Make that *THE* KISS OF THE VAMPIRE although the theatrical release poster omitted the definite article. You are correct in that it is a good story, well written, acted with conviction, excellent photography using Eastmancolour with atmosphere and immaculately accurate periodic tailoring but it should not be watched alone, especially at nighttime. It is doubtful that the altar boy would have run away instead of staying with the priest during the funeral at the beginning (3:17) as courage has always been a prerequisite for being a ministrant.
Hammer movies had that dark gothic horror that's unbeatable . No scatty teenagers driving fast cars , no boring repetitive story lines, no excess gore . Just good acting and suspense.
How old are you and from what country ? I can assure you than in the 1980's Europe people were still dressping properly and with some courtesy. But the the big loss in morals and dressing code happened when the small hat people fomented the 1960's hippie movements and rebelled against their parents. Started doing drugs and promiscuous sex etc..
"KISS OF THE VAMPIRE", a Hammer horror production of 1963, is one of the best Dracula/vampire related films I have ever watched, and by now I have watched upwards of 30, including NOSFERATU, the Bela Lugosi 1931 film, and many others. Even color does not interfere with the menacing surroundings, the ravenous and bloothirsty Ravener family. Count Ravener is memorably and smoothly evil without trying. The mask ball sequence is superb, reminded me of Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT. The sole down side is that the ending is clipped, perhaps something can be done about it, Otherwise, my deep gratitude for this experience and for sharing this film.
Frank Langella's Dracula from 1979 has long been a fav of mine. That voice & those dark eyes...much more seductive than this droll misty blue eyed version.
I pay for sky movies and Netflix, yet, I still find myself searching for the old British horror movies all the time. We all aspire to as elegant as the brilliant British.
I don't have a TV licence OR Netflix or Sky Movies. All I need is RUclips, some comedy and the entire history of movies from around the world (from the silent era to around, let's say, 2012?) on bluray and DVD. That'll do me till I die.
old school vampire movie flicks are always the best ones to watch because they capture the true essence of what it takes to create a classic example of what it means to truly say the word horror in excellent pictures .
This movie and lot of the Hammer horror movies knew how to scare the life out of me. I grew up in 60s and 70s enjoying these great films. I love Hammer movies. They knew how to put the fear in people without vulgar language and nudity. I miss these kinds of movies. There was suspense as well as class, elegance and style. Good acting and a good storyline is what makes a movie.
Nothing better than English Gothic Horror in my book ! Great sets and locations great acting and good looking hammer babes. At 56 I still love these as much as when I was 10 year old kid ~
I have a question. I can't figure out the name of this movie that I saw at work. The plot was a young girl dancing for her new hubby and the big celebration of their wedding. Next is a huge wind comes about and the lady dies. The next scene is the graveyard and a huge gust of wind and her coffee opens and then she wakes up. It's something of Devil- can't remember the first of the title.
They sure don't make them like they use to anymore...those were the days. Thank you Hammer Films for the memories and it was a fun watching your films with popcorn and beverage in the dark.
The Kiss of the Vampire (1963), aka Kiss of Evil, Hammer Film Productions. Director: Don Sharp Write/Producer: Anthony Hinds Starring: Edward de Souza, Jennifer Daniel, Clifford Evans, Barry Warren, Noel Willman.
Love the old horrors.....with their gothic atmospheric charm, uncomplicated storytelling,...done with a warmth and honesty,.that's sadly lost in so many modern day chillers....miss those wonderful times
Gosh these horror films remind me of my childhood. Simply the best and damn good acting and suspense! Besides a few good action films and documentaries made recently, I find myself watching films from the 1930's(even earlier) into the early 2000's.
Hello, by any chance, have you ever watched a vampire movie which is the white chubby guy attends college and there he met the girl who accepted him as a vampire?
These old classics are The Best. Always Charming characters, like the elderly inkeeper, with a heart of gold, to steal your heart. Such good old humor: "My wife is a good woman; but a cook? .. Huh, ho." The magical Eerieness in the predictable, but thrilling plot. I wish we still had this in our generation.
The class, the style, the ambiance of a Hammer Horror movie is simply unmatched. No big budget CGI or outlandish special effects. Just really good acting coupled with good story telling and great settings. The suspense builds not from gore but from good story telling.
