7) Dracula's Daughter is a 1936 film produced by E. M. Asher, written by Garrett Fort, and directed by Lambert Hillyer. Although I love Dracula (1931) and Son Of Dracula (1943), this moody, atmospheric classic is my favorite of the Dracula trilogy. An extraordinary expressionist masterpiece that has some boundary pushing scenes for it's day. A favorite among the Universal classic horror films.
8) Santo vs. The Vampire Women a.k.a. Santo vs. Las Murjeres Vampiro is a 1962 film directed by Alfonso Corona Blake. A fantastic piece of cinema with some artful chiaroscuro photography, great atmosphere, creepy vampire women, and Santo the masked wrestler versus a wolf bat man. A unique, wonderful piece of cinema.
9) The Naked Beast / La Bestia Desnuda is a 1967 film, which wasn't released until 1971, written and directed by Emilio Vieyra. A phantom like figure attempts to express their love for a singer / actress, while members of her theater troupe are murdered. With it's artsy light / shot compositions, and creepy, yet melancholy ambience, this is one of Vieyra's best.
Part 4 is here.

Loved Dracula's Daughter it is sad it doesn't get as much time as many of the others. Don't know if I am jumping the gun but of Course Låt den rätte komma in by Tomas Alfredson and Park Chan-wook's Bakjwi (Let the Right One In & Thirst) are really unique to me and to this day are my favorites of the genre. Enjoying the read thus far and looking forward to part 4
