“And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we deal with vampires in old London Town,'.    - Ben Aaronovitch in Rivers of LondonWe start this episode in the London neighborhood of Highgate. It's famous cemetery, exuding Victorian design and extravagance, is the setting for our first story, about a potential paranormal experience and the long term metaphysical feud that resulted.We'll delve into mainstream horror cinema of the 1950s and 60s from London's own Hammer Films, with special emphasis on its vampiric offerings. In Dracula, Bram Stoker's count moved far and wide around the city. We'll trace his footsteps and learn hidden coding to the novel's London locations.What's a modern vampire to do in the city?  We highlight some haunts for those interested in exploring the city as a creature of the night. And, as intro, we share a brief memorial to our late, beloved pod-pup, Boo. Photos, links and more at our SHOW NOTES here. 

"The House That Dripped Blood" is a 1971 British anthology horror film directed by Peter Duffell and distributed by Amicus Productions. The film is a collection of four short stories, each concerning a series of inhabitants of the eponymous building.   Denholm Elliott appears in the segment "Method for Murder," playing Charles Hillyer. He is joined by Joanna Dunham, who portrays Alice Hillyer, Charles' wife.   Peter Cushing stars in the segment "Waxworks," portraying Philip Grayson. Joss Ackland (known for "Lethal Weapon 2," "Watership Down," and "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey," among over 100 other films) plays Neville Rogers, Grayson's friend. Wolfe Morris appears as the Waxworks Proprietor.   Christopher Lee appears in the segment "Sweets to the Sweet," playing John Reid. He is joined by Nyree Dawn Porter (star of "The Forsyte Saga," who turned down the lead female role in "The Avengers") as Ann Norton, the tutor hired to care for Reid's daughter.   Jon Pertwee features in the segment "The Cloak," portraying Paul Henderson. Ingrid Pitt plays Carla Lind, Henderson's co-star and love interest in the vampire film they're working on.   All of the stories were written by Robert Bloch, best known as the writer of "Psycho." Bloch wrote hundreds of short stories and over 30 novels and was a protégé of H. P. Lovecraft.      Amicus films are sometimes mistaken for the output of Hammer Films due to their similar visual style and use of some of the same actors. However, unlike the period gothic Hammer films, Amicus productions were usually set in the present day.    In the Second World War, Denholm Elliott (famous to this podcast for his titular role as the Signalman in the BBC "Ghost Story for Christmas," podcast episode 21) joined the Royal Air Force, training as a wireless operator/air gunner in 1942. His aircraft was hit by flak and subsequently ditched in the North Sea. Elliott and four of his crewmen survived, and he spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft VIIIb, a prisoner-of-war camp.         Later, Pertwee was attached to the top-secret Naval Intelligence Division, working alongside future James Bond author (and of course Big Chris Lee's cousin) Ian Fleming and reporting directly to Prime Minister Winston Churchill. In 1967, he was chosen by "Dad's Army" producer David Croft for the role of Captain Mainwaring, but Pertwee turned it down. In 1969, Pertwee asked his agent to apply for the role of Doctor Who and was surprised to find he was already on the shortlist. He was the second choice for the role; Ron Moody was the first but was unavailable.    Jon Pertwee later claimed that "The House That Dripped Blood" was meant to be a comedy-horror film and was initially filmed in that way. However, during the production, "the producer came in, took one look at what we are doing, and went raving mad," insisting it be a horror film and not a comedy. This change meant a shift in tone, but the material already filmed remained, resulting in the film dipping in quality and edits to remove comedy elements from Pertwee's sequences. He also admitted that he intentionally based his character on his co-star and friend Christopher Lee. In a scene where Jon's character talks about favourite roles, he says that he prefers Bela Lugosi's Dracula rather than "the chap who plays him nowadays."

The podcast's 600th episode has arrived. With its arrival, the team put up a poll on our Facebook group asking listeners to choose the topic. With a choice of 16 movies that the co-hosts came up with, the 1973 classic horror film, THE WICKER MAN, was chosen. “Come. It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man.”Police officer Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) head's to Summerisle Island off the Scottish coast when he receives a harrowing letter about a missing girl. On his arrival, he discovers a strange society following a pagan sect. It's a land very dissimilar to the mainland. May Day and a celebration of sexual freedom, the land is ruled by Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). During his search for the missing girl, an ominous conspiracy begins to form around his investigation and his life may be endangered.The movie also stars A-listers Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, and Ingrid Pitt. THE WICKER MAN was directed by Robin Hardy and written by Anthony Snell. With its unforgettable ending, the film has become iconic and has been the father of so many more folk horror films including MIDSOMMAR (2019) among others. Your co-hosts take a look at this classic film and give their thoughts.

And so to our third show for this year's Halloween specials. No tricks, this all treats.  The At The Flicks team talk to Paul Scott about his love for Hammer films and his friendship with main Hammer scriptwriter Anthony Hinds. Hammer films.  The makers of some of the best horror movies of the 60's and 70's.  Quintessentially British, gothic, with high production values (although cheap to make) and starring such luminaries as Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.  And the creatures they gave life to.  Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Werewolf, Zombies and numerous other horror creations besides. Then there is Anthony Hinds. The scriptwriter and driving force behind so many of the classics they created. Yes, this is an in depth look at Hammer horror, with personal reminiscences.  We talk to Paul about the character actors Hammer frequently employed, such as the late great Michael Ripper.  The leading ladies (of course) such as Ingrid Pitt and Veronica Carlston.  All of this spiced up with various behind the scenes making of stories.  Finally we chat about their amazing composer James Bernard.   For those of a certain age, this is a big trip down memory lane – anyone remember the late night horror double films the BBC used to put on during the Summer months?  Yes, when we were growing up Hammer films were the company that terrified us and why it has such a huge cult following today.  We hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoyed speaking to Paul about all things Hammer. All that remains to be said is have a very happy Halloween and see you At The Flicks.

One of the most iconic production companies in the history of horror, Hammer's productions and various sequels and spin-offs of Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman and the mummy are not just beloved by generations of genre fans but have endured just as the Universal Studios monster films have and become a lauded part of cinema history. And Hammer didn't just do classic monsters! Some of their original films such as “The Devil Rides Out” and “Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter” showed that Hammer wasn't afraid to step outside their formula. Hammer also provided career-making roles for several of the genres most beloved stars with Christopher Lee's towering take on Dracula and Peter Cushing's often scene-stealing performances as Doctor Frankenstein and Van Helsing. The studio also had its share of dynamic leading ladies with legends such as Ingrid Pitt, Stephanie Beacham and Barbara Shelley. And that's barely scratching the surface. Our guest in this episode is one of Hammer's great leading ladies. And a Bond Girl. And a Scream Queen. Today we are joined by the radiant and brilliant, Caroline Munro. Caroline was one of few actors to be signed to a contract by Hammer, something that wasn't really a practice for the studio but they knew what they had with Caroline. An actor whose beauty is matched by her chops, her presence and her character.  Caroline discusses her approach to the acting process, what she learned by working off screen legends such as Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Richard Widmark, the insecurity that is possessed by almost all actors and stealing scenes at the Cannes Film Festival with the great Joe Spinell. Let's bare our fangs and get ready to dance on a Sunday with Caroline Munro!  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Drusilla watched Ashes and Diamonds before the duo gets into the most iconic folk horror film, The Wicker Man!  From wiki: “The Wicker Man is a 1973 British folk horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Christopher Lee. The screenplay is by Anthony Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, and Paul Giovanni composed the film score.[6][7] The plot centers on the visit of a police officer, Sergeant Neil Howie, to the isolated Scottish island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.[8] Also discussed: ACAB, workers' rights, folk horror, Neil L*bute, The Wicker Tree, Lair of the White Worm, Robin Hardy, folk horror in the UK vs the US, classism, Julius Caesar, Nothing But Trouble, Catholicism, Derry Girls, The Last of Sheila, Stephen Sondheim's torture dungeon,  NEXT WEEK: Orgasmo aka Paranoia (1969)Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.com         Drusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/ Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/ Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/Joshua's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoshuaConkel Joshua's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkel    

It's time to keep your appointment with The Film ‘89 Podcast as Skye is joined by returning guest hosts John Arminio and Steven Saunders to celebrate the 50th anniversary of cult British horror film, The Wicker Man (1973). Director Robin Hardy's film stars Edward Woodward as Scottish police sergeant Neil Howie who ventures to the remote Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. Sgt Howie's investigation turns into a cat and mouse chase that culminates in one of the most bone chilling endings in all of horror cinema. That said, the bulk of the film refuses to follow standard horror conventions and remains one of the most unique British films ever made, truly one of a kind. Featuring Britt Ekland, Ingrid Pitt, Diane Cilento and a superlative performance from screen legend Christopher Lee, Hardy's folk horror classic remains a film like no other, and one that gets the usual passionate and in-depth analysis you've come to expect from the Film ‘89 team in this definitive exploration and examination of The Wicker Man.