You are right. If any of this was or is part of our reality it would be exactly like this, eerie, subtle, suspensful and genuinely terrifying. Hammer captured all the moods perfectly, like the Universal horror pics.
You’ve gotta love Hammer Horror films. The acclaimed and beloved British singer Kate Bush, who grew up mesmerized by the Hammer films and ventured out to see them every chance she got, was so enthralled with the artistry and passion breathed into each film, that she decided to pay tribute to the films by writing and recording a song about it. Just in time for Halloween, 1978, Kate Bush’s spooky little ode "Hammer Horror" was released as the first single from her second album “Lionheart” on October 27, 1978. Sadly, it wasn’t well-received by mainstream audiences, but you can bet your last pint of blood Hammer Horror fans ate it up. 😉 The video for the song is here on RUclips.
Oh How I miss these old Vampyre movies. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, & Vincent Price. The Creature Features on the Sunday Matinee for $1.50. Sometimes, the movies machine man would throw in an extra movie. Buying the wax vampire teeth at the theater before the movies. No cellphones or talking. People were actually quiet in the theater. Remember those days/evenings? *Thanks For The Upload!
Michael Dust early 60's. God how I miss it. Men were men, women were women, and bullies got a punch in the nose, and you got slapped for getting "fresh".
Hammer cranked out low-budget movies and some were terrific and some were lousy. I can recommend Curse Of Frankenstein, Frankenstein Created Woman, and Horror Of Frankenstein all of their pre-1970 vampire movies and Taste The Blood Of Dracula, The Vampire Lovers, Lust For A Vampire, Countess Dracula, and Vampire Circus Blood From The Mummy's Tomb The Two Faces Of Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Jekyll And Sister Hyde The Devil Rides Out Taste Of Fear Die! Die! My Darling! Vengeance Of She Sword Of Sherwood Forest
Brilliant opening scene....very original ... a shovel as a stake ... the shooting.. Karl's piano playing.....one of the top gems form Hammer. Very underrated as "the two legend" actors not in this movie. One of my favourites along with Vampire Circus.
I remember this one from my childhood. My mom (RIP🧡) used to take me to see these Hammer movies on Saturdays at a local movie theatre. A Hammer vampire movie sans Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee but worth every minute. I especially remember everyone running from the grave in the beginning, the white-robed vampires, and the incantation to destroy them at the end.
Hammer filled my teenage Saturday afternoon Horror-Feasts with my mother and sister in the living room with the enjoyment of horror and film history. They certainly do not make them like this or this good anymore. I would love to see what Hammer could have done if they had the budgets and technology we have today.
Great film, still love it. I do love when the husband says to the wife, " Stay in the car, you'll be quite safe." It's an open top car, with no way of locking herself in. 🤣🤣🤣
If i was s writer about vampires I would like to have British actors to play the roles of thede characters These movies will be endless classic and will never be forgotten Thank you Hammer Productions.
The production is of a high standard. The directing is well done. The storyline is compelling. The character development is clear. The pacing is easy to follow. The characters are well cast.

Thanks for the memories . love the stylish old gothic hammer films. Not to mention the ambiance most of them set. Hollywood today is nothing but jump scares using same old rehashed formulas. And of course over used CGI when ever they get a chance. Ashame most people laugh at these old horror classics. They r clueless. These r what horror. Was in its purest form. Thx again
Nothing beats the beauty n charisma of old movies. I'm sure if there were entertainment app that only specializes in classic movies, it wud be watched by many people

The thing about classic old horror and monsters, as Martin Landau's ageing Lugosi said in 'Ed Wood', is that they are mythic: you may think it's corny and the effects ropey, and the acting unnatural but they have their roots in ancient fairy stories and folk tales and real humans respond to them from their subconscious. They are part of the dream life of our species. These stories should be something even a robust child could watch, and be thrilled, and also enchanted by the weird beauty of old stories.
These are the uses of enchantment to beguile and teach. They are mysterious, deeply reflective and cautionary. Wierd and evil things happen even when we are good. Count your blessings!
