Trivia
This was written by director Edward Dein along with his wife, Mildred Dein. It was claimed to have been written by the couple as a lark, with no expectation of it actually being acquired for production.

Goofs
When the sheriff confronts Dolores when putting up the first poster, she says she will continue putting them up until Carter gets what's coming to him. Carter is her family name, she should have said Buffer.

Quotes
Dr. John Carter: You know I can't figure it, I didn't think Dora would last the night.
Preacher Dan Young: I'd like to think my prayers helped some.
Dr. John Carter: Well I know for sure it wasn't my medicine, Fuller girl died an hour ago. I poured over every medical book I could get my hands on, I can't find a thing about an epidemic effecting only young girls. If I were supersticous I'd say it was more like a curse. Well, at the expense of my medical pride, I have to admit it was your medicine that did the trick, her pulse is normal, she's sleeping peacefully. I'm almost tempted to throw away my black bag and come over to your side.
Preacher Dan Young: You've always been on my side.

Surprisingly Interesting

This one came as a surprise to me - it's actually fairly interesting to watch. It's a neat idea: a vampire in the old west. Why not - vampires can pop up any place in any century. This one made for a fun afternoon film to watch.

We have a gun-slinging vampire taking over a small town. It is up to the preacher and Dolores Carter to save the town from people dying mysteriously of blood-loss and to deal with the stranger in town.

This is not the finest vampire film on the market but it is a fun one - something different than normal. I enjoyed this one.
