A low-budget production, so much so that actor Dieter Eppler stated that many cast members went unpaid, the film was released in Italy where it grossed 36 million lira.

In 19th Century Austria, a newlywed couple, Marquis Wolfgang (Walter Brandi) and Louise (Graziella Granata), acquire a castle.

She is visited by a vampire (Dieter Eppler) who she originally sees at the party she was in and sucks her blood, leading her to desire him.

[2] Through Laurentiis' brother Luigi, Eppler was cast as a police inspector in a film that never started production due to a lack of funds.

"[5] In a retrospective review, Danny Shipka, author of Perverse Titillation: The Exploitation Cinema of Italy, Spain and France, 1960-1980 described Dieter Eppler's vampire character as "one of the campiest vampires in history"[6] The review concluded that the "film is a hoot thanks to some of the most outlandish dubbing ever, making the film appear more like an MST3k episode than a serious thriller.
