Demoniac (1979)
Director Jess Franco stars as a mad priest who exorcises the demons from a group of Satanic worshippers, using the tried and tested techniques of the Spanish Inquisition.

Female Vampire (1973)
The plot revolves around Countess Irina von Karlstein (played by Lina Romay), a mute woman who needs sex like a vampire needs blood in order to stay alive forever. When new victims are found fatally drained of potency, forensic scientist Dr. Roberts consults his colleague, Dr. Orloff, who confirms that a vampire is responsible. Meanwhile, Irina is confronted by a poet who believes he is destined to become her lover and join her among the immortals.

Virgin Among the Living Dead (1973)
A girl arrives from London to visit her estranged relatives in a remote castle for the reading of her father's will. After a while she discovers that they are all in fact dead and her decision to live with them turns into a nightmare. Unable to leave she's drawn into a macabre underworld through visions of nude satanic rituals and her own impending sacrifice.

Demoniac (1979)
Demoniac originally went out as Ripper of Notre Dame. Director Jess Franco, discreetly avoiding his given name of Jesus Franco, plays the title role. He's fun to watch in a disgusting sort of way, but the production values and supporting cast don't come up to his admittedly unexacting standards. Lots of slashing, lots of nudity, little sense-but you probably guessed that when you read the title. The film also exists in a hard-core pornographic version titled Exorcism and Black Masses, available at off-brand video rental shops.

Female Vampire (1973)
Beautiful but mute Countess Irina Karlstein [Lina Romay] suffers from the curse of her ancestors--vampirism. She is doomed to go from victim to victim, making love to them but taking their lives at the height of their orgasms. It means a life of loneliness, punctuated only with a lot of one-night stands and dead bodies.After claiming her first victim, a birdfarmer at the edge of the forest, Irina leaves her home in the mountains of Madeira (Portugal) to spend some time at the seashore. While lounging at the hotel pool, she is approached by a journalist named Anna [Anna Watican], who wants to interview Irina regarding her bloody family. Later, when Irina is getting hungry again, her renfield [Louis Barboo] sends up the hotel masseur with a note saying that she needs his services. The next time she gets hungry, Irina drains Anna. She pays a visit to a dominatrix [Monica Swinn] and ends up draining her. And so the cycle continues.Irina's murders are raising suspicion with Dr Roberts [Jesus Franco], who takes his autopsy findings to his friend Dr Orloff [Raymond Hardy], a blind metaphysician. They both agree that it looks like the work of a vampire. Roberts suspects Irina Karlstein and wants to destroy her, but Orloff questions whether the experience of being drained by a vampire might actually be worth it. Irina finds herself attracted to Baron Von Rathony [Jack Taylor], who is himself in love with Irina, and they go to her ancestral home in the mountains. He thinks that it's destiny that they be together, but Irina's destiny is different from his. She ends up taking his life, too. Dr Roberts decides to put an end to Irina. He breaks into her house, kills her renfield, and finds Irina in the bath. As he watches her luxuriating in the red water, however, he cannot bear to kill her. And so Irina goes back into the mountains the same way she came...alone.

Virgin Among the Living Dead (1973)
The film follows Christina (Christina von Blanc) travelling home from a boarding school in London, in order to visit her relatives at the Castle Monteserate and to attend the reading of her father's Will. Odd thing is she has never known her father or even met her relatives, and according to an Innkeeper and the village locals, the castle she is headed for is apparently abandoned. But nonetheless, Christina continually insists and believes that her whole family lives there.