"Broadsword calling Danny Boy"Growing up, the only Danny Boy I was familiar with was the song sung by the family at special occasions like funerals. Before I knew it, sure wasn't it the calling card for this Richard Burton classic.A classic on so many levels, firstly the cast. Bringing together Burton and Eastwood was a stroke of genius. Mary Ure was another excellent casting decision alongside Ingrid Pitt. The score by Ron Goodwin so easily recognisable and the action. Coordinated by JOE POWELL with 2nd Unit Directed by YAKIMA CANUTT.Here I discuss the action with stuntwoman GILLIAN ALDAM who doubled Mary Ure and JIM DOWDALL who worked for Bapty, the armourers at the time, but got himself involved on the picture.EnjoyIf you've enjoyed this episode then why not follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook using the following linkhttps://linktr.ee/behindthestunts

The Wicker Man is a 1973 British folk horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Big Chris Lee. In his 7th appearance on The General Witchfinders. The screenplay by Anthony (frenzy) Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, centres on the visit of Police Sergeant Neil Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.The movie is well-regarded by critics. Film magazine Cinefantastique described it as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies", and in 2004, Total Film magazine named The Wicker Man the sixth greatest British film of all time, and during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony the film was included as part of a sequence that celebrated British cinema.In 1989, Shaffer wrote a script treatment for The Loathsome Lambton Worm, a direct sequel with fantasy elements. Hardy had no interest in the project, and it was never produced. In 2006, an ill-received American remake was released, from which Hardy and others involved with the original have dissociated themselves. In 2011, a spiritual sequel directed by Hardy entitled The Wicker Tree, was released and featured Lee in a cameo appearance.Television actor Edward Woodward was cast in the role of Sergeant Neil Howie after the part was declined by both Michael York and David Hemmings. In Britain, Woodward was best known for the role of Callan, which he played from 1967 to 1972. After The Wicker Man, Woodward went on to receive international attention for his roles in the 1980 film Breaker Morant and the 1980s TV series The Equalizer.The film was produced at a time of crisis for the British film industry. The studio in charge of production, British Lion Films, was in financial trouble and was bought by wealthy businessman John Bentley. To convince the unions that he was not about to asset-strip the company, Bentley needed to get a film into production quickly. This meant that The Wicker Man, a film set during spring, actually began filming in October 1972: artificial leaves and blossoms had to be glued to trees in many scenes. The production was kept on a small budget. Christopher Lee was extremely keen to get the film made; he and others worked on the production without pay,(Something he seems very keen to mention at every opportunity). While filming took place, British Lion was bought by EMI Films.Iron Maiden released a single called The Wicker Man from their Brave New World album in tribute to the classic film.$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$ Just in case anyone has too much money and wants to give a bit to us to help with our hosting n stuff.

