from Vampire Videos · host Film Stories
[14x8] In this episode, we’re sinking our teeth into the 1958 British cult classic Blood of the Vampire. Often mistaken for a Hammer Film—thanks to its lush production design and a script by the legendary Jimmy Sangster—this independent gem carved out its own grisly niche in horror history. And returning to the show is our regular horror academic and all-round vampire expert, Prof. Stacey Abbott... 🎙️ The Lineup Hosts: Dan Owen & Hugh McStay Guest: Prof. Stacey Abbott Editor: Dan Owen "You can curse the fates that sent you here.
