TASTE the BLOOD of DRACULA

[RCMerchant]

I just rewatched this the other night. The first time I saw it was on the CBS LATE MOVIE in the mid-70's:

Chris Lee is back in black and rolling in the red in this 5th installment in the Hammer Dracula series.
Plot: Three old degenerates are jaded with whore houses and booze and yearn for a new thrill. (I guess they didn't have bunji jumping or LSD back then.) So they hook up with Satanist Ralph (HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN,DR.JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE) Bates who dares them to particapate in a Black Mass involving-well-tasting the blood of Dracula. When they get down to the nitty gritty,all three of the old farts turn chicken sh!t and Ralph does the dirty deed himself -and drinks a goblet of Dracula's blood. Bad move on his part. He's dead-and magically transforms into the Count,who proceeds to wreack havoc on buxom Hammer babes.

I've seen all the Hammer Dracula filmsthis is a new fav--lotsa fun! A good effect-Chris's eyes turn entirly red in one scene-not bloodshot-just pure red. Real creepy!  




If yer a fan of Hammer films (and who isn't?)or Dracula films or Chris Lee-this is a keeper!

This trailer is much murkier than the film itself-done in the garish Hammer style!

Seen it; I like all the Hammer CHRISTOPHER LEE Draculas... though that series seemed to devolve... TASTE THE BLOOD is 1970, ergo, late... that lead guy, wasn't he from DR. JECKYL & SISTER HYDE...?

Yes- He turned into Martine Bestwick in that film. If I turned into her=I'd have sex with myself on a daily basis. ( Though I do that anyway latley... )

I bought all the Chistopher Lee and/or Peter Cushing DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, and MUMMY DVDs and have watched each of them several times.  Real good stuff for a rainy Saturday afternoon.

OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!  Too much information.  Even here, there is a limit.

By the by, could someone smell this boil on my wank and tell me if it smells like grapes?

I have this on a digitally restored 4 movie set (Yay Warner Bros!)  but haven't watched it yet. What I did watch was it's stoner cousin Dracula AD 1972 which is just great.

Man, that brings back so many memories.  They'd never have something like that today - you'd get a 10 second commercial for Big Brother 11 or something instead.  And when the movie would start, there wouldn't be any banner ad's popping up, no network logo in the corner, no "TV 14 MA" in the other corner.  And as long as you had the antenna pointed in just the right direction, you'd even get good reception 

And a Hammer film, on network Television?  My god, when was the last time that happened?

I, too, was a fan of the CBS late movie.  That bumper from YouTube is SO 1970s!  I remember lying on the living room floor in my parents house after mom and dad went to bed and watching the CBS late movie and other stuff on late-night TV.  Cable and other modern technology is great, but I miss those old network "movie of the week" type shows.  Mill Creek has a 50 Movie Pack full of made-for-TV movies starring actors like Bill Bixby, Bill Cosby, and others from that era.  It's great cheese.  But I digress . . .

I came of age as a crap film fan thanks to the CBS Late Movie.  They showed Night Of The Lepus, The Bat People, Who Slew Auntie Roo? and lots of other gawd-awful movies. 

Odd story: Thanks to sitting up and watching these movies, I was constantly tired. One night, I sat on the end of the coffee table to watch a scene before going on into the kitchen to get something to snack on. I woke up, stretched out on the coffee table, to my mother standing over me the next morning saying, "You're lucky I found you and not your dad.  And you aren't sitting up late any more."

That lasted one night.  But I never sat on the coffee table again.
