Blood of Dracula

THE BAD FILM SOCIETY GETS IN TOUCH WITH ITS FEMININE (VAMPIRE) SIDE

The Bad Film Society goes back to the gory, glory days of fifties drive-in movies.

From1957, Blood of Dracula was the female counterpart to I Was A Teenage Werewolf. Miss Branding, a fiendish boarding school professor, transforms the unhappy new girl (in the required 50’s tight sweater) into a raging vampire with ludicrously long pointy teeth and enormous jet-propelled eyebrows. Hot Stuff!

The professor’s warped hopes are to prove that the human mind contains a power far more destructive than any product of human science. She wants to convince the scientific world that her work is a more promising foundation for weapons research than nuclear physics, so that she can get herself put in charge of some sort of psychic Manhattan Project.

When the leaders of the world fully grasp the destructive force that she has put at their disposal, they will realize that war has become a prospect too horrible to contemplate, and thus Branding’s work will paradoxically become the key to world peace! In the meantime, the teens on campus are rocking out and getting their blood sucked dry!

Plus Film Archivist Steven Mayerson will screen appropriately inappropriate short subjects before the feature.

Also stay tuned the third chapter of the serial, Tiger Woman from 1944. Evil oil speculators in South America attempt to drive away an exotic native tribe and their hot queen, the Tiger Woman…but she’s a white woman and might be the lost heiress to a vast fortune! Actually The Tiger Woman wore a leopard-spotted outfit because the studio couldn't find any tiger patterned fabric! It’s a howler!

Members should bring some great food for a scrumptious potluck dinner before the feature. Some bottom feeders just come for the great food! It sure beats dumpster diving!
