Crypt of the Vampire

We're delving into new territory, thanks to our Patrons' nominations of a wide selection of pre-80s films! In this episode, we're looking at Crypt of the Vampire – a 1964 Italian/Spanish gothic horror movie based on Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 novel Carmilla and starring the iconic Christopher Lee in a fetching dressing gown. It's got castles, thunderstorms, suits of armour, drippy candles, satanic rituals that involve lying naked face down on a marble floor (not great for the nips), lesbian eroticism, decidedly 60s eyeliner and some fantastic dream sequences. But does it make any sense? Does it actually have in vampires in it?
