The Vampire's Ghost (1945)

The Vampire's Ghost (1945)

Unique version of a vampire tale from Republic has been forgotten 

over the years due to its rarity but this here certainly needs to 

find a new crowd. A 400-year-old vampire (John Abbott) living in 

Africa sets his sight on a new girl but the voodoo locals and her 

boyfriend try to stop him. A very intelligent script by Leigh 

Brackett makes this head and shoulders more original than the Dracula 

films being delivered by Universal and Columbia. The film throws in 

all sorts of new ideas surrounding the legend of vampires and that's 

what makes this film so interesting even if it does drag a bit at 

59-minutes. (IMDB  Michael_Elliott)
