Wiki.
Lucifer's Women is a 1974 American exploitation horror film directed by Paul Aratow and starring Larry Hankin, Jane Brunel-Cohen, Norman Pierce, and Paul Thomas. Its plot follows John Wainright, an acclaimed writer-turned-illusionist who, after researching the occult, comes to find he is a reincarnation of Svengali; he subsequently comes to assist his publisher, Stephen, in courting Trilby, a naive nightclub dancer, to become a human sacrifice in Stephen's Satanic cult.
Loosely based on the 1894 George du Maurier novel Trilby, the film was completed in 1974, and premiered theatrically under the alternate title Svengali the Magician in December 1974 in San Francisco. It was later released as Lucifer's Women in 1977.
In 1978, director Al Adamson salvaged footage from the film and reworked it into an entirely different feature titled Doctor Dracula, which starred John Carradine. The media label Vinegar Syndrome released Lucifer's Women on Blu-ray in 2018, marking the film's first home video release. Prior to this, Lucifer's Women had been thought to be a lost film.
