"The Vampire's Ghost" is a 1945 horror film in black and white. A small African village with a bar run by a strange character named Webb Fallon is the centre of the film story. Mysterious murders have scared the local people, and this Fallon doesn't even have a reflection!
Directed by Lesley Selander, and written by the following: John K. Butler, Leigh Brackett and Bram Stoker. The stars includes John Abbott, Charles Gordon, Peggy Stewart and Grant Withers. The production company is Republic Pictures.
The story itself is quite scary and has an element of magic and witchcraft. A short and (blood) sweet 59 minutes long, it's got punchy lines and sassy female characters from the heroine Julie played by Peggy Stewart, and the villain Lisa played by Adele Mara. The vampire himself is centuries old and manages to go out in broad daylight! Also the hero Roy, played by Charles Gordon, gets ill very quickly.
Do I have any complaints about this film? Yes.
My rating for this is 7/10. Read spoilers below if you dare too.

SPOILER: Lisa's dancing and style is pretty enchanting!
