Mark of the Vampire

1935 · 60 min

A creaky, atmospheric old-dark-house mystery that plays its gothic chills straight before pulling the rug out with a wry theatrical wink.

Tagline
Undead…Yet living on the kisses of youth!
Overview
Sir Borotyn, a prominent Prague resident, is discovered murdered in his home, with all indications pointing to a vampiric assault. The victim's friend, Baron Otto, and the physician who analyzes the body, are certain that the vampire is either the mysterious Count Mora or his daughter. Receiving little help from the law, occult expert Professor Zelen is sought to assist with their investigation.
