A ★½ review of Blood for Dracula (1974)
I did not like this film at all. I think it does a terrible disservice to the Dracula lore. And that is a shame because I liked Flesh for Frankenstein, also directed by Paul Morrissey and produced by ...

Director Carter Smith on designing the vine: "It's in practically every single shot in the film after the characters reach the hill, so it has to look like something that could really be growing there. But it also has to look menacing once you realize what it is capable of..." #TheRuins #FrightClub

Take a day trip with #FrightClub Sunday to look at The Ruins (2008) at 10 PM ET. Available on Tubi, Kanopy. The more the merrier, so pile on in! It's not like an ancient evil will be driving or anything. Er, probably.
Jonathan Tucker, Shawn Ashmore, Jena Malone, Laura Ramsey, Joe Anderson, and Dimitri Baveas in The Ruins (2008). This is not one of the posters for the movie, but a backdrop shot showing the titular ruins, which have a lot of green overgrowth. (You can find ruins in the Mexican jungle, but not these. They were made up for the movie. Dammit.) It's basically a large hill of adobe steps.

Up to this point I had only seen scenes of The Blood on Satan's Claw. This film becomes so unsettling and violent. However, my favorite thing in a long list of positives is the score. Movie 071/100 #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days #Filmsky #Horrorsky #MutanTFam

Carry On Screaming is an absurdly good time. Most of the jokes don't land, but it is still fun. Filled with parody. Sexual innuendo. Hijinks. Puns. It's ridiculous, but I still liked it. Movie 066/100 #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days #Filmsky #MutantFam
