Her body is shown again later on in a lengthy sequence when Barry retrieves his tie-pin from her hand after sneaking back onto the produce truck where he had hidden her body. (Nudity alert: Topless & rear, body doubled)
The Vault of Horror (Tales from the Crypt Part II) (1973) [Donna Rogers]: Stabbed by her brother (Daniel Massey) in her home; because she is a vampire, this does not kill her, but she plays dead to avoid giving herself away.