Boyd Transcript [Intro Music] JAZZA:  Welcome to the Queer Movie Podcast, celebrating the best. ROWAN:  And worst. JAZZA:  In LGBTQ+ cinema. One glorious genre at a time. ROWAN:  I'm Rowan Ellis. JAZZA:  And I'm Jazza John. Each episode we discuss a movie from a different genre of cinema. ROWAN:  This episode, genre is-- ROWAN & JAZZA:  Queer Horror..  JAZZA:  [vampire laugh] ROWAN:  Thanks, Jazza. JAZZA:  But, before we dive into this week's episode, Rowan, what's the gayest thing you've done since we last spoke? ROWAN:  Well, this is actually something that I've wanted to do for a long time. But every time I've tried to do it, there's been a It's not been available for me. And that is volunteering for a Queer Organization specifically for a Queer Youth Group or kind of youth mentoring organization, something like that. And there's, sadly not a lot of them in London, and a lot of them kind of were at capacity or weren't doing their services because of COVID. But at the beginning of the year, I applied and I've just found out today that I've been accepted, so I'm very excited. I've got to do some training, obviously, very soon, but yeah, I'm gonna get to do some mentoring. JAZZA:  It's gonna be so cool. And you're officially becoming a Queer Elder-- ROWAN:  Oh my God. JAZZA:  --soon anyway, aren't you? ROWAN:  Yeah, I am. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  In a week's time, I will indeed hit 30 and therefore-- JAZZA:  Good then. ROWAN:  --become an OAP. JAZZA:  Uh-huh. As a as a cis gay man, I stopped aging at 24. So let me know-- ROWAN:  You never will reach that, yeah, I'll let you know what it's like. JAZZA:  Awesome. Thank you so much. ROWAN:  And Jazza, what's the gayest thing that you've done since we last spoke? JAZZA:  So recently, the UK started lifting lockdown restrictions, right? And we were able to have familiar relations again. I had relations with an individual and was able for the first time to actually complete a full session of prep. Do you know how prep works? ROWAN:  I was wondering where you were going with it. I was like, complete a full session of what? JAZZA:  Yeah, it's not session-- ROWAN:  --[2:00] I was like a full, a full session of-- JAZZA:  A full of [2:03] like a-- ROWAN:  --[2:03] relations, you able to what? JAZZA:  I full cycle, a full cycle of [2:06]. ROWAN:  Pretty you. JAZZA:  So I do have that you're able to get it on the NHS now. And it is for anybody who doesn't know a medication that prevents you from getting HIV. And how it works is you're meant to take it two hours before you have relations. And then afterwards you've had relations in order to properly protect yourself. In the past, I have only ever prepared to have the relations and never had to complete the whole cycle of prep. ROWAN:  Oh my God, that's the saddest thing I've ever heard, that's hilarious. JAZZA:  Is it. ROWAN:  You know what, that was excellent. That was a very good-- JAZZA:  Thank you-- ROWAN:  --gayest thing I've done since [2:42]-- JAZZA:  Yeah yeah yeah. I feel like an actual adult now. ROWAN:  Look at you. JAZZA:  [2:45] yeah, look at me. Man in my 30s, finally able to look after myself. ROWAN:  Full disclosure to everyone listening, Jazza as he said that grinning like a little schoolboy does have a tiny gnome figurine right behi--as he said, I felt like such an adult. There is a tiny gnome figurine right behind him. JAZZA:  I'm an adult who collects plushies and plays D&D like these are-- ROWAN:  You know what, fair enough. JAZZA:  Yeah, these are not things that are mutually exclusive. ROWAN:  Yeah, you know what, you're right. [3:09] [Transition Music] JAZZA:  The film we have chosen for today is the 1970s vampiric Gothic horror masterpiece. The Vampire Lovers, starring Ingrid Pitt, and the absolute legendary Peter Cushing. So without further ado, let's start nibbling away at Roy Ward Baker's, The Vampire Lovers. ROWAN & JAZZA:  [trumpet sound] ROWAN:  Are you anticipating some kind of like dramatic horror music [3:47]-- JAZZA:  Yeah, in my head like it's the the title card. ROWAN:  Excellent. JAZZA:  I actually, vampire [3:53]. ROWAN:  I know we just said that we were going to go straight into talking about the history of the genre and the-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --context of it. But I just also need everyone to know not to make this the call out Jazza Podcast. But-- JAZZA:  It it already is. ROWAN:  --I came up with a whole list of, honestly, iconic wonderful, queer horror movies have come out. Especially some in the last few years. Because we have had an absolute amazing blossoming of queer horror within the last few years. I came up with an amazing shortlist. Jazza, came up with a movie that I immediately vetoed. That is the movie lesbian Vampire Killers. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. Which has James-- ROWAN:  Which has-- JAZZA:  Corden in it. ROWAN:  --James Corden in it, is therefore I hate crime. And I immediately vetoed it. And then the list Jazza went through the list and it. Basically the secret came out that Jazza is a massive baby. And essentially would just was not able to watch an actual horror movie. And so-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --we have watched this movie, which is, horror in the most technical sense of the word. JAZZA:  No, but it's like, it's it's a lot of foundations of horror, like, like it's a classic Gothic, lots of dark cobwebby castles. Lots of screen Queens, a couple of screen Kings. ROWAN:  Yes, every element of horror except the bit where it's scary, which I think suited Jazza just fine. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  I think that was-- JAZZA:  100% ROWAN:  --that was, I think he's very pleased with himself that he managed to get this. Because the other, we watched some of the trailers together. And there were a few trailers that Jazz stopped halfway through and went, "Oh, yes, I think we get the idea." And then, and it was very obvious why. JAZZA:  Apparently, I'm quite good to watch horror movies with. Just know that if you ever watch a a legitimate horror movie with me, that is actually scary. I'm not having a nice time. And you know what, in this podcast that I am lucky enough to have with you, Rowan. I want to have a nice time, you know? And I don't think that's too much to ask. ROWAN:  Okay, well, when we connect, spend actual time together, maybe I'll just I'll be like, oh, yeah, let's watch this nice little, like animated children's movie and then just slip in a horror movie instead. You could just hold onto my hand. JAZZA:  Maybe next year's Halloween, we can have a special episode again. And you couldn't actually scare the hell out of me, it will be good. ROWAN:  Yeah, if everyone could just audio clip Jazza, just then essentially promising on his on his firstborn son that he will watch a horror movie with me, that'd be great. So I know that Jazza, you've done normally when we watch these movies, we do a little bit of context. And then we talk to each other and go, oh, wait, shit, did we do the same context maybe hopefully, we looked up different bits of trivia otherwise is going to be very boring for both of us. And luckily, we had kind of done a mix. So I know that you've looked up Hammer Horror, which is the kind of studio and very specific niche genre that this particular movie is in. So would you like to tell me about it? I'm ready to learn.  JAZZA:  Yeah yeah yeah, so a Hammer, also great name, Hammer Productions. They were a production house in the UK, who were famous for bringing a lot of classic horror from the black and white era of the 1930s into color. We making a lot of the classics like Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, etc. Remaking them into color movies for audiences throughout the 1950s and 60s. The other thing that they were very well known for doing is having a butt ton of sequels for everything. So this particular movie that we're doing. The Vampire Lovers, has two sequels to it. Lust for a Vampire, released the following year, and then Twins of Evil. Which as far as I have been able to find out on the Wikipedia page was just kind of like the same plot two more times, but with different actors. But to be fair, if the punters are going to go and watch it, then why not right? The reason the The Vampire Lovers itself is quite interesting, and is that a little bit of a tipping point in terms of cinema, is because it was towards the end of the strictness of the Hays Code in the US, which is a piece of us legislation that was very tight collared, around the depictions of sex, nudity, deviant acts like homosexuality. ROWAN:  I'm gonna be annoying and interrupt here is the Queer Film Historian bitch on this podcast. Because I think it's genuinely interesting. It wasn't technically a piece of like Governmental Legislation as such, it was a code that was self-imposed by Hollywood on itself, specifically, because they thought that the government will be even more harsh, so they were like, oh, shit, like, let let's just, we promise no titties, no gays, no, no-- JAZZA: No titties, no gays. ROWAN:  [8:39] for gays, we promise. And and so yeah, no, it's it's a, it's one of those kind of really interesting things actually happened with the comic, comic books as well, the Comic Code Authority happened as well. JAZZA:  Mmm. ROWAN:  A lot of industries at the time were like, well, I guess if someone's gonna do it, it might as well be us, to ourselves. JAZZA:   Uh-hmm. Yeah yeah yeah. And this was kind of like, towards the end of the prolific nature of the Hays Code. And it was still actually really hard to get this past the censors. The Vampire Lovers, which obviously, is pretty gay. There's naked ladies and there's titties absolutely everywhere. And there's also a man who dies while he's having a piss. So it's not really kind of like the highest brow of entertainment. But the reason that they were able to get especially the the gay shit through the censors, even at the time as they were expanding. Was because it was based on the original source text from the 1800s, Carmilla, which is like a classic text. And because it's seen as a classic text, they were like, actually, this is basically Shakespeare. I don't think anybody actually said that. But essentially, that's how they managed to to get around it. ROWAN:  Just being true to the original. JAZZA:  Yeah yeah, exactly. But yeah, we're watching a a movie about lesbian vampires. Of course, there's going to be a little bit of a camper and Gothic horror is always just a little bit of camp. But it's also a really interesting moment in kind of like the attitudes of prudishness, that were in Hollywood throughout the 50s and 60s. ROWAN:  Absolutely. I do, I do agree with you like Hammer Horror is just camp, it's just campy. Like it just has that energy to it in general-- JAZZA:  It is now. ROWAN:  --and I think as well like well, we'll talk about this when we're actually talking about the plot and the performances and stuff in the next section. But yeah, the acting of the time was not exactly the most based in like realism. And and I think that that style of acting that was popular then I think just is so imbued with camp-- JAZZA:  Uh-huh. ROWAN:  --as you look back on it now. Even if this hadn't had a load of vampires in it, I feel like it still would have felt a little bit-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --kind of queer energy. JAZZA:  A 100%. It reminded me an awful lot of like Ryan Murphy guy. ROWAN:  Oh, yeah. JAZZA:  Which obviously is referential to this era of horror. And I was like, Oh, I 100% understand where all of these references now come from in, like our modern media as well. Rowan, you had, a you also went away and did some of your own research you clever bookworm slash website were around like, vampires, sexuality, all of those things. Would you end up fine, come on, show and tell. ROWAN:  Well, basically, for those for those who don't know about the history of the vampire, it's kind of appears in a lot of different folktales and legends around different places. Just I think the idea of someone who needs to drain other people of their blood, which is very much linked to like, you know, lifeforce in a lot of cultures. It makes sense that there will be kind of mythology around that, and and kind of scary tales, and all that kind of thing. But it kind of didn't necessarily get a kind of literary grounding until the early 1800s. Were John Polidori, wrote The Vampyre, which was actually created kind of as part of the sort of Gothic horror writing contest that also produced, Frankenstein. It was a good, it was a good time that they were having in that rainy manor house. And kind of interestingly, the history of vampires, I think, has not necessarily been, obviously in the mainstream link to queerness. But when you start looking into the history of it, it's a lot of like reading between the lines when it's going on. So, for example, that original text of Vampyre, a lot of people kind of thought that potentially the that kind of central character was based on Lord Byron. There was a bit of a mix up as to who had originally written the tale. And it was attributed Lord Byron originally and then kind of had to be redacted. And so you kind of have this element of like, oh, there's this creeping queerness in there. And that only became like, more intensified when it came to Dracula, which came a bit later. Because again, Bram Stoker, lots of rumors about him being gay, he had a very close relationship with Oscar Wilde. He wrote some frankly, adoring love letters to Walt Whitman, really, really, very gay letters to Walt Whitman. And there are just some quotes that come up in the book that feel very much like they are centered around the kind of repressed, a repressed homosexuality-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --shall we say. A lot of people have pointed out the fact that he basically started to write Dracula very, very soon after Oscar Wilde's trial and conviction. And that there was potentially a link between that and like the anxieties of being this like queer man who was worried about being like, discovered. So obviously, as with much of queer history, it is not provable. But I do think it's very interesting. And it's something a lot of people have have talked about. But yeah, I think vampire stories in general, as well as being kind of horror, obviously have a lot of links to the idea of sexuality, and and sexual anxieties, I guess over the years. JAZZA:  When we're looking at this area as well. It's really difficult to kind of like put the gay label on it. Because it wasn't a term that they used for themselves-- ROWAN:  No. JAZZA:  --either, but we're just kind of trying to view it for our own lens. ROWAN:  Yeah, exactly. So in Dracula, for example, you've got Lucy, the character of Lucy, who's this kind of like symbol of the new woman. So kind of more independent and breaking free of the constraints of society, especially sexual constraints. And so if she sort of gives herself or is compromised by this kind of foreign invader, then she becomes this corrupted figure, which is very, you know, if you read through the lines, metaphorically, it's very much a sort of like fallen woman virginity loss kind of situation. And then yeah, I mean, spoiler alert for Dracula, but she ends up being staked by like, all of the men who she had been pursuing at one point or another during the story, and dies-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --this death that's very, like writhing around and bleeding, and it's very kind of like, you know, symbolically resonant in a lot of ways. So yeah, I think I think that like even if you come to Twilight, or to more modern depictions of vampires, it doesn't necessarily have a Victorians lens of sexuality. It has a modern lens, but it's still feels like it might be commenting in some way. So there's a lot more sort of, in the vampire as the romantic lead for women's or like girls fiction, it becomes much more about a man who needs to control his natural impulses, and that he's able to do it for you. The female love interest. JAZZA:  That's the Twilight stuff isn't? ROWAN:  Exactly. JAZZA:  I'll be honest, I wasn't even I wasn't even making that link in like, I feel like Twilight is such a long time ago now. ROWAN:  Ancient history. JAZZA:  Yeah, yeah. But like, seriously, but yeah, I didn't even make that link of kind of like sexual request-ness. But then I haven't really read, I haven't read any of the Twilight books, I've only seen the movie. So maybe that's why it's not at the front of my mind. ROWAN:  Well, allegedly Stephenie Meyer did come up with the idea from some kind of romantically charged dream that she had. And she is quite from quite a religious background. So I think that the sexual repression and morality element to it is, it's not has not been not commented on by people in the past. So yeah, so I definitely think that the vampire legend and mythology and stuff has always had links to sex in some way and to that kind of forbidden element of sex. And I think that that only gets more apparent when you talk about sex that is genuinely forbidden and taboo in the way that kind of same gender relationships might be. So yeah, it completely makes sense, lesbian vampires completely make sense on a literary level. And it very much is not just a kind of, ohhh, she's sexy, and she's a lesbian, and she's a vampire. It's like, oh, there is actually some kind of literary backing to making this a a thing in your films. JAZZA:  Did you have because I accidentally came across this while I was looking through stuff around the source material for The Vampire Lovers, which is like a a vampire novel that predates Dracula by a couple of decades called Carmilla. About a lesbian female vampire. And apparently she's based on this Hungarian, I believe she's a Princess. She's a fancy person, uhm, called Elizabeth Boothroyd. Have you seen her a bit about her? ROWAN:  If this is who I think it is? Yeah, I think she married into a family and got an absolute ton of land and power from it and use that to allegedly just kill a lot of servant girls, and some minor nobility. JAZZA:  Some set I don't think we have to say allegedly anymore. This was in like the the 15, 16 [16:54]-- ROWAN:  She's not gonna [16:55]-- JAZZA:  [16:56] I think we're gonna get sued by Elizabeth III of Hungary fame, but she apparently killed up to 650 people and there was some people who say that she used to bathe in their blood to maintain like youth? Some of this is urban legends now, and there's some people that say that she inspired because she was from the Kingdom of Hungary. Which at that time included, Slovakia and Romania, which is kind of like the part of the world that is where like, vampiric culture comes from, I guess? And some people even suggest that she inspired Carmilla and Dracula. But yeah, like, it's an interesting part of kind of like also the, the empowered woman as well, which was definitely, I mean, deviant for the time that vampire novels became really, really big in the Victorian era. But certainly for like the 1500-1600s when she was alive, as well. And kind of like the fear and the weariness of the empowered, maybe sexualized women as well. I kind of like themes that run through this type of horror too. ROWAN:  Indeed, without I guess, should we go into talking about the actual movie and how the lesbian vampires sort of displays herself. JAZZA:  Displays herself. ROWAN:  Displays herself in this movie JAZZA:  Sometimes literally displays herself-- ROWAN:  Quite literally. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. [18:15] [Transition Music] [18:15] [ADS] JAZZA:  Dear listener, there's only so many times you can lean on your ability to make a [18:25] gin and tonic. Trust me, I've had the headaches to prove it. Sometimes you need to shake up your drinks trolley, pun intended, and shaker and spoon subscription cocktail box is the perfect way to do that. Each box they send you contains enough ingredients to make three different cocktails with your favorite Spirits. All you need is to buy your own bottle and then you have all you need to craft 12 cocktails at home. It's between 40 and 50 of your American dollars every month, excluding the price of the bottle you buy. So is a sensible way to expand your drinking palette. You can even skip boxes or cancel whenever you like, my darlin'. Imagine if you will, clowning around some popcorn with your loved ones and a fancy cocktail in hand.

