Lust of the Vampire (1957)

In the shadowy streets of Paris, a chilling mystery emerges as four young women are discovered, lifeless, their veins eerily devoid of blood. Enter Pierre Lantin, a relentless journalist with a flair for the dramatic, who becomes ensnared in the hunt for the murderer, notorious only as 'The Vampire'. Despite the disapproval of the stern and pragmatic Inspector Chantal, Lantin's investigative instincts point him towards the enigmatic Du Grand family, aristocrats shrouded in ancient secrets and inhabitants of a foreboding castle. Simultaneously, Lantin becomes the object of the relentless pursuit of Giselle Du Grand, the charming yet subtly menacing niece of the family's wealthy matriarch, Margherita Du Grand. As the intersections of these complex relationships unravel, the plot thickens, leading Lantin deeper into the heart of the mystery. Meanwhile, in the opulent chambers of the unhinged Duchess Du Grand, a grotesque obsession with eternal youth unfolds. Her lover, a rogue scientist, is driven to commit horrifying acts, murdering women to drain their blood for the Duchess's macabre rituals. Alongside this, a local drug addict, tangled in the web of the mad scientist's schemes, becomes a crucial link in the so-called 'vampire murders'. As Lantin navigates the labyrinth of secrets and lies, he uncovers a dark plot, weaving together the fates of the Du Grand family, the drug addict, and the mad scientist.
