A handful of travelers strands in a small Spanish village, after their driver suddenly dies. They could hardly have known that their generous hosts are a bunch of slightly uncanonical vampires.
Sometimes the humble viewer gets more than expected. In the case of The Vampires Night Orgy (thus sayeth the title credit) this doesn't come as a big surprise - the movie is all over the place. I'd really like to know how a film becomes a mixture of so many different moods. It is at times eerie (the final flight scene, some of the murders), sleazy (our "hero" watching our heroine through a peephole), outrageous (fun with cannibalism), goofy (fun with cannibalism again) and honestly disturbing (the fate of the little girl). Add to this Leon Klimovsky's (not always seen in other movies by him I know) moody direction and a funky soundtrack and you get something incoherent but very effective.
