I hadn't seen this one in a while so I watched it tonight to see if I still experienced the same abject fright when I first saw it on 'Creature Features' on WNEW-5 in New York City a billion years ago.
Although the chills are a bit muted at this poit, "The Vampire" holds up extremely well. Beal, Gray and Ken Tobey are excellent along with Dabbs Greer as Beal's fatally naive colleague. The scene where Gray is chased into her house and Beal kills the old lady is chilling.
Excellent score by Gerald Fried whose work in "The Return of Dracula", "I Bury The Living" and "The Killing" was just as admirable. Is he still around and has Tom or anyone interviewed him?
Also -where did they shoot the exteriors for the old house that served as the lab and were the street sequences shot in Culver City as somebody posted on IMDb?
Good flick.
