The Fearless Vampire Killers, which is popularly known as “Dance of the Vampires” outside U.S. It was also titled as “The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck” in its American release.

 

Professor Ambronsius (Jack MacGowran) is an old aged academician, who specializes in the study and research of bats and vampires. The young and wacky Alfred (Polanski) assists Professor Ambronsius in his academic pursuits, during which time they both have to travel to a village named Transylvania which is always snow-clad and it said to have been inhibited by vampires.

The Professor and Alfred puts up at an inn in Transylvania, where Alfred and Sarah (Sharon Tate) the beautiful and comely daughter of the innkeeper get romantically involved. Suddenly one day Sharon is abducted by the vampire Count Von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne) and to her rescue comes Professor Ambronsius and Alfred, who then head towards the castle which is occupied by the vampires.

 

The movie has the same plot as any other vampire movie, but what makes it different is the horror spoof that has been tried to create. Alfred’s character played by Polanski has its special touch of Polanski making it worth a watch and watching Count Von Krolock played by Ferdy Mayne in the vampire role is just splendid. It is said that later on the movie underwent heavy editing because of which Polanski’s role was cut short and in many scenes dubbing was done due to which movie’s essence was lost. As a result, Polanski asked his name to be removed from the credits of the movie. However, it is worth a watch for Polanski’s humour.
