Editorial Review: Description: Blood of the Vampire: When Dr. John Pierre (Vincent Ball) is falsely accused of practising medical heresy, he is sent to a remote castle prison run by Dr. Callistratus (Donald Wolfit), a maniacal scientist who specializes in strange diseases of the blood. Aided by violent prison guards and a creepy hunchback, Dr. Callistratus proves to be much more than he seems. A moody Gothic horror film in the grand Hammer tradition, penned by famed terror scribe, Jimmy Sangster (Curse of Frankenstein, Horror of Dracula). The Hellfire Club: A rollicking swashbuckler set in the 1700s, The Hellfire Club stars Keith Michell as Jason, an adventurous young man who returns to the ancestral estate after a lengthy absence to claim his lordship, only to discover that his cousin Thomas (Peter Arne) has taken over and turned it into a lusty den of sin and inequity governed by an infamous secret society called the Hellfire Club. Directed by the legendary filmmaking team of Robert S. Baker and Monty Berman and written by Jimmy Sangster. Average Rating:

I'm not a horror movie buff per se but I'll watch a Classic on TV if I happen to ...

I'm not crazy about the "drive-in" packaging with the corny drive-in ads et al but the films alone are worth the purchase of the disc. 1958's color "Blood of the Vampire" was thought long lost but here we have a good print that is only slightly faded. In 1880, a good doctor is accused of malpractice and railroaded into a prison for the criminally insane run by a mad doctor experimenting in blood ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
