Mar 28 09 5:41 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm a fan of the euro gothic films, most with vampires, such as Satan's Wedding Night, Devil's Nightmare, Dracula's Great Love, The Dracula Saga, Torture Camber of Dr. Sadism etc. I am aware of Vampire's Night Orgy and Malenka, are there some other titles that would fit nicely? I'm not crazy about the Blind Dead films. Maybe Blood Ceremony which is coming in May from Mye.

Mar 29 09 6:57 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	"Actually" is a direct quote from my fading memory. I went to the drive-in in Cincinnati that night in 1974, fully expecting some good old schlocky fun at best. Somewhere fairly early in the movie I started thinking, "hey, this is actually pretty good". You're right, though, 'pretty good' is probably not endorsement enough.

I saw Playgirls on tv once but it was cut. I'll bet the uncut disc is fun. I guess there is a number of 60's gothics I haven't seen. It's great that these fims are finally getting out and uncut.

A few more: Adrian Hoven's Cave of the Living Dead, Renato Polselli's Monster of the Opera, Giorgio Ferroni's Night of the Devils, and Young Hannah, Queen of the Vampire (w/Andrew Prine and Mark Damon). Devil's Nightmare is Euro and gothic, but there are no vampires in it! Erika Blanc plays a succubus who kills off a group of people via the seven deadly sins.

Mar 30 09 7:05 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	You're right about Nightmare, but the gothic elements in it fit right in, for me. The same with Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism. I also liked Cronos, although I'ts a vampire flick without the gothic bits. The Andrew Prine flick sounds intriguing.

Apr 1 09 10:25 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Also: SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES Jean Rollin, 1971 These two are known as werewolf films, but most definitely are about vampires: WEREWOLF SHADOW (Werewolf Vs. The Vampire Woman) Leon Klimovsky, 1971 or it's bigger budget and excellent remake: THE NIGHT OF THE WEREWOLF 1980 I just know there's more, but I'll have to look through my archives some more. I love these films too! both with Paul Naschy, and featuring a great werewolf versus vampire fight. The Curse of the Vampyr Jose Maria Elorrieta, 1972 Night of the Walking Dead (Strange Love Of The Vampires) Leon Klimovsky, 1977

Over at the mya communications blog there is a long list of films to be released through 2011, but I didn't see Night of the Walking Dead. It would be nice to get a decent transfer of it. They do have Hunchback of the Rue Morgue on the list though.

Dec 23 11 2:02 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I love Count Dracula's Great Love. It has a good cast and is different. http://grindhousegothique.blogspot.com/2012/03/love-bites-count-draculas-great-love.html I think he could have been as iconic as Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi if he'd had a better script.

There is a real nice anamorphic subbed version around and I found it stylish and worth a mention, but not a Euro gothic vampire film by any means. I only mention it so that it is not taken as one.

Dec 23 11 8:16 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	In the case of "Le vampire de Dusseldörf", the fact that it's not about a "true" vampire is revealed in the title itself, as it was the surname given to real serial killer Peter Kürten, and this movie is based on his criminal life. Similarly - but not explained by its title - Argentina's "El vampiro negro" is a semi-remake of Fritz Lang's "M", with Nathan Pinzon in the Peter Lorre role.

Mar 17 12 10:25 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I like, Daughters of Darkness (The best of the lot IMO) Blood Spattered Bride Vampyres Vampires Night Orgy (good luck finding a decent print) The Witch Lemora; A Child's Tale Of The Supernatural (not Euro, but fun) Vampiros Lesbos Black Sunday/Black Sabbath You might want to see if any of the films of Jean Rollin suit you.
