Renato Polselli’s The Vampire and the Ballerina is recognized as one of the films that bridged the traditional Gothic horror of the 1950s with the more sensual, psychological Italian horrors of the 1960s. Its combination of youthful protagonists, erotic undertones, and gothic atmosphere would influence later Italian filmmakers, and it is often cited as a precursor to the work of Mario Bava. This Belgian affichette, issued with bilingual text, is one of the scarcer international formats.
