The Return of Count Yorga (1971)
Robert Quarry returns as Count Yorga with this 1971 sequel. Again, he brings a much needed weight to the project obviously taking the role seriously and injecting the character with authority. Between 1970 and 1974, Quarry would star in no less than 6 horror films and should have become a horror icon. Sadly, as the 70's came to the latter half, horror icons would fade and graphic effects and violence would take center stage. Horror movies change drastically throughout this time and, perhaps, he came just a tad too late. In addition to Count Yorga and The Return of Count Yorga, Quarry would bill in Dr. Phibes Rises Again, Deathmaster, Sugar Hill and Madhouse.
The films also features Mariette Hartley, Roger Perry, Yvonne Wilder and Craig T. Nelson (in his first role?). Directed and written by Bob Kelljan and co-written by Yvonne Wilder.
So here it is ... The Return of Count Yorga

Love these old movies. I used to sneak to watch them as a kid. Thanks for posting them,
Glad you liked them, momkiss. Horror movies of the '70s are special to me - they represent a transition from the more-innocent Universal Monsters to more-graphic horror of the 80's. Great stuff.
