In 1976 Hammer films made
Vampirella
Directed by Alan Gibson
Caroline Munro who had previously worked for Hammer in Dracula 1972 A.D would play Harris Publication's titillating Heroine with former Doctor Who John Pertwee replacing Peter Cushing as Vami's ally Mordecai Pendragon.
The Film was a sexy and fun story involving alien vampires, fast cars, and a plot at world dommination by Hitler's severed brain. It probably would have been a bigger hit had it not been released in the US the same week Rocky came out but the role of Vampirella helped elevate Munro's career getting her the role of Maj. Anya Amasova in the James Bond movie
The Spy who loved me. and return to Hammer in the second Hammer/Toho collaboration as Anne Bonty in
Queen of the Sea
Vampirella would find a cult following in the United States when it was released on Video cassette in the 80's