@@jeanettesdaughter two mice are arguing behind the bureau. Im in bed and do not want to turn on the light - scared I will see them. Instead I just shouted, from under the covers, "NO! NO!!"
"You stay in the open car in the middle of Transylvania, with its wolves, bears, bandits, and vampires. You'll be perfectly safe." Good old tacky Hammer Films!
Good old fashioned flick! I'm sure it's just me being a typical old man, but nowadays, horror movies tend to be horrible in a very unscary kind of way.
Murry Witzel No, you are so right. It is since the 1980s, and then I was seventeen. So... nothing with old or so. My Mother brought me up watching those films with her. I enjoyed it so much! And yes, it WAS frightful to watch! And then everything changed. We were so disappointed the first two or three films, and then we had to accept everything had changed. It vacate just nasty. I am so thankful for the Internet now, and only wished she could still be here with me, we would enjoy it together like back then. I miss her every day, and this is such a moment, zoo. But it makes me happy to read your comment. You sound like a friend :) Best wishes, dear!
Oh sooo true, I really miss the old horror movies!!!! Especially the vampire and werewolf movies, my favorite is Bellowing part 1, and Enterveiw with a vampire, those were the good ones, it took my breath when I saw them turning into werewoles, it looked so real, scared the shit out of me!!! I really miss the old scary movies!!!!
That's because the young idiot's now a days that write and direct etc. have no clue. They lack plot for one, romance comedy etc..It's just sex, shock value and idiot stuff. They even twisted and destroyed monster mythes and replaced it with power ranger-ninja turtle dumb assery that has nothing to do with the actual monsters etc..
When I was a kid in grade school in the 50's I went to see a vampire movie and it scared the sh!"#'t out of me. I looked around every corner on the way home. Now I like watching watching vampire movies. Lol
saw this at around 10 years old...scared the crap outta me. in those days you paid .75 cents to see a slew of hammer films. found this opening shocking as hell.....slept with the light on until a few years ago....and im 60 now ..lol
The scenario is very high quality , like the rooms , furniture , light fixtures , piano , etc . wow !! even the hotel is immaculate !! and the velvet clothes . Thanks for uploading .
Remember when movies didn't have fantastic special effects and shocking sex and violence , the hammer movies are rich in quality and entertain without being vile or disturbing ahh the good ole days.
LOL...when the Hammer movies were originally released, they WERE considered disturbing and shocking. In that "good old days" era, they were considered crude and vile, and were criticized for being too gory and too sexy. The British Board of Film Classification required cuts from even the firsts of the Hammer's horror series, "Curse of Frankenstein" (1957) and "Horror of Dracula" (1958) for release in the UK. Sure, since we've become accustomed to even more violence and sex in the subsequent sixty years (I'm age 62, by the way), those early films seem tame -- but they struck the audiences of that era as very violent, sexual, and gruesome. What people remember as "the good ol' days" exist only in we humans' short-and-selective memories, typically filtered through how we as naive, unaware children perceived the world around us then. But to the adults living during the era, those days were not "good". I've been a fan of Hammer's Dracula and vampire films since I was about ten years old. I still find them very entertaining
THANK YOU for sharing this!! I absolutely adore older movies. I'm a genuine Hammer Horror fan although as I've gotten older I've been lucky to see other movies from Hammer that I didn't even know existed. And then, there are some older, horror movies that I remember a few of the scenes to but don't know the title of. It was tough being a kid fighting your sleep trying to be an "adult" on Saturday nights. These were movies that mattered. *sigh* 😞😞😞
C J-The Ice Princess I'm 60 and been a horror/syfy fan all my life. My library is stocked with mainly older horror films. I spend a lot of time of You Tube or Amazon Prime looking for 50s & 60s scary movies. Even though I have this one on a Hammer set I have never watched it.
Lucas McCain 58 here ! I used to be allowed to stay up late on Saturday nights ( UK ) when I was a youngster , rest of the family went to bed . I was allowed to stay up to watch the ' Don't watch alone ' series , an oldie horror film followed by a more modern one . Wonderful times 😂😘
I remember as a child watching one where some people came into a old town and couldn't get out and ended up in a church with vampires out side so would love to know what this movie was
The quiet quality of these old horror gothic films allows the deep down curdle of fear to be felt, unlike today's horror movies, which are basically gimmick teenie bopper action films. The over the top noisy saturation of sound, effects, and slickly produced business while sometimes overtly scary don't have the essence of an unyielding taste of the more seriously felt subtle vapor of horror that never goes away after the monster is killed.
