

but in your wife's case

that cause must be
destroyed completely.

They are very cunning

and they have
perfected through the ages

the art of deceit.

One should be prepared
for anything from them

to have any chance of victory.

Who are they?

The vampires.

The vampires?

Poor Wolfgang has returned.

Who'll have the courage
to tell him the truth?

We'd better go down

and tell him the news.

How's my wife feeling now?

What has happened, tell me.

Louise.

We both discovered her
in front of the window

with her eyes looking
out at the moonlight.

She seemed so peaceful.

[Crying]

No, Corrine,

it's better to leave
him alone for a while.

It will be necessary
to call a priest.

Will you see to it?

And your wife might
take Razie home,

it's better, I think.

What a tragedy.

Poor, dear lady.

Wolfgang,

you will need
all your courage.

I know it's been
a terrible shock.

She's gone, what's happened?

Quickly, follow me.

Where to?

To the park,
they've taken her away.

We must hurry.

She's disappeared, Corrine.

Disappeared?

But that's impossible.

Go to your room at once,

close the windows
and don't move.

There is no doubt about it,

it's exactly as I feared.

Now, I think it's
best to separate,

but if you see
anything, call me.

I felt that I was
in your presence

even though I never
heard you arrive.

I know.

I, too, am always
close to you,

even when you are far away.

I can feel your breathing
when you are sleeping

and when you're waking.

I can feel the blood

throbbing in your veins.

What has made me want you?

I don't fear your power.

You've no need to fear.

I know that now.

You only fear the dark

when you're not used to it,

but why have you
returned to me?

It's the day that begins
now to make me afraid.

My thoughts tried in vein

to stay interested
in the things

which made me love life,

the joy of living a new day.

All this seems
to have vanished,

it has no meaning.

Before long all that
will be only a memory.

Louise.

Louise.

Louise, darling.

Oh, hold me tight.

Louise, dearest.

I need your warmth so much.

You're alive,

I thought I would
never see you again.

Thank God for that.

I've suffered so much
these last few hours.

I felt as if life had
separated us forever.

It was more than I could bear.

I believed death was
preferable to life

without you, Louise darling,

don't ever leave me.

Let's go back to the castle,

they're looking for us.

Oh, please wait
a moment, dear.

Oh,

Louise.

What have you done to me?

What are you doing?

Louise!

Come here.

Quick,

you will need a blood
transfusion right away.

There you are,

that'll be all right now.

Keep your arm
bent for a while.

As for you,

you better eat a big steak

and drink a good
glass of beer.

Listen to me, Wolfgang.

It is necessary,
first of all,

to discover where
Louise's body is hidden

and this must be
done before daybreak.

I'll find her, doctor.

Not until then

will you be able
to consider yourself

out of their power

and Louise finally
will enjoy that peace

which only comes
with true death.

That's terrible.

I no longer know

if what I believe
in is good or bad.

I have no doubts about
your honesty, doctor,

but what you are
asking me to do

concerns my poor wife.

No, Wolfgang,

Louise is no more your wife,

she's no more the
Louise you knew

and it's to this you will
have to resign yourself.

It's for the best,
I assure you.

This sacrifice is difficult,

you will need great
courage and decision.

What must I do, doctor?

Nothing, you stay here.

It might seem
too horrible to you

what I shall have to do.

It's almost dawn

and still nothing has appeared

and yet I'm sure

they're hiding somewhere
in these tunnels,

but where?

We must have
searched every corner.

Who'd have thought a coffin
would be hard to find?

Let's look again.

Soon, under cover of darkness,

the two vampires will
leave their lonely tombs

in search of the only food
that can keep them alive,

human blood.

It's absolutely
essential for them.

We must be sure to warn
Peter to watch over his house

and be ready to act
the moment they appear.

He should know that
only fire and the cross

can destroy them.

Except for these remedies,

no power can prevail.

We must go there
before it is too late.

Wolfgang,
the governess and the child

are in mortal danger.

They act with cunning

and we must be just as clever.

You will think that
I ask you far too much,

but it's necessary.

Tonight I will need
you to set my trap.

You will stay here
and wait for them...

No, doctor.

You must understand that to
me this doesn't make sense,

this is ridiculous as
well as painful for me.

Oh, I know, this makes
no difference to you

because all that
counts with you

is to realize your ambition,

to impress your friends
and prove you're brilliance,

but you ought to
realize that I, for one,

have had enough
of this comedy.

Be quiet, listen to me,

I'll explain to you.

It is not a question of
defending any one individual,

but of the whole of mankind
being in gravest danger,

we cannot remain
indifferent to this.

