I can only speak about the "Fangs Of The Living Dead" version (which is the one more readily available on DVD), not the longer "Malenka" version: avoid it. Not only is the picture quality poor for a 1969 film, but this version features virtually no blood or nudity, making it a PG horror film. The head vampire in it is extremely weak - he can't even break through a wooden door, and at the end he is defeated by a single punch! About 90% of the movie (no exaggeration!) is taken up by discussions about whether vampires are real, as if the title (which sounds suspiciously similar to the previous year's hit "Night of....") wasn't enough of a clue. Anita Ekberg's justifiably famous cleavage is on brief display, and in the last 3 minutes there is a short but sweet catfight between Diana Lorys and Adriana Ambesi. But those are the only parts of the film worth seeing. I suppose the castle itself is an atmospheric location, but the film lacks atmosphere. *1/2 out of 4.
