1972 Robert Quarry
Star Of Vampire Flicks In 1972 Screen Thriller
Robert Quarry, who has won screen renown for his convincing portrayals as a member of vampire nobility stars again in a new, equally horrific role in "The Deathmaster," American International's new screen shocker which opened in 1972. It was his initial efforts as a merchant of menace in "Count Yorga, Vampire," an earlier American International release which launched the actor into the milieu of the horror film.
