Blood Mania is a 1970 American horror film[2] written by Peter Carpenter and Tony Crechales and directed by Robert Vincent O'Neil, and starring Carpenter, Maria De Aragon, Vicki Peters, Reagan Wilson, Jacqueline Dalya, and Alex Rocco. The film stars Carpenter as a doctor whose mistress, an heiress, murders her terminally ill father to help him pay off a debt.

Released in the fall of 1970, the film would go on to be featured as a double bill with 1961's Bloodlust!.[3] According to star Vicki Peters, the house the film was shot in was formerly owned by Bela Lugosi.[4]
