Madeline Smith in The Vampire Lovers striking possibly the most gothic pose ever committed to film. She sits on the bed in a low cut nightgown looking wistfully into the middle distance as the full moon shines through the open window.

Waist up digital artwork of the main antagonist, Mircalla, from the 1970 film The Vampire Lovers. She is depicted as wearing her iconic red dress and brandishing her red gemstone necklace. This is fanart.
Mircalla 🧛♀️🐈⬛

That was excellent. I'm a sucker for a good Dorian Gray reference!
Aside: Why is it no film adaptation can cast him properly?
#TheVampireLovers #FrightClub
Marcilla is Mircalla! O, the shock of it all!
Stan was not kidding about those milk jugs. It's rare for that size to be so perky; I looked up when implants started. It's possible but unlikely. I think Pitt just was a unicorn in this aspect, like Alexandra Daddario.
#TheVampireLovers #FrightClub
Marcilla can just fade out like that?!?
NICE POWER

I don't know how much money Hammer Film Productions spent on fog machines over the years, but it clearly wasn't enough. #FrightClub #TheVampireLovers
I like him. But, yeah. Given that he is clear on the concept, he really should've seen it.

So she does eat the occasional man
An early flexitarian

Even the film was like... where did Peter Cushing go? #FrightClub #TheVampireLovers
Butler gets fresh!
I mean, it worked though so, good for him
#TheVampireLovers #FrightClub
This poor maid is just trying to do her job and everyone is trying to micromanage the situation.
#FrightClub #TheVampireLovers
Forgive me, I mean Marcilla (aka Mircalla)
It's all the same character, but
#TheVampireLovers #FrightClub
Carmilla: I'm sorry, honey, I'm just over all these mortal concerns
Also yes it is the same thing 😏
