Interesting facts

Atom Age Vampire is a 1960 Italian horror film directed by Anton Giulio Majano. Shot in black-and-white, the film was produced by Elio Ippolito Mellino and stars Alberto Lupo, Susanne Loret, and Sergio Fantoni set in France. Despite there being no vampires in the film, it was released in the US as Atom Age Vampire in 1963 in an 87-minute version. It was further shortened for English language DVD release.

Production

Several reference books state the film was produced by Mario Bava, which is incorrect. The producer is Elio Ippolito Mellino under the alias of Mario Fava. The script for the film recalls Georges Franju's Eyes Without a Face, which had been released in Italy several months before Atom Age Vampire. The film was shot at Pisorno Studio in Tirrenia.
