Synopsis

Barbara Irons is an actress playing a vampire who is actually killed and turned into a real vampire in Transylvania. Years later, she decides to move to America and go back into acting. She never looks older so she continues to get starring roles. She signs on with a producer who insists on realism so he only films at nights. Because she feeds on people in the surrounding area, her films always get good publicity. Unfortunately for her, her producer replaces Peter Cushing with a real vampire hunter from Europe. When he kills her, he asks the camera, "There! Was that real enough for you?"
