Directed by Robert Fuest, who directed several episodes of the Avengers. You can see at lot of that influence in the Phibes movies.
It's cool seeing those Avengers-related movies. Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter was by Brian Clemens.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter was by Brian Clemens.
That one was an interesting take on vampires, in that vampires may have different stregnths, weaknesses and appetites depending on where you find them. The scene where he and an infected acquaintence try to figure out how to kill the breed of vampire in the movie by trying them out on the infected guy is both hilarious and horrible.

Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971).
Legend of Hell House (72) really freaked me out as a kid, but it didn't hold up the last time I watched it.
Just for the pop-culture refs, Willard (71) (well, that and the fun of seeing Ernest Borgnine eaten by rats).
Flesh for Frankenstein / Blood for Dracula (both 74) for practically inventing splatstick.
Carrie's a year too late, unfortunately.

What about Daughters of Darkness? Or the Karnstein Trilogy?
Do you have something against the golden age of lesbian vampire movies?

I'd go for Jean Rollin or Jess Franco for those.
Those were just off the top of my head (I mean if I was doing my list, instead of adding movies, Suspiria would be on it - but now that I think about it, that was 77, so it's off the list).
Which reminds me, I'd add Argento's Deep Red (74 or 75) to the list, but only the original cut of the movie, not the incoherent one that got released in the states back in the day.

Not a terribly wide-ranging list. Definitely US-centric.
