When film producers Hal Bellew (Sam Jaffe) and Morty Lenton (Robert H. Harris) decide to revive the horror movie genre, they reach out to washed up actor Ernst von Kroft (Richard Hale). Only thing is, they camp things up around the star of 'Vampire From Hell', and the resulting flick causes a teen audience at the premiere to crack up hysterically. Humiliated, von Kroft seeks his revenge by planting his fangs into Morty's neck. However in doing a swan dive off a balcony in the direction of Hal, the aging actor also puts the final nail into the coffin of his career. Which might not have been the worst thing, because as a Dracula knock-off, he would have been right at home. You have to hand it to Hitchcock though, he presented this episode book-ended by a swarm of harem girls, even allowing one of them to have the last word.