The title should read "The Kiss of the Vampire". It was originally intended to be the third movie in Hammer's Dracula series (which began with 1958's Dracula with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and was followed by 1960's The Brides of Dracula with Cushing alone), it was another attempt by Hammer to make a Dracula sequel without Christopher Lee. The final script, by Anthony Hinds, makes no reference to "Dracula," and expands further on the directions taken in Brides by portraying vampirism as a social disease afflicting those who choose a decadent lifestyle. - From Wikipedia. Show less REPLY
@Jamie Brank I sort of agree. However, Christopher Lee was responsible for breaking the mode of the slow-moving vampire and added some physicality to the role. But my favorite Dracula of all time is Francis Lederer. But he only played Dracula twice. Once in "The Return of Dracula" and once for Rod Serling's "Night Gallery" ("The Devil is Not Mocked"). I guess Mr. Serling also noted how good he was in that role.
henrycbrennan - Dah😱 The MOVIE, Title DOES Read “The KISS of The VAMPIRE”starting @3:39 EXACTLY I’m Not Certain What Movie it WAS YOU WERE watching?!?? But it clearly wasn’t this one. L M A O 😂🤣😂🤣HAHAHAHAHhahahaha Perhaps 🤔 You should THINK before YOU comment! You can type ALL the Mumble Jumble You choose, YOU still do not have any idea what you are talking about… LOL 😆 Have a Blessed Day.
Again l say thanks for the memories sallis 65 love old horror movies reminds me of good old days when l was way younger and when movies were movies . Excellent choice of movies . Keep them coming Thank you so much.
Yes, good English, You don't need captions to understand what they say. No swearing just good old fun. Can't say I care much for young vampire like Guard Dog says. teenagers with dental issues and dietary quirks
When he rammed the shovel into the coffin and folks took off running, it was like somebody shouted, "Funeral's over, everybody back to my place. Time to get plastered!"
The actor who played the male servant of the hotel was an excellent actor. So genuinely enthusiastic about the guests with a touch of the innocence that people of the countryside used to have back in those times.
Yet its usually TRUE i'm NOT talking about todays Action films i'm talking Horror,Hollywood re-makes movies that is useless to me the Originals shouldn't be tampered with produce NEW films from New scripts. The older English/Italian Horror films along with Hollywoods (Rosemary's Baby,The Mephisto Waltz,Texas Chainsaw & Last House On Left -Independant Films- were good horror from here,they outshine the New stuff,a slasher film is just gore & blood,i want a Horror film that literally frightens the audience. DM (Pgh,PA.)
The name of this movie is “Kiss Of The Vampire” (1963). It stars Clifford Evans. Just like all other Hammer Films horrors, this is a good one.
thanx...i'll give er a go...
The older movies are the best I think.
Make that *THE* KISS OF THE VAMPIRE although the theatrical release poster omitted the definite article. You are correct in that it is a good story, well written, acted with conviction, excellent photography using Eastmancolour with atmosphere and immaculately accurate periodic tailoring but it should not be watched alone, especially at nighttime. It is doubtful that the altar boy would have run away instead of staying with the priest during the funeral at the beginning (3:17) as courage has always been a prerequisite for being a ministrant.

What’s a robust child. Are u saying a fat kid with snacks can watch these movies? Well I agree but only if he shares his snacks
Beautifully said!
These are the uses of enchantment to beguile and teach. They are mysterious, deeply reflective and cautionary. Wierd and evil things happen even when we are good. Count your blessings!

Good old tacky Hammer Films!
Bavon WW love those Hammer films
He should have asked her to come along with him.
Fun touch to include an automobile; they rarely did in these Hammer costume horrors.
At least she’s not in Detroit
Lol... I loved the dangling bats at the end 🦇 😆 pmsl
love these old gothic movies. Thank you for sharing.
I first saw this when it was still shown at the cinema! Early 60s? I have never seen it since!
Thanks for posting!
