    #1 - The Return of the Vampire (1943)

    S31:E33

    Tonight on MeTV, after the July 4th blasts, we get some very different blasts- that are responsible for the disinterment and restoration of a dangerous vampire thought to have been dealt with years ago! This is the movie that ostensibly returned the great Bela Lugosi to the familiar role of an undead caped menace the grave could not imprison. This time he is seeking revenge against the family that tried to end his practice of making unauthorized transfusions a generation ago in the 1943 chiller “Return of the Vampire”
