    "I've never tasted anything quite like it!"

    Cheeky little number involving a bus load of folks hired for some far off job travelling the Spanish countryside when their bus driver has a heart attack and dies. While stashing his body safely in the overhead compartment, they debate whether to head on to their planned destination or stop for the night at the sinister village that's just mysteriously appeared nearby. Being characters in a horror film, they of course choose the village.

    Also, being characters in a horror film, they show no surprise whatsoever when they find the village deserted, but the local hotel's bar stuffed with booze, a roaring fire going, and loads of rooms ready to sleep in. They meet another traveller played by Jack Taylor, from every Spanish film ever made including Ghost Galleon, the hilarious Pieces, and ever Jess Franco film that's escaped to torment the public. He's also non-plussed about the deserted village, but he's tickled pink to find a hole in his hotel bedroom wall that allows him to spy on the pretty girl of the bus party.

    After one of the bus party is secretly eaten out in public, screaming in agony while no one notices, everyone else gets up in the morning to find the villagers have returned. Turns out they were holding some sort of rave down at the local cemetery. They also serve the travellers a cooked human leg (donated by a reluctant villager) as they don't have any normal meat. As you have figured out the village is full of vampires and the travellers are all on the menu. Problem is, the travellers haven't figured it out yet.

    While not overflowing with gore or nudity (although it has a bit of both), this one is quite well paced for a Spanish horror film and has a nice creepy atmosphere throughout. There's a ghostly kid who hangs out with a travelling kid, the countess who seduces one of the bus party, and the whole thing reminded me a bit of Messiah of Evil, what with the entire town turning up and silently descending on the victims. There's also a bit of humour, what with the vampire with axe having to villagers to 'donate' body parts.

    As with most Spanish films, I have no idea if this is cut or not…but it's a good 'un

    A Pretty Decent Vampire Movie

    Like so many movies that are dubbed, there is a disjointedness to the dialog that gets in the way sometimes. I'm sure Europeans feel the same way about English language films. When things transpire, it's almost like one character waits for another to say something. It really louses up the suspense. This film begins on a mini-bus and its characters are stunned when a man dies and is put in the back, under a blanket. It gets late and they decide to put off going to their final destination and stop over in a little town. What they don't know is that there is a Vampire subculture living there, who not only feast off the innocent, but give up their own body parts for food if it will lead to more blood for them. There is a mistress of the dark who runs things and makes decisions for them. I won't go through the plot, but there is some humor, some terror, some bad decisions, and a host of pretty scary figures, closing in on innocent victims. It even breaks the movie rule about the killing of a little child. There is some gratuitous imagery, sexual content 70's style, but it's very tame. The movie does make an impression, and is better than many others of its era.

    Reasonable Vampire Movie, Awful Music Score

    A group of workers is traveling by bus to the town of Bojoni to work for an aristocratic family. The driver has a fulminating heart attack, and the group decides to drive to the near village of Tolnio instead, to spend the night and follow to Bojoni on the next morning. They find nobody in the apparently ghost city, but in the next morning, they meet the hospitable dwellers. Their bus has a problem in the engine, and they have to stay in Tolnio. Sooner they find that they are trapped in a vampire village.

    "La Orgía Nocturna de los Vampiros" is a reasonable vampire movie, having also many funny moments. I particularly liked the scenes where meat is served to the hosts; the death of the little girl; the finger in the food of Alma; the vampires chasing the car with Louis and Alma; and the beautiful breasts of Dyanik Zurakowska, with marks of bikini. The conclusion is ridiculous, with Alma and Louis returning to Tolnio immediately after their scary runaway. Unfortunately, the music score of this film is simply awful, dated and not suitable for a horror film. My vote is five.

    Title (Brazil): "A Orgia Noturna dos Vampiros" ("The Vampire's Night Orgy")
    Richard_Harland_Smith

    A blood-soaked Brigadoon

    Reminiscent of Piero Regnoli's THE PLAYGIRLS AND THE VAMPIRE and Jean Brismee's THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE, Leon Klimovsky's THE VAMPIRES' NIGHT ORGY finds a busload of disparate characters stranded in the middle of a desolate Carpathian countryside and forced to rely on the kindness of strangers... who turn out to be vampires under the domination of an Anne Ricean queen played by veteran Euro-cult actress Helga Line (the ill-starred foreign agent in Eugenio Martin's HORROR EXPRESS). Eschewing fangwork and the usual Gothic trappings of the vampire mythos, Klimovsky and his screenwriters (Antonio Fos had co-written Eloy de la Iglesia's CANNIBAL MAN and CLOCKWORK TERROR) return to European folklore to present shabby, homely revenants whose attacks, while relatively bloodless, effectively communicate a vibe of disgust and dread.

    Rounding out the stellar international cast is American expatriate actor Jack Taylor (recently seen in Roman Polanski's THE NINTH GATE), Dianik Zurakowska (CAULDRON OF BLOOD, THE HANGING WOMAN), Manuel de Blas (ASSIGNMENT: TERROR, THE HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE), Luis Ciges (HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB, VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES and Pedro Almodovar's LABYRINTH OF PASSION) and Fernando Bilbao (FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD, DRACULA PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN).