I remember the horror movies like this on tv late Friday nights when I was a kid.
I absolutely love these old English vampires movies!
Fukin amazing film.!.
No hellywood effects and a big serving of irony at the end.!!.
Rating of 15 out of 10...
Saturday nights, late film BBC1, windy and cold outside, atmospheric. Loved watching.
Thank you for a great movie, no ads and captions!
My kids and grandkids make fun of me for watching theses old horror films. I love them
Good old fashioned flick! I'm sure it's just me being a typical old man, but nowadays, horror movies tend to be horrible in a very unscary kind of way.
I agree....it's more about the Gore than the suspense.

No, you are so right. It is since the 1980s, and then I was seventeen. So... nothing with old or so.
My Mother brought me up watching those films with her. I enjoyed it so much! And yes, it WAS frightful to watch!
And then everything changed. We were so disappointed the first two or three films, and then we had to accept everything had changed. It vacate just nasty.
I am so thankful for the Internet now, and only wished she could still be here with me, we would enjoy it together like back then. I miss her every day, and this is such a moment, zoo.
But it makes me happy to read your comment. You sound like a friend :)
Best wishes, dear!
Oh sooo true, I really miss the old horror movies!!!! Especially the vampire and werewolf movies, my favorite is Bellowing part 1, and Enterveiw with a vampire, those were the good ones, it took my breath when I saw them turning into werewoles, it looked so real, scared the shit out of me!!! I really miss the old scary movies!!!!
Howllowing part 1 sorry about the spelling!!!
That's because the young idiot's now a days that write and direct etc. have no clue. They lack plot for one, romance comedy etc..It's just sex, shock value and idiot stuff. They even twisted and destroyed monster mythes and replaced it with power ranger-ninja turtle dumb assery that has nothing to do with the actual monsters etc..
Another British horror movie with British actors and a depressing yet exciting story 😀 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wow! A full movie film! All you need is a complete food dinner and you’re totally ready set!
“Food Dinner” ? Is there another kind?
@@jonjames7328girl dinner
I had some toffee popcorn dinner.
England and Europe in general are the best locations for these types of movies.
When I was a kid in grade school in the 50's I went to see a vampire movie and it scared the sh!"#'t out of me. I looked around every corner on the way home. Now I like watching watching vampire movies. Lol
excellent! the inexorable slow march to terror is so good. one of the best vampire movies ever made.
saw this at around 10 years old...scared the crap outta me. in those days you paid .75 cents to see a slew of hammer films. found this opening shocking as hell.....slept with the light on until a few years ago....and im 60 now ..lol
Castlevania nes, Bram Stoker Dracula. I now found Gothic vampire movie 🎥 loved it. Awesome film classical
Wow, now THIS is a proper vampire film. Hammer never fails.
I miss these early Hammer productions. Thank goodness for DVDS❤️
I have this on a Hammer set but have never watched til now. Not bad. Good sets, atmospheric and well worth a Saturday night viewing.
If it's a Hammer, you can be sure it's a classic goodie. Great movie.
The scenario is very high quality , like the rooms , furniture , light fixtures , piano , etc . wow !! even the hotel is immaculate !! and the velvet clothes . Thanks for uploading .
Thank goodness I haven’t signed up for Netflix or anything else except RUclips. RUclips has the best selection of movies.
Remember when movies didn't have fantastic special effects and shocking sex and violence , the hammer movies are rich in quality and entertain without being vile or disturbing ahh the good ole days.
Mark Drouin : Have you seen Twins of Evil? One of many Hammer Films with sexual innuendo, hot young girls showing lot of breast
@@paulhunter1525 titties are not vile. Human centipede, that's vile. And becoming common.
Hammer's thing was that, for its day, its films were sexual and violent.
My favourite films from the age of 9...
LOL...when the Hammer movies were originally released, they WERE considered disturbing and shocking. In that "good old days" era, they were considered crude and vile, and were criticized for being too gory and too sexy. The British Board of Film Classification required cuts from even the firsts of the Hammer's horror series, "Curse of Frankenstein" (1957) and "Horror of Dracula" (1958) for release in the UK.