And I'm very excited to recommend to you X0 Law. In case you haven't noticed yet, Rowan and I are big nerds. Rowan has her Disney and D&D, I have my love of Final Fantasy in the expanse novels. So this podcast is like catnip to us. Dr. Moyer McTeer is the host and as the coolest job description of Astrophysicist and folklorist. Which honestly, has made wondering what I've been doing with my life. Each episode she goes through the how to of fictional world creation, meaning you can apply her findings to any and all creative projects that you yourself are working on. Are you creating a home route for your D&D table? Are you scribbling away on your first Sci-fi novel? Do you find this stuff interesting? That's fine, too. Honestly, it's necessary educational listening. I had a particularly fun time listening to Moyer and guest Clark Robinson go through the mechanics of building a world magic system. And I think you'll find it interesting too. So go give X0 Law a listen, and tell the doctor we sent you. Now, back to the show. [21:02] [Transition Music] ROWAN:  So we normally split this into three different parts. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  We haven't conferred beforehand about what those parts are going to look like for this particular movie. But I have a feeling that we have a very similar thru line. JAZZA:  Hmm. ROWAN:  The first part I have referred to, because there was only one way we could refer to this part, given that in so many other films that we have covered in our previous episodes. This was also the title of a section of the film. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  The Party and its Aftermath. JAZZA:  Yeah. 100% It starts with the party and its aftermath. It's very all interesting things start with a party, as does this movie. ROWAN:  Yeah, for some reason, so many stories. Normally, the party in its aftermath is the last act. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  Whereas in this one, it's, it's the first so essentially, what happens at the beginning of this movie is that we have this man who's narrating talking about the fact that his sister has died and he is going on this revenge plot. Castle ruins, evil European family, some very helpful vampire lore up front. He lets us-- JAZZA:  Uh-huh. ROWAN:  know you got to decapitate them. You got a stake in through the heart. We're getting a lot of exposition, but you know what, that's just how he rolls. JAZZA:  It was quick. It was quick and acceptable. I feel like you know, for [22:20]-- ROWAN:  Ding, ding, ding! Here we go. JAZZA:  But also, is anyone gonna come into something called The Vampire Lovers, cold as to what a vampire is. ROWAN:  Unlikely. JAZZA:  Like, I feel like most people are probably gonna know broadly, what a vampire is and how you kill it. ROWAN:  Exactly. So it's it's the classic star of the vampire killer is here. He's narrating to us what's about to happen. We have a very fast zoom in on a guy's neck with fang bites. The camera angles and uses within this movie are just very intense. They really love a good zoom in, dramatic zoom in. They really like a good kind of interesting shots, shall we say throughout this. Which I did, did think heighten the camp element. But with, yeah, very quintessential have a horror stuff. The evil figure of the vampire looked like I would say a Halloween sheet ghost costume, mixed with a Dementor. JAZZA:  Oh, well, you have ruined that now. I thought it looks like really quite impressive. ROWAN:  I did as well. Yeah, no, that isn't to diminish how-- JAZZA:  Okay, cool. ROWAN:  --creepy it did look. JAZZA:  Cool. I think that is an accurate description of what it was dressed as to be fair. ROWAN:  Yeah, I was like, you know what, if people aren't going to go back and watch this movie, if they're just listening this to to hear a little bit about lesbian vampires. I want to paint them a picture. And the picture is-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --a teenager. You know what I'm going to build on this picture. The picture is a teenager who has been asked by their parents to take out their little kid sister and the local sisters friends trick or treating at Halloween. He obviously is too cool for Halloween costumes at this point. He's at that age where it's not cool again. And it's it's, it was cool when he was a kid but he's like, he's he's 15 now, yeah? So he is like, "Urgh, fine!" And he goes into the airing covered and he just gets a sheet and he's like, "Are you happy now?" And he cuts it lies in the sheets. He doesn't care. It's that mix with a Dementor? JAZZA:  Uh-hmm, and lace. ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  There was lots of lakes. ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  Yeah, ROWAN:  If you just put that in your head. You've seen him, you can imagine it. JAZZA:  Yeah, 100%. I also love the like beyond just the vampire and the fact that it is a bedsheet. I love the rest of the costuming in this movie, but especially our narrator and the fact that he's there with kind of like his large Bejeweled ring, long sideburns and kind of like ruffled lace cuffs as well. And as he's got kind of got his hand up to his face in shock like, "Huh?!!", you see the rough come out of his sleeve. oh, and it's quite beautiful. It's it's beautiful [24:53], I love it. And all of that coupled with like the artificial fog on the clearly papier-mâché castle. The fake IV and the fact that it's all moonlit night time. I loved it. I was here for it. I felt like I was on a movie set because I was. ROWAN:  Oh yeah, I've completely agree with you there. My note that I made for this section was for a movie about lesbian vampires. We're getting a lot of this random dude. JAZZA:  Who disappears for-- ROWAN:  He disappears-- JAZZA:  --the rest of the movie, by the way. ROWAN:  --for most of the rest of the movie, he comes back at the end. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. Yeah, and comes back at the very end to ruin it with men. ROWAN:  Yes, well, I mean, what we don't want to give you any spoilers right now. You're gonna get spoilers in approximately how many minutes and take hours to get to the end act. The other note I made was vampire girl is cute and blonde has very shiny hair, please drop the routine. So I was thinking-- JAZZA:  I think, I think it's being, I think, I think the routine is being immortal. ROWAN:  You know what? That makes sense, that checks out. I will say, and we kind of briefly talked about this before we started to record. But the the effects were really good. The there's a computation that happens at this point, and genuinely very, very good special effects, very well-practical effects. JAZZA:  Yeah, like they had Madame Tussaud's head being like, cut off loads of blood everywhere. I laughed when the vampire was killed at the beginning of the movie. I'm sure people in 1970 may have been genuinely shocked. It's-- ROWAN:  Mmm. JAZZA:  --really difficult for me to put myself in the mindset of somebody in the 1970s. ROWAN:  I don't know whether someone in the 1970s didn't I I think they understood what movies were, Jazza. Like I don't think that they were that gonna be that shocked? I think. JAZZA:  It's not quite like in the 1920s when they first showed people a train covered [26:45]-- ROWAN:  Yeah and they ran away. JAZZA:  --and people ran out of the movie. Yeah, yeah yeah. ROWAN:  No, I think that, I think that there was like, it was campy back then it was campy now. It was very much, yeah, my favorite bit of this whole big very, very beginning section before we get to the party, is the disclaimer. Because it goes from this section. It's like a good cold open if, you know, this guy's a vampire hunters. He's a eventing a sister, this is woman who's going around trying to kill people. We get some some of him explaining how to kill a vampire. And we also get her just being really really scared of a cross so you know, ohh, that bit of laws also correct. But once when the kind of credits start to roll at the beginning, there is a disclaimer that any characters or events portrayed are clearly fictitious, which definitely feels like something real vampires making a movie would say. JAZZA:  You saying, are we gonna have to make keep our eye out for more evidence that these are actual vampires making actual movies? ROWAN:  Is Peter Cushing a vampire? Who can tell? JAZZA:  Actually, you know what? He was somehow invoke one, so-- ROWAN:  He does have the vibes. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  So then we get to the actual party, which is so aggressively 60s in its hair, makeup and clothing. JAZZA:  Oh my god, the eyeliner? ROWAN:  It's incredible. JAZZA:  --the eyeliner. I was taking notes for my drag character. Like I am doing cat eyes from now on. ROWAN:  I would honestly love to see you as a in drag as a lesbian vampire. I feel like that will be beautiful. JAZZA:  Hey, just you weren't into Halloween this year. ROWAN:  It'll happen. Also in in in, again, with the over the top style acting the over the top style props and stuff. I'm not gonna lie to you, there is no way that you could watch this film with the sound on and not know who the baddies are. Because the music, really is not subtle. There is no no subtleties to this music, you very quickly know who is you're meant to find menacing. Which they needed to do because the acting is so wooden. It's really trying to like give you something give you some indication because the characters are basically just standing around without expressions. JAZZA:  And also like makeup. So you assume that the man who clearly has a inch of white stick on his face. You assume that he is the bad guy vampire, because he turns up has a flowy cape and is whiter than I am. ROWAN:  Uhmm. JAZZA:  Which is saying something. ROWAN:  Now's a good time to point out this man. So basically the plot of the party is there's like, well, there's not much but essentially it's just an excuse for our lead lesbian vampire to turn up. And for her, we assume lesbian vampire mother to, I don't know why I said lesbian, specifically of. Mainly, we can assume she's a vampire. She might also be a lesbian, it's unconfirmed. Kind of drops her off and is like, Oh no, who will look after my daughter while I conveniently have to go away. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  And they're like, well, I guess we'll look after her. So this whole party is essentially setting up, that she's gonna have to stay with this family for a little while. But every so often interspersed is just the aforementioned man that Jazza has just briefly described. Who just has a very bad like white face paint makeup on and looks very Draculary and just sort of grins a lot. And he's just never explained the entire movie, it's great. JAZZA:  Yeah, and every now and again, throughout the movie, there will be a shot of the lesbian vampires doing lesbian vampire things, And then that will cast away as a transition to a silhouette of the man with the white face on the on the horse. And I'm like, this movie wants us to believe that this this, I assume that, we know he is a vampire. He's confirmed to be a vampire at the end, because he smiles and has the-- ROWAN:  It's canon. JAZZA:  Yeah, it's canon. But he is confirmed to be a vampire. And I'm like, are we to believe that he is the one pulling the strings of everything? I think that's what we're meant to believe. In which case I kind of dislike because part of the thing that I loved about this movie was the women leads and women like the middle section of the movie is just the women kind of like conversing and trying to kill one another. Why does there have to be a male puppet, puppet master? But then I realized, or, like shoot this down Rowan, and I'm sure you will if you if you do think it is shit. ROWAN:  Pew, pew. JAZZA:  Pew pew. He's Dracula, right? ROWAN:  Well, okay, so it's this question of like, the Dracula character is so well-known and so iconic in everything about him. Not necessarily the actual original Dracula from the book because most depictions of Dracula are nothing like him. But the image of him that has been created by Hollywood by movies and by kind of not even just urban legends. But like people's people's imagination from from movies and like physical-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --representations of him. So I think it will be very logical to assume that it was meant to be Dracula. But it's it may be it's just because he is so synonymous with vampires we see. If we saw any vampire that looked vaguely like old timey pale skin, we would maybe assume it was Dracula. JAZZA:  But then who else is it going to be? Like, so Carmilla is our titular vampire lover. ROWAN:  uh-hmm. JAZZA:  And apart from Dracula, like obviously, they're originally from different universes from different books. They are-- ROWAN:  Different cinematic universes. JAZZA:  Yeah yeah. This this is like Marvel and DC. ROWAN:  Most ambitious crossover, The Vampire Lovers. JAZZA:  But if it's going to be anybody, I feel like it has to be Dracula. ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  Because, I feel like nobody else is gonna be calling the shots for Carmilla. ROWAN:  Uhmm. JAZZA:  And even arguably, you'd argue that Carmilla wouldn't be like canonically in the book. She wouldn't be taking any direction from no man. But-- ROWAN:  Indeed. JAZZA:  So we should probably introduce Carmilla, our main lesbian vampire. ROWAN:  At this point going by Marcilla-- JAZZA:  Marci-- ROWAN:  --in an extremely clever, different version of her name. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  It's not it was like it was a fake name, but it was just weirdly close to her actual name. JAZZA:  It's a little bit too close, right? So she is played by Ingrid Pitt, who is a Polish-British Actress, and her Wikipedia page, incredibly impressive. She is a Holocaust survivor. Did you know that? ROWAN:  I didn't. It's really, I mean, the Hammer Horror, I know that we're kind of taking the mick out of it. But ultimately, they it has produced some incredibly iconic, especially British Actors and Actresses. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  A lot of them were in like, a ton of those very specific Hammer Horror movies and like, very much became, like icons because of it. So I didn't know that about her. But we love to learn. JAZZA:  Yes, she's a, she was a a a Polish Jew and was born 1937 was in a concentration camp in, in Poland. Managed to escape to the UK. And then what it was the era when all of the all of Hollywood were kind of like marrying like seven or eight times. She's had several marriages, she's not had seven or eight, she's had three marriages. But what had the whole classic thing of you know what, I'm just going to become an Actress. Moved to Hollywood, was a waitress for years until she got discovered. And I've got to say, I think that she carries the rest of the cast, I will say including, Peter Cushing.  ROWAN:  How dare you, sir. JAZZA:  I I mean, this is one of his performances. There are other things that he's done better. But she carries this whole movie on her shoulders, I think Ingrid Pitt. I think that she is not, she's not so camp, that it makes it funny. But she really ups the energy, like throughout the film in all of the scenes and the development of her character. ROWAN:  Yeah, I agree. So I I kind of made a note about this, I think that you can see within her fighting to get out is some complexity around Carmilla. To the point where I like kept thinking it was going to be discussed in some way. So what essentially happens as I mentioned at the party, we it's it's a mechanism for Carmilla and Laura to become friends and have to stay together in the house. JAZZA:  Uhm. ROWAN:  Laura, basically slowly starts losing her mind. She starts suffering from nightmares that she's being attacked by this giant cat. She screams a lot. Oh, boy, do they love to scream in this. JAZZA:  I love it so much. ROWAN:  It's I, okay, I'm going to give you another metaphor for the scream. The scream is like, the scream that you get in a high school movie. When a teenager has been punked by their younger brother. And their hair, like their hair has been dyed green. And they look directly into the mirror that is also directly into the camera and they take a deep breath and then they scream. And then the camera zooms out, like to the house and into the like country and then a load of-- JAZZA:  Yeah, yeah yeah. ROWAN:  --birds like flutter out of trees. That's the vibe-- JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  --from every scream and there's multiple in this particular movie. JAZZA:  Well I love Rowan is that we're very quickly realizing that this season of recording review podcasts, all of your references are going to be to team trash moments. Like that's-- ROWAN:  Yeah, the best of all genres. Other than horror, but I know that you can't handle that, obviously. So I decided to [35:37]-- JAZZA:  [35:37] lead by you. ROWAN:  So yeah, this is very kind of classic Gothic idea of like, slowly trying to figure out like, what's real? What's not real? Did I might actually being attacked? This is a nightmare. Has someone caused me to feel this way? And while this is happening, we get this very intense kind of friendship going on between these two women. I think there's literally an an exchange or one of them says I shall die when you leave. And the other is like, I shall never leave you. And then they do kissy kiss, kiss kiss. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  But what's also really interesting to me, which I actually feel like I still see a lot in lesbian movies is that there is no actual relationship development. Which makes sense in this film, because it's like supernatural allure, right? It's like her being like, I'm just this lesbian vampire. And so you're gonna fall for me, even though we literally have never had a conversation properly. Like, we never see that on screen. But I often see that to my mind, at least in lesbian movies. Especially the like historic lesbian movies, where they just really love to bank on the idea of like the repressed women trope. And so they're like, we don't have to have them have conversations and talk about things because they've repressed, right? They just sort of inexplicably now want to kiss. There's no build up and nothing and no discussions. And so I was like, at least here it makes sense. Canonically with the idea of her having this like sexual allure to her victims. JAZZA:  Yeah, it kind of does. I I I will, and this is something that people smarter than me have talked about, about Carmilla the original text from the 1800s. Where she juxtaposes with a character like Dracula, because Carmilla actually seems to genuinely fall in love with the people that she ends up killing, alternative vampires. And I felt like Pitt's depiction of the, she was really good at kind of like, I believed that she really did care for these young women that she ended up, spoiler, kills. ROWAN:  Uhm. Yeah, completely agree. There's these, there are just these moments where she's the character on her own like, and she suddenly has this look of like, deep grief or deep sadness or deep like confliction in her. And I'm like, oh, if this wasn't a Hammer Horror, like I, this same story could be played out. And we really could have dug into the idea of like, I need to do this to survive, or like I cannot, this is what I was meant to do. Like, I've been living for hundreds of years. And this is what's always happened. But this is like, mentally horrific. And I feel like there's some interesting like vampire media that does explore this idea of like, what do you do if you just keep on living? And you have to hurt people in order to survive, like, what does that look like? That and see, or-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --seeing that conflict of someone who has fallen for someone for that, for real for the first time. That previously it hadn't been things like, these things are really interesting to explore, not where this film is going. Another spoiler alert gang, there there is no complex comes, the biggest complexity is this very specific look that we have interpreted from an actress who was not given anything else in the script to work with. JAZZA:  Yeah. Shall we just say this up before? Up the [38:37]-- ROWAN:  We shout. JAZZA:  --out for that. The script is not this movie's strong point. ROWAN:  Uhm. Yeah, if you couldn't have told that already. I feel like we've really hinted quite heavily at it, so far. JAZZA:  Yes. ROWAN:  But yeah, so the end of this first section is essentially, Laura is bitten. She has these fang bites on her. She she dies, and Marcilla is like, Bye!!! JAZZA:  Yeah, disappears. ROWAN:  I'm out of here, baby. