Count Yorga, Vampire

At a seance in a middle class California house, mysterious Bulgarian medium Count Yorga (Robert Quarry) attempts to contact the deceased mother of Donna (Donna Anders), host of the gathering. The seance ends when Donna has a panic attack, which Yorga is able to cure with his hypnotic powers, and then two of the participants, Erica Landers (Judy Lang) her boyfriend Paul (Michael Murphy), offer Yorga a lift back to his palatial mansion.

After dropping off the Count and driving part of the way away from the house, Erica and Paul’s VW van gets stuck on the driveway; too spooked to come out into the night to stay the evening in Yorga’s home, they boink.
