1970 Hammer Horror film starring Ingrid Pitt, Peter Cushing, Douglas Wilmer, Ferdy Mayne, Madeline Smith and Kate O'Mara. It features very little horror but the storyline is quite faithful to the original story, Sheridan LeFanu's Carmilla, in the midst of (tame) nudity. Followed by two sequels, Lust for the Vampire and Twins of Evil; altogether these films are known as Karnstein trilogy.

- Bling of War: In the case of the General Spielsdorf (Peter Cushing) in the ball scene.
