Common card · No. 238315

Kiss of the Vampire is a 1963 British vampire horror film from Hammer Film Productions, directed by Don Sharp and starring Clifford Evans, Noel Willman, Edward de Souza, Jennifer Daniel, and Barry Warren. The film follows a honeymooning couple who encounter a cult of vampires in rural Bavaria. The screenplay was written by Anthony Hinds, under the pen name 'John Elder'. Originally conceived as a sequel in Hammer's Dracula series, the film was retooled into a standalone project. It was the first of several films that Australian director Sharp made for Hammer. Shooting took place at Bray Film Studios. The film was first released in the United States on 11 September 1963, before being released in Britain on a double-bill with Paranoiac on 26 January 1964. A heavily re-edited version, featuring new scenes with actors Carl Esmond and Virginia Gregg, was later aired on American television under the title Kiss of Evil.