Sure, since we've become accustomed to even more violence and sex in the subsequent sixty years (I'm age 62, by the way), those early films seem tame -- but they struck the audiences of that era as very violent, sexual, and gruesome.
What people remember as "the good ol' days" exist only in we humans' short-and-selective memories, typically filtered through how we as naive, unaware children perceived the world around us then. But to the adults living during the era, those days were not "good".
I've been a fan of Hammer's Dracula and vampire films since I was about ten years old. I still find them very entertaining
What I love about these old Hammer horror films is they're so colourful; all the things blaze with flamboyancy.
Agree ! The sets always looked
terrific - these films were low
budget but somehow they managed to create the classic
" Gothic - Mittel Europa " look.
I really like these old time movies.
Christopher Lee, Vincent Price and Peter Cushing my all time favourites ...❤
Everytime I watch a hammer film I get so engrossed in it I wish I lived in the hammer universe these movies are that good
Same
Nothing like Hammer-era vampire movies. They are perfect late at night.
THANK YOU for sharing this!! I absolutely adore older movies. I'm a genuine Hammer Horror fan although as I've gotten older I've been lucky to see other movies from Hammer that I didn't even know existed. And then, there are some older, horror movies that I remember a few of the scenes to but don't know the title of. It was tough being a kid fighting your sleep trying to be an "adult" on Saturday nights. These were movies that mattered. *sigh* 😞😞😞
C J-The Ice Princess I'm 60 and been a horror/syfy fan all my life. My library is stocked with mainly older horror films. I spend a lot of time of You Tube or Amazon Prime looking for 50s & 60s scary movies. Even though I have this one on a Hammer set I have never watched it.
Lucas McCain 58 here ! I used to be allowed to stay up late on Saturday nights ( UK ) when I was a youngster , rest of the family went to bed . I was allowed to stay up to watch the ' Don't watch alone ' series , an oldie horror film followed by a more modern one . Wonderful times 😂😘
@@2010metsfan upload for us! Cheers from Brazil! You are not old...you are ready for life 😊😋
I remember as a child watching one where some people came into a old town and couldn't get out and ended up in a church with vampires out side so would love to know what this movie was
Cannot beat the Classic Hammer films my favourite films
Yes, I love classic vampire movies "Salem's Lot" and this one thanks for the upload. :)
The quiet quality of these old horror gothic films allows the deep down curdle of fear to be felt, unlike today's horror movies, which are basically gimmick teenie bopper action films. The over the top noisy saturation of sound, effects, and slickly produced business while sometimes overtly scary don't have the essence of an unyielding taste of the more seriously felt subtle vapor of horror that never goes away after the monster is killed.
Very well put.
Nothing like a good old school vampire movie classic.
agree mistress
The picture quality is excellent
The title should read "The Kiss of the Vampire". It was originally intended to be the third movie in Hammer's Dracula series (which began with 1958's Dracula with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and was followed by 1960's The Brides of Dracula with Cushing alone), it was another attempt by Hammer to make a Dracula sequel without Christopher Lee. The final script, by Anthony Hinds, makes no reference to "Dracula," and expands further on the directions taken in Brides by portraying vampirism as a social disease afflicting those who choose a decadent lifestyle. - From Wikipedia.

@David_V this is the explanation I was talking about. Hope I tagged you correctly.
Thank you for the information! There is NOTHING in the description.
@Jamie Brank I sort of agree. However, Christopher Lee was responsible for breaking the mode of the slow-moving vampire and added some physicality to the role. But my favorite Dracula of all time is Francis Lederer. But he only played Dracula twice. Once in "The Return of Dracula" and once for Rod Serling's "Night Gallery" ("The Devil is Not Mocked"). I guess Mr. Serling also noted how good he was in that role.
henrycbrennan - Dah😱
The MOVIE, Title DOES Read “The KISS of The VAMPIRE”starting @3:39 EXACTLY
I’m Not Certain What Movie it WAS YOU WERE watching?!??
But it clearly wasn’t this one. L M A O 😂🤣😂🤣HAHAHAHAHhahahaha
Perhaps 🤔 You should THINK before YOU comment!
You can type ALL the Mumble Jumble You choose, YOU still do not have any idea what you are talking about… LOL 😆
Have a Blessed Day.
