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.
ReplyDeleteWatch for the mirror in the ballroom scene - 'Van Helsing' movie ripped it directly.
