What happens

Lilith and Ly (German: Lilith und Ly) is a 1919 lost Austrian vampire film directed by Erich Kober and written by Fritz Lang. The film combines the vampire legend with that of the golem. The film is a rare example from the 1910s of depicting a vampire as an explicitly supernatural blood consuming being, instead of depicting it symbolically. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
