October Horror Moviethon: THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS
Tonight's Movie: Roman Polanski's 1967 horror spoof, The Fearless Vampire Killers, a visually arresting yet only intermittently amusing satire of Hammer-styled gothics. I'd only seen random parts of the movie on cable before tonight, but thanks to the Warner Archive streaming channel, I was able to finally check it off my list. Fun poster by the great Frank Frazetta. (Well, the bottom part is Frazetta, anyway.)

It's too bad it was a comedy. There are some absolutely thrilling horror visuals in there that still stand out in my mind.
Watch for the mirror in the ballroom scene - 'Van Helsing' movie ripped it directly.
