Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Crypt of the Vampire (1964)

Feels like I already covered this with the Carmilla and lesbian vampire posts, but I do what I want, so.

(Laura and Carmilla during the extremely atmospheric climax of the movie)

Crypt of the Vampire, also known as Terror In The Crypt (the meaning of the original title) is a 1964 Italian-Spanish gothic horror film in the lesbian vampire subgenre. It is a rather faithful adaptation of the classic novel Carmilla, with the major difference being the addition of witchcraft. It is very atmospheric, with lots of blowing curtains and dream sequences that blur the edges of reality. It was filmed in an actual castle, and stars among others Christopher Lee, because of course it does.

Of the ones that I saw, this is my favorite Carmilla adaptation.

You can find the rest here, in my lesbian vampire masterlist. I have made Queer Media Monday posts about both Carmilla and the lesbian vampire subgenre before. 

The movie is completely available on YouTube.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

Update on showing my TV watching cat old horror movies: Nosferatu 1922, Dracula 1974, The Crypt of the Vampire, and The Curious Case of Jekyll and Hide

The colorized version of the 1922 Nosferatu is still her favorite, I think because of its unique musical score. We are at the point where if I say the word Nosferatu, even very quietly, she runs to me chirping and plants herself in front of the TV for vampire time. Her favorite Dracula is the 1974 Dan Curtis version, I think because of the bold colors and geometric outfits. I disagree with her judgement and prefer Gary Oldman, but both of us have yet to see a classic Lugosi performance, and given her penchant for black and white films, her opinion may change. We watched Crypt of the Vampire today, and she was very engaged when the lesbians were onscreen, but would lose interest when the men were talking about paintings and return to shredding my mesh laundry basket until the pretty ladies came back. Over all we both enjoyed the movies immensely. I left her briefly while I went out to run an errand, and when I came back The Curious Case of Jekyll and Hide had begun playing. She seemed decently engaged, and I enjoyed the creative lighting and cinematography, even if the practical effects were lacking, even for the time. They really made good use of color, it looked like it may have been chromakey but I honestly have no idea what version was playing. Talisman The Horror Cat says good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the vampires bite!!

A stellar review of Crypt of the Vampire (1964)

[flammentanz]

“Ein Toter hing am Glockenseil” (1964) von Camillo Mastrocinque

Laura Karnstein (Adriana Ambesi) wird von entsetzlichen Alpträumen gequält, in denen sie den sich tatsächlich ereignenden, gewaltsamen Tod einiger ihrer Familienmitglieder voraussieht. Zutiefst besorgt bittet ihr Vater Graf Ludwig Karnstein (Christopher Lee) den Gelehrten Friedrich Klauss (José Campos) in den historischen Dokumenten des Schlosses etwas über eine gewisse Sheena Karnstein in Erfahrung zu bringen, die vor zweihundert Jahren als Hexe verbrannt wurde und vor ihrem Tod einen Fluch über die Familie Karnstein aussprach. Der Graf fürchtet, dass seine Tochter vom Geist der bösen Vorfahrin besessen ist. Lauras Gemüt hellt sich spürbar auf, nachdem eine vermeintlich kränkelnde Reisende namens Ljuba (Ursula Davis) nach einem Unfall im Schloss aufgenommen wird. Während sich zwischen den beiden jungen Frauen ein enges Verhältnis entwickelt, finden sowohl die der Schwarzen Magie frönende Bedienstete Rowena (Nela Conjiú) als auch die mit dem Grafen eine Affäre unterhaltenden Kammerzofe Anette (Vera Valmont) ein gewaltsames Ende. Überdies wird ein entstellter Vagabund (Angel Midlin), der sich in mysteriösen Andeutungen über den auf dem Geschlecht der Karnsteins lastenden Fluch erging, am Glockenseil der verfallenen Dorfkirche erhängt aufgefunden … Camillo Mastrocinque verarbeitet in seinem zwar nicht übermäßiger Logik frönendem, dafür jedoch umso stimmungsvollerem Film, der alle klassischen Ingredienzen eines Gothic Horrorfilms beinhaltet, Motive der Novelle “Carmilla” von Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. “Ein Toter hing am Glockenseil”, der leider dem charismatischen Christopher Lee eine eher undankbare Rolle zuweist, reicht zwar nicht an Mastrocinques faszinierenden “Ein Engel für den Teufel” (1966) - zu dem dieser Film durchaus einige Parlellen aufweist - heran, ist dennoch ein überaus lohnender Streifen für Freunde klassischer Gruselfilme.
