The Return of Count Yorga (1971)

The sequel to the 1970 vampire in California film Count Yorga, Vampire. Now it might seem that it would be a little difficult to make a sequel to Count Yorga, Vampire, in that at the end of the original film the titular Count Yorga is turned to dust, however it was not difficult because the filmmakers simply chose to ignore the events of the first film, retaining only the character of Count Yorga and a contemporary California setting. In this film Yorga (still played by Robert Quarry) prays on the staff of an isolated orphanage, but makes the mistake of falling in love with one of the teachers there(Mariette Hartley, interesting face) which of course leads to his downfall, only now its a downfall from which no subsequent sequel would ever arrive to rescue him. Not as good as the first Count Yorga film, the movie does a mediocre job of building to something and then never quite pays it off. This movie is perhaps most notable for the appearance of a young Craig T. Nelson in a small role as a police officer. **
