Two films I expect the fans here will easily identify the titles of which elude me, both 1970s horror, haven't seen in 30 years:

One is the story of a Vietnam vet who comes home a kind-of vampire, spends alot of time rocking in a rocking chair, is distant and creepy to his family, and kills people to transfuse their blood into himself . . . ? 

Second, a film crew is working in an old estate or castle making a movie, murders happen, a zombie like dead guy is resurrected, kills everybody left, rescues the corpse of a beautiful nude girl floating in a stream on the estate and at the very end carries her back down into his own grave presumably for company. . .? 

The first is probably Dead of Night aka Death Dream.

DEAD OF NIGHT . . . that's it.  Thank you Shadowfyre!  It's a good low budgetter, but I haven't seen it in a very long time (but still remember it well!) 

Now if only someone can come up with the second flick! 

I agree on the identity of the first film. 

Your second film is, quite possibly, "The House of Seven Corpses."

The second one could also be "Ruby".  It has a projectionist crew showing movies (almost a film crew), an old mansion, and a woman dragged into a lake at the end by a skeleton.

EDIT:  Oh, I seem to have misread your description.  You said he carries her to his GRAVE not back into the water.  It probably isn't Ruby, then.

Just in case, here's a synopsis and screen caps to jog your memory:

Thank you all for your input.  The second film is HOUSE OF SEVEN CORPSES . . . I remember John Ireland was in it. 

I'll third it as "The House of Seven Corpses." There are a couple of other well known names associated with the film: John Carradine and Faith Domerque.
