The Dracula Dynasty (1990)
Alfredo B. Crevenna was born in Germany, but would find his way to Mexico, where he directed tons of movies between 1945 and 1995. Seriously, the guy has a catalog that rivals people like Jess Franco. Of date, I’ve seen his film The Fury of the Karate Experts, which pits Santo against, well, karate experts, as […]
The Vampire Doll (1970)
Michio Yamamoto was the assistant director on Throne of Blood and second unit on the Mifune film Shogun Assassin before creating a trilogy of bloodsucker thrills for Toho*, the same studio that gifted us with Godzilla. It comes in the wake of Hammer’s Technicolor remakes of classic horror films like Horror of Dracula, a movie which was a […]
The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974)
Okay. So we told you about the celluloid hodgepodges of two the Harrys, aka Hope and Tampa, with their respective films Smokey and the Judge (from our “Fast and Furious Week”) and Nocturna (from our now showing “Vampire Week”). Now, if you enjoyed (I sure did!), but thought Hope’s grafting hicksploitation into disco was nuts, […]
Zoltan…Hound of Dracula (1977)
You know how some idiot always ends up pulling the stake out of Dracula? This time, a moron does the same thing to Dracula’s dog Zoltan. Yes, an entire film about vampiric dogs — not to be confused with Devil Dog Hound of Hell — directed by Albert Band. PS: We have more dogs on our […]
Hannah Queen of the Vampires (1973)
Also known as La Tumba de la Isla Maldita (The Tomb of the Cursed Island); Young Hanna, Queen Of The Vampires; Crypt of the Living Dead and Vampire Woman, this Spanish film was originally directed by Julio Salvador with new footage added by Ray Denton (Deathmaster, Psycho Killer). TV western-bred scribe Lou Shaw, who wrote The Bat People, tweaked the Spanish […]
Tainted (1998)
What if Kevin Smith introduced vampires into his 1994 debut breakthrough film, Clerks? Well, courtesy of that spare $35,000 in actor-writer Sean Farley’s pocket, we have our answer. Oh, and don’t be distributor duped: Troma didn’t bankroll or produce this: they only gave it a national release (beyond the film’s initial, self-distributed Midwest boarders) via […]
