In Sierra Negra, two graverobbers steel the coffin of Count Karol de Lavud (Germán Robles) from the crypt, despite the resistance of María Teresa (Alicia Montoya). They head by car to a hospital, where the greedy Barraza (Yeire Beirute) sees a medallion when the coffin is opened and demands more money from his partner, Doctor Mendoza (Guillermo Orea). Meanwhile, at the same hospital, Marta González (Ariadna Welter) is working as a nurse with Dr. Enrique Saldívar (Abel Salazar) and still recovering from the events in Sicomorros. When Dr. Mendoza seeks out Dr. Enrique to tell that he has stolen the vampire coffin to study his cells, Barraza returns to the room and remove the wood stake to steal Count Lavud's medallion. The vampire returns to life and begins a crime spree in the city, hunting down Marta to marry her.
"El ataúd del vampire", a.k.a. "The Vampire's Coffin" (1958), is a weak sequel of "El vampire" (1957) using the same characters. However, on the contrary of the first movie, the locations in the hospital and in the wax museum are very poor, The character Dr. Enrique Saldívar looks like a silly man most of the time, and not a MD, and destroys the movie as the hero, or good guy that fights the vampire. María Teresa hiding inside a torture chamber is another silly moment. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Ataúde do Vampiro" ("The Vampire's Coffin")
