captain kronos: vampire hunter (1974)

aka Kronos. Vampire Castle.
Young women are literally having the youth sucked out of them. Enter ace vampire hunter Capt. Kronos invited there by an old friend the local doctor. Kronos and his side kick Grost search for clues which lead them to the mysterious Durward family, and the aged Lady Durward.
One of my favourite Hammer horrors, which combines the gothic horror they are so well known for, with tongue in cheek humour and an element of the old swashbuckling serial vibe. All wrapped up within some brilliant directing by Brian Clemens. Oh and Caroline Munro doesn't harm matters as the love interest.