    Known mostly for war films and westerns, the Argentina-born Leon Klimovsky directed THE VAMPIRES' NIGHT ORGY during a period of exclusive horror filmmaking, which included the popular Paul Naschy vehicles THE WEREWOLF VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMAN, DR. JEKYLL AND THE WOLFMAN and the superior THE SAGA OF THE DRACULAS (which also featured Helga Line).

    A Euro-cult classic, and well worth seeking out.

    Scary Spanish horror with sensationalistic images, and loads of blood and gore.

    A typical Spanish terror of the seventies in which a busload of tourists stops in to visit a small European town. Seven very tired passengers : Ernesto (Indio González), Godo (Luis Ciges), Cesar (David Aller), Marcos (Manuel de Blas), Alma (Dianik Zurakowska), Raquel (Charo Soriano), and Raquel's eight year old daughter Violet are traveling by bus to Bojoni (filmed in Spain). Suddenly, the bus driver (L. Villena) suffers a strong stroke. When they arrive in Tolnia, however, there is not a soul to be seen, except for Luis (Jack Taylor), an American traveler who arrived in Tolnia about an hour ago and has been walking around the village looking for someone...anyone. Later on , they mett the village Major Boris (José Guardiola) who apologizes and explains that the villagers were at the cemetery yesterday, paying their respects to a recently-deceased villager. They also meet a beautiful but suspect woman (Helga Liné) who claims to be the countess of the place. What they don't know is that the town is completely inhabited by vampires. When the moon is up the fun begins !.

    Eerie film containing suspense, tension , vampirism and lots of blood and guts with abundant sensationalistic scenes and a Naif style. This is a Spanish Horror dealing with a motley group of passengers who decide to drive to the near village of Tolnio instead, to spend the night and follow to Bojoni on the next morning where a host of spooky surprises await them , being really filmed in Madrid surroundings, such as: Patones, Talamanca del Jarama, Torrelaguna and in Uceda, Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha. Director Klimowsky adequately demonstrates his skill and craftsmanship in the field of terror, acquired through mutual work with horror expert and Fantaterror icon Jacinto Molina or Paul Naschy (Marshall of hell, Rebellion of dead one or La rebelión de las muertas , Werewolf shadow ,Dr Jekill vs. The werewolf). The movie has a bit of ridiculous gore with loads of blood similar to tomato. B-entertainment with a fairly suspenseful and horrifying story in which bloodthirsty vampires wreak havoc and undergoing a criminal spree by means of dismemberments, slitting, decapitation and other brutal executions. The script is quite frightening and ghastly, including some disgusting, loathing images at a meal, scenes that would be copied in another successful horror film ¨It happened at Nightmare Inn (una vela para el diablo) ¨ (1973) directed by Eugenio Martín , that's why it was also written by the same screenwriter, the notorious Antonio Fos. As usual, two versions were filmed, one with no nudity for the Spanish public that was heavily censored due to the strict repression from the Francoist regime and one with nudity for the international market.

    The photography by Antonio L Ballesteros is very mediocre and too dark, therefore a perfect remastering is necessary to clarify the colors. This strange motion picture was middlingly but professionally directed by Leon Klimovsky and plenty of flaws and gaps . Klimovsky was born on October 16, 1906 in Buenos Aires, Argentina as León Klimovsky Dulfano . Founded Argentina's first film club in 1929 . Began his film career making short movies . Settled in Spain in the 1950s and became a Spanish citizen . Klimovsky was a slick craftsman who directed all kind of genres, usually working for Paul Naschy. He made his directorial debut with El Jugador (1947) based on the Dostoyewsky story of the same name. Of his 80 films as director, he shot almost 70 in Spain, but most are B-grade products, characterized by their diversity. These include the adaptation of Pedro Antonio Alarcón's La Picara Molinera (1955), the comedy Viaje de Novios (1956) and Ramón y Cajal's biography entitled Salto a la Gloria (1959), and even wild melodramas like Ama Rosa (1960) and he was one of the four directors who made the oriental fantasy Los Amantes del Desierto (1957). He also worked as an actor, highlighting his intervention in the film Maravillas (1980) by Manuel Gutierrez Aragón. Klimovsky was a prolific director and writer , especially known for his terror films as La Noche De Walpurgis (1971), La Orgía Nocturna De Los Vampiros (1973) , La Saga De los Drácula , La Rebelión De Las Muertas , Doctor Jekyll Y Hombre Lobo , but he also directed other genres as Wartime : Operación Rommel , June 44 attack force Normandy, Bridge over Elba, En Ghentar Si Muore Facile , The Legion of No Return ; thriller : Mean Mother ; Western : Reverendo Colt , 2000 dollars for Coyote , Few Dollars for Django, Death Knows No Time , Rattler Kid , A dollar for Sartana ; and Drama : La Casa De Las Chivas , Salto a La Gloria. Rating : 5.5/10, acceptable and passable . Well worth watching .The picture will appeal to Spanish Fantaterror fans.

    • Alternate versions
      This film, like many Spanish films from the late 60s through the end of the Franco era, shot their racy scenes twice, once with the actors nude, and then again with clothes on. The covered versions mostly appeared in Spanish prints, but not always. The nude scenes would be included in the dubbed versions that were offered for sale to just about everywhere else in the world. This film has three scenes where the actresses are nude, and these appear an English dubbed print retitled Orgy of the Vampires. The Pagan UK releases on VHS and DVD are the covered version of the film, and this version now appears in the US on DVDs of questionable legitimacy from Alpha and Sinema Diable.
