vampirism is not a disease, julia… vampires are the living dead. .° ₊My first 70s soap opera, a bloodied, haunting picture of dread and suspense. The camera was a bit too shaky in certain moments for my taste, but the drama was ALIVE (unlike the vampires), and those last fifteen minutes were peak. Though I think my favorite thing in this entire movie would have to be Caroline’s dress, it is to DIE for (literally). That, and the creepy heebie jeebies that came with that old guy, genuinely got the shivers looking at him. Good plot and kind of silly fights, fun for Halloween nights!
