'''''Malenka, the Vampire's Niece''' is a 1969 horror film that was written and directed by Spanish director Amando de Ossorio; it was his first horror film.
One of the first vampire films from Spain, it was inspired by similarly themed Italian and British vampire films that were being released during the same time period, such as Dance of the Vampires''. It has been credited as being "the 1969 picture that hammered the final nail into the cinematic coffin of the bomb-shelter-era bombshell Anita Ekberg", as well as being "one of the most original gothic examples of Spanish horror".
