What happens

Goliath and the Vampires (Italian: Maciste contro il vampiro) is a 1961 Italian peplum film directed by Sergio Corbucci and Giacomo Gentilomo. The film features the famed superhero Maciste as its main character, although the American release changes his name to Goliath, as American International Pictures felt that the name "Maciste" was not significant to American audiences.
