the bloodsucker leads the dance (1975)

aka La sanguisuga conduce la danza. Il marchio di satana. The Leaches Lead the Dance. The Mark of Satan. The Passion of Evelyn.
"We aren't the castle type, and besides that Count, he's very peculiar."
A count visits a troop of actors (eight women and a very camp man), and invites them to his island castle. Once there, a madman starts offing the women one by one, but who is behind the killing, and can they be stopped?
A ghastly over-lit and overlong, (everything happens at half speed - it's like watching though treacle), excuse to show a few naked women. It purports to be a vampire film, but quickly turns into a whodunit when the killing starts. At least the period costumes look good!