With your help,

I am about to k*ll
this thing at its roots

so that the peril
cannot inexorably
spread even further.

The moment has come at last

when vampires will
disappear from the earth.

Imagine,

all the children,

all the women
who must be saved

from contamination
by these monsters.

They must be banished,

exterminated, without pity.

Once again, I have to
ask your forgiveness.

I have no doubt
they'll arrive soon

and I shall be waiting

even if I have to spend
all of the night awake.

I feel I ought to
say how grateful I am

for what you're
doing Dr. Nietzsche.

I don't know if all these
precautions of yours

will be sufficient to keep
these creatures at bay, but,

I've a feeling that
all of this is useless.

However, if anything
should happen to me,

I want you to promise

to free me forever
from this appalling fate.

I can't bear the thought

that I might have to
wander throughout eternity

contaminating
other human beings.

Yes, certainly,

but it won't be necessary.

[Knock on door]

Would you mind
if I stayed here

for the rest of the night?

I'm afraid of remaining alone.

Poor, little Corrine.

These have been
difficult days for you, too.

Of course you can stay here.

I shall be of no
bother to anybody.

I'll just sit
here on this chair.

Very well, then,

you might be of help to him.

They have not come yet.

You will be needing
all your courage soon.

Any moment now,

they ought to be here.

[Screaming]

Aaah!

Ah!

Corrine,

what's the matter?

Corrine.

No.

No.

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

I am sorry for you,

but I have no choice.

God will have
pity on your soul.

Only a miracle can save him.

We'll have to give him
more blood transfusions.

If that's what's
needed to save him,

I'll be glad to
help you, doctor.

We will require at
least a couple of men

donating their blood
in order to save him.

I'll find them
for you, doctor.

We do not have
much time to lose,

his pulse is extremely weak.

Hurry up,
don't waste a minute.

In the meantime, doctor,

I can give you
some of my blood.

I'll hurry, sir.

Is he better, doctor?

You must try to
get a little rest,

at least for a while.

You haven't eaten or
had any sleep for days.

I thank you,

not for now.

Afterwards,

when I'm quite certain
that we have saved him.

It all depends on how
he passes the night.

Won't you have something
to drink, at least?

Yes, I will.

Where's Razie?

Why isn't she with you?

I left her outside,

she was playing

in the garden.

Is the Count better?

I hope to know in the morning.

Please take this.

While I'm getting
the coffee ready

why don't you have some fruit?

No, thank you.

Coffee will be enough.

I don't need
anything else for now.

Very well.

[Playing Piano]

Wolfgang.

Where'd you learn to
play that haunting music?

I learned it listening
to Louise play it

the night that
you gave the party.

I heard it just now

as I was lying there in bed.

I wondered if Louise
could've returned.

Do you know where
the doctor is?

He went in the
garden with daddy

to look for the bad man.

But what are those men like?

I can't imagine, can you?

I feel like walking
for a while in the park,

will you come with me?

Right now?

My father said

we mustn't go out at night.

You don't need to be afraid,

I won't leave you alone.

Besides, I want to show you

some wonderful,
new hiding places.

Do you know, I like walking
in the park at night time,

do you?

Please, Wolfgang, answer me.

Razie, keep still.

Let's get Razie.

Not now, please.

She won't be hurt.

We mustn't let
them out of our sight.

We'd better not stay here.

Why Wolfgang?

Don't be afraid,

it's quite safe here, Razie.

Open the door
in the name of God.

It's useless,

we'll have to break it down.

[Screaming]

Come on, we're almost through.

Hurry!

Aaah!

[Screaming]

[Crying]

Razie!

Daddy!

Daddy!

It's all over now.

Daddy.

[Crying]

He saved me from the bad man.
- Don't k*ll him!

Stop doctor!
- He saved Razie
from the vampire.

I almost k*lled you.

Dear Razie, you've
been badly frightened,

but now all that has passed.

He won't come back here?

No, you don't have to worry.

Your dolls are waiting
to play with you,

go and have fun.

Next time I can tell
you many, many stories

if you really want me to.

Do you?

Yes.

Goodbye.

Bye.

I advise you to take
good care of her.

We must be very careful

that what happened
to her last night

should not affect
the development

of her tender, young mind.

But small children
quickly forget.

With time, all
this will be erased.

Because as always in nature,

there is both good and bad.

After every storm,
the sun shines,

in its light we see

a proof of God's love.

Life has many strange secrets

but I think I'm
talking too much.

Ah, here's the carriage.

My bag, Peter.

It's taken care of, sir.

I just put it in the carriage.
- Ah, thank you.

Fine, then, we'll see you out.

Well, this is the
moment to say goodbye.
