Fans of this film must check out Richard Klemensen's LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS, issue number 14, for, thus far, the final word on this masterpiece.

You can order the issue from Klemensen's website, which, curiously, is titled--Little Shoppe of Horrors.

Quote:
Peel's casting just strikes me as perhaps a veiled decision to take the Dracula series in a different direction that just wasn't popular at that time. The sapphic vamps of "The Vampire Lovers" and "Lust For A Vampire" would become prevalent years later, but similar ambiguity toward the male of the species stayed pretty under the radar.


I'm not sure that this is borne out by any research on the film or interviews with those who participated in its making. It is a tantalizing premise, to be sure, but I fear a fanciful one, for if the title is to believed it was the "Brides" of Dracula and not the "Bridegrooms."
