Mother Riley Meets the Vampire, also known as Vampire Over London or My Son, the Vampire, is a 1952 British horror comedy film directed by John Gilling, starring Arthur Lucan and Bela Lugosi that was filmed at Nettlefold Studios.[2]

This was the final film of the Old Mother Riley film series, and did not feature Lucan's wife and business partner Kitty McShane, from whom he had separated in 1951. The film was later released in the U.S. in 1963 as My Son, the Vampire.

In the film, a self-described vampire wants to built an army of robots to fulfill his goal of world domination. His only functional robot is accidentally shipped to Mother Riley. The vampire proceeds to kidnap Mother Riley.
