Two vintage studio still photographs from the 1970 British-American film. Based on Sheridan Le Fanu's 1871 novella, "Carmilla." An erotic, vampire horror entry in which a beautiful, seductive vampire befriends a young woman and begins to feast off her blood. The lesbian relationship between the vampire and her young victim concerned the censor, who warned that they might have to cut significant portions before it was suitable for release. However, once the production company made it clear that the lesbian relationship was implied in the source material and was not simply a sensationalist ploy, the film was released uncensored. Set in Styria, shot on location in England. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. Johnson and Del Vecchio, p. 317.

DVD. Condition: Neu. Neu -Der Schriftsteller Chetwynd-Hayes wird auf einer Straße von einem seltsamen Mann angesprochen. Dieser entpuppt sich als hungriger Vampir. Eramus, wie der Blutsauger heißt, beißt den Schriftsteller und nimmt sein Opfer zum Dank für dessen roten Saft mit in den Monster-Club. Dieser ist ein heimlicher Treffpunkt für schaurige Kreaturen. Zwischen den Musik- und Tanzdarbietungen erzählt Eramus drei Schauergeschichten. Für Horrorspezialist Roy Ward Baker (Gruft der Vampire, Dracula Nacht des Entsetzens) war dies die letzte Kinoproduktion. Hierfür versammelte er die Genregrößen Vincent Price, Donald Pleasence, John Carradine sowie Bond-Girl Britt Ekland. Das Lexikon des Internationalen Films schrieb: Mit bekannten Darstellern des klassischen Gruselfilms parodistisch inszenierte Horrorfilm-Anthologie, die ihre Geschichten mit Sinn für Humor, aber auch mit Gespür für Schockeffekte erzählt. 0 pp. Deutsch.
