By the 1970's Hammer films were falling on some hard times. This was their attempt to spice up the vampire genre by doing something different. It wasn't very successful and I can kind of see why. To me, with a few exceptions, vampire films are never very exciting. This one's got a clown-faced midget, a blood-sucker who turns into a panther, the guy who played Darth Vader as a strongman, kids getting killed plus an almost totally naked chick painted up like a tiger and it still manages to be pretty dull. I guess this would appeal only to hardcore Hammer fans who love any horror movie where everyone dresses up like it's 1890.
