Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Count Yorga, Vampire (1970)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The film was originally to have been a soft core porn film called The Loves of Count Iorga, and some prints display that as the on-screen title; Quarry told actor/producer Michael Macready he would play the vampire only if they turned the story into a straight horror film.
- The film went before the MPAA ratings board six times before being granted the GP rating, and two or three minutes of violent and sexual content were ultimately removed by AIP.
- AIP head Samuel Z. Arkoff was responsible for changing the title from Iorga to Yorga, simply to make it easier for buyers to pronounce.
