This film came out in 1970, and had a sequal called The return of count Yorga.
Both were directed by Bob Kelljan and starred Robert Quarry as Count Yorga.
I've not seen either film in years, but were both reasonally good films, and didn't have exactly the usual endings.

I saw the movie, the original, back in the 70's when it came out. Not a big budgeted movie but it scared the bejeezus out of me. Light years away from the big special effects, it used some unusual camerawork to startle the audience. Such as the intruder in the Count's house turning and looking down the hallway and seeing Dracula running towards him, right into the camera. To those who have seen it you all know what I mean. And in the final scene, when all vampires have been dealt with, our hero leans back against the wall in exhaustion.......only to open his eyes and see his 'rescued' girlfriend lunge at him, teeth bared!! This scene literally made me jump out of my seat back then!!!!
I do own the sequel but I haven't seen it in awhile. Own the original too, but it was video taped off one of the movie channels. I had the pleasure of meeting the Count, er the actor Robert Quarry in New Jersey at the Chiller Theatre Convention. I told him I thought vampires didn't come out during the day. He found it humorous. Was good to see him. Count Yorga left quite an impression on me. For a low budget flick with some unknowns, it was a great movie to me.
