Vampire Lovers/Lust For A Vampire
In LUST FOR A VAMPIRE, Swedish stunner Yutte Stensgaard stars as the reincarnation of the notorious female vampire Carmilla Karnstein. A follow up to THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, which, like this film, is based on the writings of Sheridan le Fanu. Here, le Fanu's famed vampiress takes the form of Mircalla, a stunning young finishing school student at an all girls' school. Mircalla satisfies her lust for blood by preying on her classmates, all of whom are drawn to her stunning looks. However, Mircalla's sensuality also attracts the attentions of Lestrange, a teacher at the school with whom she falls in love. An entertainingly tawdry Hammer vampire movie, LUST FOR A VAMPIRE is most notable for Ms. Stensgaard's sultry star turn.
In THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, the very life force of a young woman is slowly drained from her each time she makes love to her lesbian lover. Her angry father is understandably upset at her choice of a vampire for a sexual partner. The incomparable Pitt is in fine form in this erotically charged 1970 effort from England's Hammer House of Horror!

Did this film really originally last for 3 hours?
It seemed to go quicker than that up in the 2 and 9 circle seats of my local flea-pit.

Atmospherically sexy adaptation of Carmilla and some of the vampires don't get killed, but where was ever the sequel?

A credible offering from the 60s/70s horror masters. Enjoyable movie with those almost realistic Boreham Wood sets. Not surprising to see Peter Cushing in a ...

I Was a Teenage Vampire
Vampires have always been immortal but why is it that they keep getting younger – and hotter? Think about it. The movie’s first notable bloodsucker was Max Schreck as Count Orlock in the German silent classic Nosferatu (1922). Coincidentally, Schreck is the German word for “terror”, but it was the actor’s real name. He was in his early 40s at the time, but the bald, bone-thin, rodent-like Orlock could easily have been in his 60s. I don’t think I’m...
