Hammer star Katya Wyeth - Top of the Pops album covers

I didn't realise that this was former German model and actress the lovely Katya Wyeth until I came across her name on a website dedicated to the 'Top of the Pops' LPs. Well I thought I would feature these 2 covers as a follow up to the post I did not so long ago on 'Non-genre records with a genre connection'.
Katya featured in a number of horror films which include 'Hands of the Ripper' (1971) [1st pub Whore], 'Twins of evil' (1971) [Countess Mircalla], 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971) [Girl in Ascot Fantasy], 'Burke and Hare' (1972) [Natalie], 'Straight on till morning' (1972) [Caroline] and 'Dead of Night' [TV series] (1972) ep.'Death cancels all debts' [Vanessa].
Volume 23

Good find. I remember her being a bit naughty with the candle holder in Twins of Evil. A bit naff but a good film. Unfortunately, Hammer was on the slide by then.

I love the scene where she rises from the dead and walk towards count Karnstein in Twins of Evuil, but just how is she brought back? We see blood running down the side of the, I suppose, sarcophacus, but how does it reach the corpse of Mircalla?
