# The Vampire (1957)

1957 · 75 min · Horror · United States


## Synopsis

The Vampire is a 1957 American horror film produced by Arthur Gardner and Jules V. Levy, directed by Paul Landres, and starring John Beal and Coleen Gray. Its plot follows a San Francisco physician who inadvertently ingests pills laced with the blood of vampire bats, leading him to take on vampiric qualities. Like 1956's The Werewolf, it offered a science fiction take on a traditionally supernatural creature, although the films were produced by different production companies. James Vance was Art Director, Jack McKenzie was the photographer, Don Robertson handled Makeup and Rudy Butler was Set Designer.