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  And so we get to our second section. [39:04] [Transition Music] JAZZA:  So that first section has basically, it's the bullet point version of what's going to happen next with a new girl, essentially. ROWAN:  Uh-hmm. JAZZA:  That's what going to happen-- ROWAN:  Yes, that's exactly. That's exactly it. JAZZA:  Like this is what Carmilla does. She is parachuted in convolutedly to be, to befriend a young woman in a manor house. And then gradually over time, kills her, while terrorizing the local peasantry as well. Because every now and again we'll have like a peasant washer woman running through the forest. Who then stumbles falls and then screams and does the as you said, that [scream] kind of moment. ROWAN:  Wonderful impression. Yes. JAZZA:  Thank you. I'm conscious of of peeking the mic. Otherwise, I would delete, you know, I [39:52]-- ROWAN:  Oh, yeah. No, I know you would. So this one we get a little more titillation, though. Like we functionally you're right, it's exactly the same story. But we do get a little more titillation. So we have like Emma comes into Carmilla's room. Welcome in there is just naked in the bath, and just has a casual conversation about-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --the dresses that they're going to wear and Carmilla's like, you should take everything off for you try on this dress, because it ruins the shape to have underwear on. And she's like, oh, okay, like there's literally no reason for the scene apart from for the audience have like this kind of sex and fear and horror and campaign nudity and like all this stuff coming together in in the way that it's often does. So even at that point, I was like, oh, this is ridiculous. And then they start chasing each other around while topless in, what I genuinely think might be the most unconvincing chase scene in all of cinema. JAZZA:  It's kind of like when you see if the like, in in maybe a more modern movie where two women have been asked to, do a pillow fight and and it's sexy. Just trust me, it's sexy. All the way through this second conquest of Carmilla of Emma's character who is this the wide idiot, frankly. ROWAN:  Yeah, she does have a type doesn't she? JAZZA:  Yeah yeah. Oh my God, I didn't even think of it like that. But yeah yeah, though I did it. But she like I I I found myself questioning all the way through kind of like this moment of undressing and Ooh, tits or bear ass, you know. I don't want and can you answer this for me? Is this sexy? ROWAN:  Well as a sexual lesbian, Jazza, I don't really, I I'm both highly qualified and utterly unqualified to answer that question-- JAZZA:  Which is-- ROWAN:  --no, not in my mind. But I think as well it's it's it's that I think that the sexiness with this release, I don't know maybe there's probably some lesbians that are just like, yes, tits. But I think, like, we have them, we know what they look like. So it's kind of like, what did someone else I feel like it's the connection that that-- JAZZA:  Made that that logic. I just, I just want to put this out there that logic does not-- ROWAN:  Not, no, that's fair enough. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  But it is this thing of like, there is literally no feeling of connection between them during that chase scene. Like, I think there are other bits where there's more like when they're doing this sort of hypnotizes seductressy bit that like, feels like they're-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --slightly monstering chemistry. But like, that scene where they're chasing each other around could not have been-- JAZZA:  Less sexy. ROWAN:  --less sexy, if it tried like it just in an embarrassing kind of way that's like, Oh, God, I guess I'm watching this now, this is happening. Because I do think as well, it is like, it is very funny to me, because I think immediately just reminds me of the super, the super cliche to the point where it's almost become a meme thing that happens with gay male characters in movies. And in porn as well, where they, they kind of have a like, they're sort of play fighting, and then suddenly, it's like, oh, no, now we are on top of each other and it is sexual. JAZZA:  Uh-huh. ROWAN:  Like-- JAZZA:  CRGBF episode. ROWAN:  Yeah, it's like it's it's such a trope. And it's so funny that it kind of like this was like, even less convincing than those things. I was really interested to see, because this was on so many sort of, like, you know, classic queer movie lists. But typically movies that are this old, you don't really have the actual canonical confirmation in any way. And you definitely do in this movie, like they, they really have it up and although it does fall into the trope, we'll talk about in a second about like, kind of the evil lesbian trope. It's supernatural and over the top and kind of didn't mind it in that way. But yeah, once again, Emma starts having nightmares. Start screaming, everyone else kind of goes away on like, the day goes away on business. She has a suitor, but he's not you know, it's it's in the olden times. So he doesn't really come-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm, uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --around all the time. He just occasionally, he'll turn up. But we'll be do have it's a little bit different is the kind of Governess character-- JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  --like Mme. Perrodot, who's kind of like becomes this accomplice to Carmilla. Because she's just seducing everyone. JAZZA:  I love Carmilla and The Governess. And I want them to go away and have a home with the what was the cat's name? Gustav. ROWAN:  Oh, yeah, you know what-- JAZZA:  I want to-- ROWAN:  --you're right. JAZZA:  --go move to a cottage in the Romanian countryside and just live with Gustav. Because, uhm, so as well as seducing Emma, Carmilla begins seducing and killing all of the peasantry around the mansion. Carmilla begins to seduce The Governess. And that is when it does get sexy. And I was like, oh, all of a sudden there actually feels like there is chemistry between these two women. And I thought that Carmilla had turned The Governess into a vampire? But it turns out that she doesn't that The Governess is just have familia and just really fancy is the pants off of Carmilla. ROWAN:  Uh-hmm. JAZZA:  And to be fair with an ass like that. ROWAN:  I mean, who can blame her? JAZZA:  Mmm. ROWAN:  But yeah, that's an interesting thing here. Again, I'll come back to when we talk about lesbian trips versus exchange that happens between Emma and Carmilla about, you know, I love you. I don't want anyone taking you away from me and Emma being like, we'll always be friends. She's like, no, it's not the same thing, it's different. I want you to love me for all your life. Like it's very much the idea of like Carmilla is the predatory, kind of obsessive like actual lesbian. And then you have this like poor innocent Emma who didn't didn't understand what was happening. Like-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --she didn't know that that was what was going on in the mind of this perverted lesbian vampire. JAZZA:  I sometimes also get the the feeling that Carmilla was a bit of a like the lesbian version of a nagging dude, bro. Like she keeps on telling, telling Emma there's, ahh you talk such nonsense. Like, getting really defensive about the way that she feels about funerals, for example. ROWAN:  Oh, bloody he hates funerals. JAZZA:  Completely gaslights, Emma about like the bite marks on her being from a brooch and not from anything else. ROWAN:  Yeah, truly Carmilla is the gaslight, gatekeeper, girlboss of all, of all [46:00]-- JAZZA:  That is, that is the classification that we needed. Thank you very much, Rowan, I appreciate it. ROWAN:  I don't know if you had anything else to say about this section. Cuz I think the third section is like the boys are back in town. JAZZA:  Oh, I called the third section. Lesbian Vampire Killers. ROWAN:  Oh, yeah. You know what, that also works very well. [46:16] [Transition Music] ROWAN:  This is essentially when all of the guys and tada like, hey, I don't know whether you've noticed how every woman is dying in the local area by having their blood drained. But I think there may be foul play at work. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. Can I just say the men, they have been practically no men having speaking parts in this movie, for like a good 50% of the middle part of it. The first 25% is Carmilla and the aftermath party. And then we have 50% of just women. seducing one another and being hot. And-- ROWAN:  And Gustav, the cat. JAZZA:  --and, and Gustav, the cat, of course. So I won't forget Gustav, the cat. And then these men come in. And I'll be completely honest, I forgotten who most of them were. ROWAN:  Oh, yeah, I fully could not remember any of these men were. JAZZA:  And what their relationships were with the women previously. So it is all of the aggrieved men who have been affected by cumulus murdering. So it is the father of Laura who she killed in act one. It is the suitor of Emma, who-- ROWAN:  Uh-hmm. JAZZA:  --at this point is going through the stages of death as well. And also the father of Emma as well, who has just come back from business. ROWAN:  Ooh, and surprised that guy from the beginning who who was narrating. JAZZA:  Oh, sure, the guy of the sideburns. ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  [47:52] caps. ROWAN:  [47:52] there's also just randomly like, there's a Doctor, there's a butler, there's a landlord. JAZZA:  Yeah, all of these men that, I'll be honest movie I didn't I don't care about and I feel like it wanted us to root for the men because they're the ones who are like injustice. And I was like, now I know that Carmilla is going around and killing all of these doe wide dumb women. But I'm on her side, I'll be completely honest. And I kind of want the men to leave them alone so that they can have their happy lesbian life with The Governess and Gustav. ROWAN:  Yeah. And instead, the men keep trying to bring garlic flowers into their room, which is honestly-- JAZZA:  [48:27] ROWAN:  --very rude. JAZZA:  Yeah, so one of the workers in the mansion, Mr. Venton, is supposed to be a, no, he's not really a hero. Basically, I immediately dislike him because we introduced him as he slaps the ass of a bar wench in the peasant village. He then decides, oh, yeah, definitely everything that's happening to Emma is vampiric in nature. He reckons the vampire is The Governess, actually, rather than Carmilla. And then starts talking with the landlord of the local pub, and getting advice and so brings in garlic flowers to Emma's bedroom, to try and ward off the vampires and causing a Doctor who also as well as encouraging the use of these flowers, brings in a a crucifix and puts it around Emma's neck. Which makes it impossible for both Carmilla and for The Governess to go into the womb and to complete the killing of our delight [49:33] ROWAN:  Yeah. Which ultimately, yeah, great plan to be honest, it did work. They pretty foolproof. JAZZA:  Yeah, it was pretty good until Venton get seduced by Carmilla and just goes, you know what, all I want to do is make out with you and I'm going to like murder this girl for it. And you know what? I was happy to see him die at the hands of Carmilla, good for her. ROWAN:  And then she's also like, ohh, going to kill the Doctor and all, like just the though we have a nice scene when the Doctor's Horse get super spooked. And she somehow, I guess is teleported there. Because she never really seems to leave the house and yet she's always off body killing people. So yeah she's, she's like you know what? We, enough of this. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  No thank you. So kind of simultaneously while all of the the lads are going on a little road trip to her old family castle to try and-- JAZZA:  Yeah, where she's buried. ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  She's like Oop, time for a kidnap and decides to essentially kidnap Emma, and in the process dump The Governess. JAZZA:  Can I just say this just cemented, cemented Carmilla was an, as the absolute fuck boy if this movie, ROWAN:  You're, you know what? You're absolutely right. She is-- JAZZA:  Like-- ROWAN:  --she is the fuck boy-- JAZZA:  --literally-- ROWAN:  --of this movie. JAZZA:  --The Governess is there on the floor, begging, take me with you. She loves you, she wants to create that life with Gustav. ROWAN:  She wants the cottage called dream with the cat-- JAZZA:  [50:58] of this-- ROWAN:  --and, in the woods, in Romanian. JAZZA:  Who knew in the 1970s that this was going to pave the way for the Cottagecore Movement and-- ROWAN:  I know, right. JAZZA:  --Lesbian Cottagecore Movement. ROWAN:  That's the true history of it. And then there's so much screaming again, classic. Because she decides to to feed on The Governess and-- JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  --maybe shouldn't have done that in front of Emma. If she wanted Emma-- JAZZA:  Uh-hmm. ROWAN:  --to come away with her. But you know she did and that's on her. So all the screaming again. And then the suitor is here to save the day, whose name is Carl. Which-- JAZZA:  Didn't know it is, no, I completely missed that. What? That's very funny-- ROWAN:  It's Carl, yeah. Carl's here to save the day and so Carmilla-- JAZZA:  Carl.. ROWAN:  --looks like, ohh, well, I guess a bit of skip town. This is too much for me, and then runs back to the castle. Which obviously we as the audience know is filled with the lads who are up to no good. JAZZA:  The Lesbian Vampire Killer. ROWAN:  Yeah. The Lesbian Vampire Killer, the lads. And so yeah, she just runs back to the castle, has a little nap. And then while she's napping, doesn't notice them all come around her coffin and and stab her in the heart. JAZZA:  I can I just say they don't, she doesn't notice them. Finding her coffin, moving a massive, kind of like slate off of her coffin. Carrying her coffin into the chapel, opening the coffin, then moving her dress down so that expose his, her chest and then placing the stake on her breast so that they can actually stub her. She doesn't notice any of that, she's fast asleep, bless her. ROWAN:  She's hibernating, [52:22] we nap and she deserves it. JAZZA:  Very cute. This is all happening during the night as well. And that's when she's to be awake? ROWAN:  Hmm, doing question is fine. She's she's hibernating. JAZZA:  And then they once again they stab her through the chest. She is then decapitated, which again, the physical effects of this movie. We're not what I was expecting for 1970, that is very nice. ROWAN:  That's very good. JAZZA:  Have we gone backwards? ROWAN:  Possibly, I I genuinely feel like the special effects of Jurassic Park hold up better than the special effects of Jurassic World. So, yes, you're you're correct. The audience of the goodies. JAZZA:  I am with you. ROWAN:  I really enjoyed that they were like yeah, Peter Cushing can have the killing blow. He's a he's the star of this, is no real connection to a lot of what's going on here but sure. And then at the end come in his portrait on the wall has changed to be all vampire instead of all hot like she was before. JAZZA:  Very doing great. ROWAN:  Yeah, it's great. It was it was very much like Chekhov's decapitation. Because they did the guy at the very beginning was like, the only way you can kill them as if you decapitate them. And it's like, oh, I wonder if that will come back later on. It's like, a plot point. And then yeah, that was the end of the movie we had, we have experienced, The Vampire Lovers. JAZZA:  Uh-hmm, uh-hmm. Rowan did you [53:36], how how was this, how was this experience for you? Because obviously this isn't what you wanted. You wanted quote unquote, "real horror". ROWAN:  So here's the thing. JAZZA:  Mmm, go! ROWAN:  I will admit, when we were coming up with these movies, and we and you decided that we were going to watch The Vampire Lovers, I was worried. JAZZA:  Can I just say, I rolled a dice when decided this. ROWAN:  Yeah, you did annoyingly. JAZZA:  So it wasn't me that decided it was the dice. ROWAN:  The dice, it was the thing. I would admit, the time I was a bit like, disappointed because I like, no that, I don't know if I'm that interested in this or whatever. But then I did watch the movie. And I agree with my initial assessment, I was so bored. This was such a boring movie. JAZZA:  I I couldn't disagree with you more. ROWAN:  Ohhh, God. JAZZA:  I loved it, I loved it so much. ROWAN:  I've could have predicted that though. I feel like we've had, we've disagreed on movies before in this podcast. And I think it's just you enjoy trash. JAZZA:  This isn't, no no-- ROWAN:  Like, and not that that's not even meant to be me. Like, like, taking a dig at you. I'm like you genuinely do appreciate sort of like campy, trashy, like low budget stuff. I think more than I do. JAZZA:  Yes. Yeah. No, I'm with you. That is my vibe. That is my my modus operandi. But also I will say, all the way through, I was just fascinated that a movie like this was out in 1970. And I was also just captivated by all of the women. Either Ingrid Pitt, really does carry this full movie, she was absolutely phenomenal throughout the whole thing. But then every single woman is just absolutely stunning. And I don't understand why they're hanging around with all of these mediocre men. I wanted it to just be the women living their cortical fantasy. And I was so sucked in to their beauty and like some of their sexy flirting. I was super into The Governess, and all of that shit. I genuinely was hooked to this movie. I I really enjoyed the ride, I thought it was great. I will say some of that is based on kind of like, oh, isn't this an interesting depiction of like, the end of the height of the Hammer Horror Movement, and of the type of movie that was out at the time and stuff like that. ROWAN:  What a nerd. JAZZA:  But I have a--I had a really nice time, I'd recommend it. ROWAN:  Yeah, I also I guess it appreciated it on that more intellectual level of like, mmm, this is I was I was like, at the very least, there's stuff that we can say about it. In the same way as I did predict this is what was going to happen. That like when you do an experiment in science class, really, I just keep doing high school metaphors. And it's not even on purpose. And when you do an experiment in science class, and it goes horribly wrong, and all of your results are wrong. You're like, well, at least I have something to write in my evaluation, even if the results and the conclusion of the terrible. I'll have, I'll basically just be able to, like, absolutely destroyed myself by being like me from 10 minutes ago, when I did this experiment is ridiculous, and doesn't know what she was doing and absolute fool. Or here all the things she did wrong. JAZZA:  And you're and you'll get really good marks for being reflective. ROWAN:  Yeah, exactly. You really reflective. And I kind of feel like this is the vibe of like, well, I don't enjoy it. But there's a lot we can say about it. So I guess this is the section where we talk about a little bit more context specific around Queer Movies, lesbian vampires, they're a thing. So this is not, this very much was part of a tradition. Like you talked about Carmilla before. And this is a tradition that has very much been with us for a long time, for a number of reasons. So one, as we talked about before, the vampire genre ties in a lot to sex and sexuality. And it only makes sense that if you're going to talk about perversion and sexuality that lesbians come up, you know, it's a it's just how we do. So I think also the fact that there is a, there is a riskier a danger, and alert sexuality element of vampires. And so if you're going to pick a sexuality to titillate the assumed to be male audience. With a bit of taboo, with a bit of danger, with a lot of titties, the lesbians will do it for you. So this is very much yeah, old, old trope, which has continued on through the decades. And this was absolutely no exception and actually was like a very noted example of it that a lot of people will talk about. I think it was very interesting that, when you look at the Wikipedia article for this movie, it gives you, often Wikipedia articles will tell you like what the rotten score is with critics. JAZZA:  Uhm. ROWAN:  And the note that they've made of it being certified rotten. I looked at the citation, and it was from 2013. It is now absolutely not certified rotten, the critic score is 71. And the audience score is 60. So it kind of has gotten more critical clout as a cult classic, than sort of a good movie at the time getting good reviews. It's very much had basically the reaction that we sort of had to at of, there is something about the context of it and something about its sort of cult classic status, which has, I think, elevate it in in subsequent reviews. JAZZA:  Is it, I'm sensing a mirroring of what we saw with Jennifer's Body-- ROWAN:  Hmm. JAZZA:  --a little bit. ROWAN:  You are not wrong, you're absolutely not wrong. There is this idea of the as I kind of mentioned earlier, corrupting lesbian force, right? So you would often have not just in like supernatural ways in in more realistic dramas around these decades, especially within the Hays Code or around it, of the experienced, maybe older sexual lesbian, and the young innocent virgin who didn't really understand what was going on and couldn't be blamed and was sucked in but just needed to be kind of taken out of this woman's [59:23] and given to a nice good man and that would kind of cheer her like this very much is something that is a big, big part of the conceptualization people had of lesbians of what what that relationship looks like. And I think queer people in general was like, the predator, right? So you had a lot of in our history, we have a lot of stuff where, you know, queer people shouldn't be teachers because they shouldn't be around young people. Ridiculous, obviously. And then more recently, we have the sort of trans bathroom panic stuff around the idea that old trans people shouldn't be trusted with our children in bathrooms like just completely ridiculous. But absolutely ties into this idea of like the evil lesbian trope, which plays out so much, over over time, over over this genre. And if you're being interpreting it in maybe a little bit more of a generous way, or if you wanted to subvert it, then you might look at how becoming a vampire is sort of as a symbol of no longer being tied to sort of puritanical ideas of sex and sexuality. And it being a very freeing experience and that that kind of tying into queerness like, I definitely think there's room for that interpretation. In like more modern explorations of lesbian vampires. I'd be really interested to see stuff like that. But yeah, there's a 1936 film Dracula's Daughter. JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN: 

