Hi everyone,

I recently picked up a 16mm film labeled "Kill a Vampire"

I have had no luck finding it on imdb, or anywhere online for that matter.

I have not had the chance to project the film, hopefully later tonight (then I can post some pictures)

I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of this movie or has any information on it.

Thank you!

I've seen a lot of vampire films but it's not a title I've come across. It's not unusual for foreign language films to have more than one "AKA" English titles, so once you discover the director and one or two of the stars, you may possibly be able to find a better-known title on IMDB. I'll be interested to see the screen shots and find out what you discover.

Those were some of the thoughts that ran through my mind as well

I unrolled the films slightly and was able to determine there was a big mistake, this is actually Kill the umpire! (1950)

Just as well you hadn't organised a screening for an audience of horror fans!

Now that would have been embarrassing! [Eek!]