@@glorybelieve9010 The title that I was referring to was the RUclips title. But, then again, drunk trolls merely want to spew nonsense.
Quite amazing the quality of color for a movie shot in 1962. Positively vibrant
So amazing . Great pictures. They don't make movies like this anymore
I love so mutch
Hey 👋
3.25 I miss the old days, when special effects where poor and blood was just red/orangy paint. lol. thanks for the upload great old movie !!
He isn't leaving me in the forest all alone. These vampire movies are just too simple.
Greetings from Paris, France!!!
Hooked me the minute the shovel pierced through the coffin lid and blood gushed out
Daniel D. Orange paint lol
First scene very scary hammer rox
😄 (lol) " Then, everyone took off including the old priest. "
@@3618499 I'm still laughing !!!
Again l say thanks for the memories sallis 65 love old horror movies reminds me of good old days when l was way younger and when movies were movies . Excellent choice of movies . Keep them coming Thank you so much.
Me being a 1956 baby boomer I enjoy those old horror movies, especially those horror classics with Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, and etc...
babyboomers are born between 1945 and 1955, sowwy.
This is really a well-crafted film. I hope the story line doesn't let it down.
“Goodness, I left the windows down and it’s raining cats and dogs!”
“But darling, the motorcar doesn’t have windows.”
“Silly me.”
The most excellent vampire movie nobody ever heard about !
With that famous actress what's-her-name!😅😂😅😂😅
Yes, good English, You don't need captions to understand what they say. No swearing just good old fun. Can't say I care much for young vampire like Guard Dog says. teenagers with dental issues and dietary quirks
The arrival of the horses and stagecoach is always wonderful.The noises are just great.
Met Mr Price back in the 70s working in his flat. He is just as scary off film.
Les Hughes. I met him in '72. He was a jerk.
Love the way the Priest does a quick sign of the cross before he runs away.
When he rammed the shovel into the coffin and folks took off running, it was like somebody shouted, "Funeral's over, everybody back to my place. Time to get plastered!"
LOL😆♥️
Time to get Hammered. Catholic style.
Opening scene....best funeral ever!
Yes, I always remembered it.
Agree
If someone did that 2 a grave nowadays, it would be a crime of desecration vampire or not
Had my 🖤 lbd 😎
Nowadays, he'd give a _"trigger warning"_ before chucking the shovel, and tell the priest not to assume his gender.
Peter cushing an Christopher lee to me made hammer studios legendary by far!
The Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi of a later generation, my generation.
No doubt, Mr. Hammond. You hit the bullseye
It's too bad Boris Karloff never made a Hammer Film. He did turn up in an Amicus film though, The Curse of the Crimson Alter.
They were always entertaining. I loved the Count Dracula ones with the 1 and only......the late Sir Christopher Lee
Awesome movie. Great movie. Splendid. The sound cuts out a couple of times; but still worth watching.
Johann Farmann
They have to do thus due copyright. Otherwise the rights owner would demand to delete the complete film
An absolute old-school masterpiece by Hinds. Great and enjoyable again and again. Thanks for uploading!
You NEVER leave the woman alone in circumstances like that!
...except in a vampire movie!
All movies have plot flaws if you pay close attention.
How nice to say that
Or any circumstances I say
The actor who played the male servant of the hotel was an excellent actor. So genuinely enthusiastic about the guests with a touch of the innocence that people of the countryside used to have back in those times.
Hammer Horrors was gold!!!! not the nonsense they show up today....
Ah there we go, the obligatory "those were the good old days and everything today is crap" post. There's one in every comment section on these movies.
Victoria Regina absolutely
Victoria Regina tuu
Agreed, Except for "Salem's Lot" which really scared me :-)
Yet its usually TRUE i'm NOT talking about todays Action films i'm talking Horror,Hollywood re-makes movies that is useless to me the Originals shouldn't be tampered with produce NEW films from New scripts. The older English/Italian Horror films along with Hollywoods (Rosemary's Baby,The Mephisto Waltz,Texas Chainsaw & Last House On Left -Independant Films- were good horror from here,they outshine the New stuff,a slasher film is just gore & blood,i want a Horror film that literally frightens the audience.