We discuss Robin Hardy's 1972 film The Wicker Man written by Anthony Shaffer starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt & Christopher Lee you can find us on: Twitter at @ShudderShow Instagram @Shudder_Show youtube.com/channel/UC-tbln7yxDaObSS6LknqtpA/ email at ShudderShow@gmail.com music by Benjamin Moy Check out his podcast Hooked on Score.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting! Well, Ingrid Pitt was. This is an infamous episode, thanks to the Pitt/Myrka combo that has come in for a fair amount of stick - but that's not going to stop an outpouring of love from Big Finish and BBC Books scribe Jonathan Morris, and indeed your host Toby Hadoke, who is very keen to play Where's Wally with the mysterious Sea Base staff member Paroli...

This week we have an appointment to keep... with The Wicker Man.   The Wicker Man is a 1973 cult British horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Christopher Lee. The screenplay by Anthony Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, centers on the visit of Police Sergeant Neil Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.    The film is well-regarded by critics and has been described as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies". In 2006, a poorly received (and ill-conceived) American remake was released starring Nicholas Cage, which Hardy and others involved with the original dissociated themselves from. In 2011, a spiritual sequel directed by Hardy entitled The Wicker Tree was released and featured Lee in a cameo appearance.   Support the Show & get access to exclusive episodes at https://www.patreon.com./DisasterArtists   Find us at all these other places: https://linktr.ee/DisasterArtists

