A pair of horror movies from MGM about said titled vampire
Line 7 ⟶ 6:
The plot of the movies were pretty much the same. Yorga would arrive in a new neighborhood and insert himself among the residents. He then set his sight on a certain female character, though starts off feeding on her (usually female) friends, turning them and adding to his undead harem. Soon some of the heroes find out what going on and set out to stop him.
 
If it all sound familiar, that because it is essentially a 70's70s take ofon ''[[Dracula]]''. Though Yorga was much more genre savvy, cunning and suave. Two films of the series were made. ''Count Yorga'' (Original Title: ''The Loves of Count Yorga'') and ''The Return of Count Yorga''. Though neither movie share any continuity with each other, being stand alone stories. Both are very good popcorn horror movie flicks despite the low budgets.
 
Interesting side note, the first film started off as a softcore porn movie. But Robert Quarry, the actor who played Yorga, agreed to do the film if it was just turned into a horror movie. You can still see some of the original overtones of the film however.
