That one took a minute to get going but I thoroughly enjoyed it and all our various digressions! Have a good night, see y'all round the campfire.

Always love catching the Hammer rep company character actors like Madden, Michael Ripper, or Miles Malleson. Ripper appeared in last week's Frankenstein film as one of the grave robbers in the opening, and is always showing up as innkeepers, local tradesmen and such.

Sorry, I had to take back that 'like' coz I've only seen maybe 4 or 5 Hammer flicks.
This is a goodun tho!

I will say that this is nowhere near where I expected this story to go, and that's very cool.

Who needs stakes when you can send a flock of bats to kill them all?
#FrightClub #KissOfTheVampire
Just noticed on the video artwork for this. The lady on the left has her back bent at a 90 degree angle backwards. She must've been a rhythmic gymnast. #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub
Interesting they went for the use of hermetic magic to defeat the vampires instead of stakes.
#FrightClub #KissOfTheVampire
There we go. They figured out how to move the strings so the bats flap their wings just a little. Verisimilitude is important, people. #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub
Ah, c'mon, Hammer, surely you could have had some of the bats flap their wings. Although the bat twerking on that one lady's leg was a nice touch. #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub
Peter Madden as Bruno - a great Hammer staple character actor, appeared in several of the Frankensteins, and was the undertaker in the opening sequence of TV series The Prisoner. He also made a great Lestrade in the BBC Sherlock Holmes series with Douglas Wilmer.

I always wanted The Amazing Criswell to be a #Batman66 villain.
This is basically that.

With all those white gowns...surely the Power of Bleach compels them. #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub

Seriously, whatever you're in the mood for, Tubi's got something at least in that ballpark. Beats the shit outta Netflix at the very least.

The big servant? I would have called him husky, not necessarily big big. #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub
Attacked and overcome by a footstool! #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub
She ptooied him like she's been wanting to for ages. #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub
Kind of rude that Gerald didn't return Carl's white tie and tails.

In case you were wondering how far behind I am by now.

So this is a Hammer knockoff of the Lady Vanishes story which Alfred Hitchcock made as a film and an AHP episode “Into Thin Air” also the basis for the excellent So Long At the Fair

Wait, the German Van Helsing DOESN'T want to go after the vampires during the day? #KissOfTheVampire #FrightClub
Suspected Bruno was in on it from the start.
#FrightClub #KissOfTheVampire
Don't think I've seen a Van Helsing stand-in as an obnoxious drunk before.