In the twenty-eighth episode of Season 4 (the Horror, The Horror) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss the folk musical horror debut of filmmaker Robin Hardy  about the battle between religious conviction and judgment in The Wicker Man.

Hammer fanatics, get ready! Because the Summer of Hammer is here to seduce you, with a pair of creature features! Oliver Reed uses his charm, and a typical passionate performance, to win our hearts. Despite the fact that he would prefer to eat us. The full moon will have you howling for this early Hammer classic, Hammer's only feature film foray into werewolf lore. It's The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)! And then from there, just what is Ingrid Pitt up to, in the role that made her a cult horror icon? The answer is: vampire stuff. Obviously. Mircalla? Carmilla? Marcilla? It doesn't matter what her name is! And your gender is irrelevant, too. If Ingrid wants you, she's going to use her vampire wiles to seduce you.  Good luck trying to resist! You know, if you even want to...in The Vampire Lovers (1970)!

We made it! The final episode of the first series of 'An A to Z of UK TV Drama' is in the can. Rather than choosing the rather obvious Z Cars we thought instead that with this instalment that we'd take a much overdue trip into the world of ITC with the French Riviera-set crime caper The Zoo Gang. First broadcast in 1974 this series, based on the book by Paul Gallico (The Poseidon Adventure), was filmed in Nice and at Pinewood and starred Sir John Mills, Lilli Palmer, Brian Keith and Barry Morse who played four former resistance agents reunited 28 years after the war. Termed The Zoo Gang because of their codenames during the war: The Elephant, The Leopard, The Fox and The Tiger. A raft of familiar guest stars include Roger Delgado (in his last starring role post-Doctor Who), Jacqueline Pearce, Peter Cushing, and Philip Madoc. Both Andy and Martin find much to enjoy here and not just because they get the opportunity to try out their French or, rather, their French accents! Highlights include the title theme by Paul and Linda McCartney, the performances of the main cast, and the fun heist & hustle plots. Some of the acting isn't that great (coo-ee Ingrid Pitt!) and some of the storylines a bit convoluted but this limited-run 6 episode series still feels like a fun and upbeat way to end our series. This episode was brought to you by the words: malheureusement, maintenant, and perdue. As for 'Another A to Z of UK TV Drama' you'll just have to wait and see.

On this week's episode, host, Oh Golly Miss Dolly, chats with performer, pinup, and podcaster Ruby Noir about all things Hammer Horror. They discuss and dissect in spoilerific detail 1971's 'Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde' directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Ralph Bates and Martine Bestwick in the titular roles, and also 1971's 'Countess Dracula' directed by Peter Sasdy and starring Ingrid Pitt as the Countess. Theme music: 'Afraid of Me' by Cadaver Club. (www.cadaverclub.com)

Odöda, bleka och blodtörstiga. Vampyren känner alla till, även de som inte lyssnar på FromBeyonds podcast. Frågan är dock om alla känner samma gåshud när de hör namnet Peter Cushing eller Ingrid Pitt?

Here’s one to get your teeth into! On the 50th Anniversary of its release, your favourite scouse homos (and their straight mate) are getting into bed with queer horror classic The Vampire Lovers! Released in 1970 with a X certificate and cranked up boobs and blood, this Hammer outing gave the world a bona fide horror icon in Ingrid Pitt. Hear about how truth was even more fantastic than fiction with Ingrid’s incredible life story. Equally as shocking – both Ingrid and the director didn’t think Vampire Lovers had even an inkling of lesbianism! We respectfully disagree as we celebrate Hammer’s most queer outing, which surprisingly subverts the male gaze whilst still giving us all the tits and teeth we need! So what if you can see that chain mail fence and sky blue hair bobble in 17th century Styria…

On this week's episode, we're making our first foray into Hammer Horror with a journey to 19th century Styria in Roy Ward Baker's The Vampire Lovers. Joining us for the discussion is Scarred for Life co-host Mary Beth McAndrews, who brings her own passion for vampires to the episode.After a brief crash course on Hammer Horror, we'll laud the performances of Ingrid Pitt as the thrice-named anti-heroic vampire Marcilla/Carmilla/Mircalla, marvel at the unusual vampire lore (shrouds?!), and lament the lack of any interesting male characters (though that is undoubtedly the point).Plus, Mary Beth leads us in a frank discussion of bisexuality and the vampire sub-genre's relationship to it, which isn't too shocking considering this film is sexy af.Questions?

