Brief Description  The Blood Beast Terror (originally filmed in 1967 and released in February 1968) is a British Gothic horror film directed by Vernon Sewell and produced by Tony Tenser's Tigon British Film Productions. In the United States, it was distributed under alternative titles, most notably The Vampire-Beast Craves Blood. The film is famously remembered for its highly unusual monster—a humanoid, blood-drinking "were-moth"—and for starring horror icon Peter Cushing, who later reportedly regarded it as one of the worst films of his career.

Plot:
The story is set in the late 19th-century English countryside, where a series of gruesome murders has terrified a rural community. Several young men have been found brutally slaughtered, their bodies mutilated and completely drained of blood. Detective Inspector Quennell (Peter Cushing) is brought in from Scotland Yard to solve the crimes. At the crime scenes, Quennell uncovers clues that baffle standard police work, including strange, giant scales scattered near the bodies. He also takes testimony from a traumatized carriage driver who claims the killer is a massive, winged creature that flies away into the night. Seeking scientific expertise, Quennell consults an eccentric local entomology professor, Dr. Carl Mallinger (Robert Flemyng).

Unknown to the inspector, Mallinger is a mad geneticist who has successfully engineered a creature capable of shifting between a beautiful young woman and a giant Deathshead Moth. The monster masquerades as Mallinger's fetching daughter, Clare (Wanda Ventham). Driven by an insatiable, vampire-like craving for blood, Clare seduces young men in her human form before transforming into the giant moth to feed on them. As Quennell inches closer to the truth, his own daughter, Meg (Vanessa Howard), is put in peril. Mallinger seeks to create a giant male mate for Clare to perpetuate the species. The investigation culminates in a fiery showdown where the creature is ultimately destroyed by fire—the natural weakness of a moth.
