COUNT YORGA PASSES
I guess life just won't let you get away from the inevitable.

One of the screens great vampires, Robert Quarry, has passed away.

Born in 1925, Quarry was a mainstay in now classic fright films of the early 70's. His turn as blood sucking vampire is seem by many to be even more menacing than that of Christopher Lee's portrayal. Filled with hate and bloodlust, his Count Yorga would smite you like a wayward bug on the kitchen counter.


From Yorga to Dr.Phibes Rises Again to DeathMaster to MadHouse. This dude rode the Horror train with the best of them. Due to contractual obligations at the time, Quarry was denied the opportunity to star opposite long time friend Darren McGavin in the hit TV Movie "The Night Stalker". This was appeased with The Return of Count Yorga; another blood sucking fiesta of vampire love.

This dude simply rocked.

He passed on February 20th and will be missed by a legion of friends and fans. Possibly the byline to this should be Prince Sirki goes home.

Hope he and Forry hook up real soon.

Robert Quarry died February 20th, 2009

Getting real close buddy. Watch your back next year.

Take Care and God Bless