Movie Meltdown - Episode 516 Settle in for an extensive discussion of the sci-fi "classic" - Battle Beyond the Stars. And this is a film that definitely gives us a lot to dig into, considering the movie is produced by Roger Corman, written by John Sayles, featuring music composed by James Horner, art direction and visual effects by James Cameron… just to name a few of it's notable crew. Plus a star-studded cast including Richard Thomas, Robert Vaughn, John Saxon, George Peppard, Julia Duffy and of course Sybil Danning.

While most times it’s fun, sometimes, their topics can be a sinister reflection of society and life itslef. The cases on this list depict some terrifying stories of violence, abuse and cults. These are 5 Scary Movies Based on Real Life Cults. 5. The Sacrament (2014) The Sacrament is a found footage horror movie directed and written by Ti West. The movie centers on two VICE journalists looking to document their friend’s attempt at finding his sister after she joins a mysterious and reclusive religious commune. 4. Rosemary’s Baby (1968) When it was first released in 1968, Rosemary’s Baby shocked and titillated audiences with its mixture of the macabre and gore. The film centers on Guy and Rosemary Woodhouse and their eerie Bramford apartment building in New York City. 3. The Master (2012) Released in 2012, The Master is a dramatic film involving a World War II veteran, Freddie, who is having trouble adjusting to daily life after the war. After being accused of poisoning a co-worker from a homemade moonshine, he flees to San Francisco and stows away in the yacht of Lancaster Dodd, a leader of a philosophical movement dubbed as “The Cause.” 2. The Wicker Man (1973) Hailed as one of the best horror films ever made, The Wicker Man is a British film starring Britt Ekland, Christopher Lee, Ingrid Pitt, and Edward Woodward. The film focuses on Neil Howie, a police officer visiting the isolated island of Summerisle, after he receives an anonymous letter about the disappearance of a young girl. 1. Midsommar (2019) Midsommar is said to be the 2019 version of The Wicker Man. The film follows a group of friends who travel to a remote place in Sweden to attend a festival that happens once every 90-years. But instead of revelry and fun, it turns out they’ve walked into the hands of an unusual pagan cult.

Matt & Ashley review an early '70s British horror film with, oddly enough, no blood.

The concluding episode of the Metebelis Two's three-part celebration of the Jon Pertwee centenary focusing on seasons 9 through 11. Ben explains how first reading Target novilisations made the actual viewing of the stories a bit anticlimatic. BBC productions values of the early 1970s could not compete with the vivid memories of an 8-year-old's imagination, Ingrid Pitt's costume in The Time Monster aside. Then the two do a deep dive into how Omega's guards are pronounced. Is it with a /g/ sound like with gar or a /j/ sound like with jar; on-the-fly research was done and sources were cited. A brief sidebar about the new action figures for Big Finish / Character Option, including Harry Sullivan. Were Ogrons the classic series Judoon? Why was the Master having a bit of laugh in Roger Delgado's final story? Did Mac Hulke not like Pertwee's usual outfits? These questions and more! Opening music is from Dudley Simpson's score for the Frontier in Space and closing music is from his score for Planet of the Spiders.

This film brings an uncomfortable glimpse of how lesbianism is viewed in a patriarchal society and forces Matt and Cort to acknowledge those revealed truths while trying not to drool too heavily over the other worldly beauty of Ingrid Pitt and Madeline Smith.    iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cinema-psyops/id1037574921?mt=2 Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cinema-psyops Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ij7cs3a2qml6bz2lajomirqcngi?t=Cinema_PSYOPS Cinema PSYOPS Main page: http://www.legionpodcasts.com/cinema-psyops/ Email feedback to Matt: psyopmatt@gmail.com.  Cort : cinemapsyopscort@gmail.com  Find on twitter Cort:  @Cort_PSYOP Matt: @psyopmatt Join the FaceBook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1616282625298374/   The post CinePsyEP177 Movie Stack Jenga: The Vampire Lovers appeared first on Legion.

After a brief weather report, Ben and David concluded their survey of Silurians and Sea Devils from the original series featuring Sea Devil fashion, Silurian beaks, and praise for Ingrid Pitt. Ben shares with a skeptical David his unified Atlantis theory and how it could "improve" Warriors of the Deep. Not to be outdone, David wonders if the Silurians are doomed to always the same story? Opening and closing music is from "The Sea Devils" soundtrack by Malcolm Clarke, plus a bit from Deep Purple in Oslo 1987.

Lee and Daniel are back this week to talk about yet another vampire film - well, it's vampire-like anyway. This week it's Hammer's "Countess Dracula" (1971), directed by Peter Sasdy and starring the lovely and, in a couple of instances, nude Ingrid Pitt. How close does this story, based on the real life "Blood Countess" Elizabeth Bathory, stick to the known facts? Does it go far enough? What's with all the romance stuff and funny hats? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late and discuss how they'd remake this film, and who they'd cast and hire as director. Drop your blood-sokaed sponges, towel off, and take a listen. "Countess Dracula" IMDB Featured Music: "Countess Dracula - Opening Credits" & excerpt from the score by Harry Robinson; and "An Execution" by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

There's a great one liner on the movie poster for "Where Eagles Dare". "One weekend Major Smith, Lieutenant Schaffer, and a beautiful blonde named Mary decided to win World War II" But really, they didn't say "a tall handsome blue eyed man named Schaffer." Ugh. Things haven't changed much in 50 years.  Anyway, the movie is an exciting roller coaster of action. And despite the trite description of Mary's character, played excellently by Mary Ure, she really kicks some ass in the movie along with the other female lead played by Ingrid Pitt. Prepare yourself though, this movie was made during an era when total running time wasn't much of a consideration in the editing room. Two hours and 38 minutes, sure! No problem! Let's put every excruciating detail into the action segments and draw out the narrative between those! Yes!  Oh and I happen on one of the greatest trivia bits we've found in a long time about the Director, Mr. Brian Hutton. Really, I think you'll like it. And Bob makes a funny reference to the movie "Amadeus" near the end.  We have a lot of fun talking about the movie as usual. We hope you enjoy! And Happy Holidays! Up next "Murder At The Gallop"

With more than 200 films to their credit, there are almost too many directions you can take when whittling down the best in Hammer horror. Ingrid Pitt could have her own countdown, and fans of the sultrier side of Hammer may be disappointed with this countdown. Fans of Terence Fisher should be pleased, though, but there are still many other films in their repertoire worthy of note, which is why Phantom Dark Dave joins us with his own list!

In the inaugural episode of Daughters of Darkness, Kat and Samm explore the history of lesbian vampire films. This first episode of three begins by examining the lesbian vampire from her origins in eighteenth century Gothic literature, particularly Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s unfinished poem “Christabel” (1797) and Irish writer Sheridan Le Fanu’s story “Carmilla” (1871), both of which explore themes of monstrosity, repressed sexuality, and female identity. “Carmilla” — the source material for the majority of lesbian vampire films — follows a lonely young woman named Laura, who makes a strange, seductive new friend, Carmilla, whose designs on Laura are decidedly sanguinary. Carl Theodor Dreyer’s surreal horror film Vampyr (1932) was the first to adapt “Carmilla,” however loosely, but was followed soon after by the more straightforward Universal horror film, Dracula’s Daughter (1936). The latter — with its depiction of an elegant, sympathetic female vampire reluctantly driven to act out her bloodlust out on female as well as male victims — was among the first to portray vampirism as a blend of madness, female hysteria, sexual dysfunction, and addiction. Dracula’s Daughter would influence subsequent adaptations of “Carmilla,” like Roger Vadim’s lush arthouse effort Blood and Roses (1960) and obscure Italian Gothic horror film Crypt of the Vampire (1964). The film co-starred Hammer star Christopher Lee, who spends much of the running time in an outrageous smoking jacket. Speaking of Hammer studios, the episode wraps up with a discussion of their Karnstein trilogy, a watershed moment for lesbian vampire cinema. Films like The Vampire Lovers (1970), Lust for a Vampire (1971), and Twins of Evil (1971) — as well as some of the studio’s outlier efforts like The Brides of Dracula (1960) or Countess Dracula (1971) — left a bloody mark on vampire films. With minimal violence and plenty of nudity from buxom starlets like Ingrid Pitt, these films generally depict aristocratic vampires preying on innocent young ladies in pastoral settings. A film like The Vampire Lovers was famous for its use of lesbianism and casual nudity, but is quite restrained compared to the films discussed in episode two by European directors like Jess Franco and Jean Rollin.

This week Jim Wallace and I take in a retro screening of Hammer studios 1970s collaboration with AIP, The Vampire Lovers starring Peter Cushing and Ingrid Pitt.This sexually charged, fanged tooth outing brings more sultriness to the stiff collars of stuffy period England than previously thought possible. It was probably so risqué at the time that it made audiences tut loudly and shift uncomfortably in their seats while looking for a stray mint imperial in their corduroy jacket pockets.What did we think? listen and find out!ENJOY!Support the After Movie Diner over at www.Patreon.com/aftermoviediner Visit us on the web at www.aftermoviediner.comand find the music mentioned in the show over at miscplumbingfixtures.bandcamp.com

We look at the first of the Hammer Karnstein Trilogy, 1970 lesbian vampire movie VAMPIRE LOVERS, starring the lovely Ingrid Pitt.

There's not much that can be said about this one without using words like 'nubile', 'heaving', 'bouncing' or 'woodsman's daughter' but I'll try. Ingrid Pitt and Madeline Smith are……No. No, that's it, I need to go and have a cold shower.
