Mania From Italy

 

(imdb)

MANIA-1974-A woman named Lisa (Eva Spadaro) drives recklessly in a car with a man who says she is obsessed with Bercht, her dead husband. They seem to be menaced by a driver less car. She admits she let her scientist husband burn to death in a fire in his lab. She has a fit when her housekeeper accepts a package from a man. Then her psychiatrist tells her the only way to overcome her fear is to return to the villa where hubby died. Once there, they meet the husband's twin brother, a mean guy with a scarred face in a wheelchair with a mute servant girl. Lisa's housekeeper acts strangely suspicious, and Lisa seems to be losing her mind…or is she? 

Pretty lame, confused, tedious mess from Italy, directed by Renato Polselli (THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA (1960)).

Dance Vampire Dance

 

THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA-1960-A vampire terrorizes an Italian countryside. A ballet troupe is rehearsing at the home of a local professor. Two women Francesa (Tina Gloriani) and Luisa (Helene' Remy) and boyfriend Luca (Isarco Ravaioli) wander into an abandoned castle. There they meet the countess Aldo (Maria Luisa Rolando) and the trouble starts! The countess and her servant Herman (Walter Brandi) are actually vampires setting their sights on the women. Herman turns into a wrinkled laughing monster when he needs blood and the troupe do some wild exotic modern ballet dances. The best part is the vampires' destruction.

The screenwriter/director of this black and white Italian production Renato Polselli later made another vampire film THE MONSTER OF THE OPERA.
