Halloween Bites! The Vampire Bat
“Don’t let the vampires get you.” Skillfully blending horror, science fiction, and a dash of comedy, 1933’s The Vampire Bat punches well above its weight class. The film, released by Majestic Pictures, is a fine example of a poverty row film company utilizing everything in its arsenal to make a film that was just asContinue reading “Halloween Bites! The Vampire Bat”
Halloween Bites! Vampire In Venice
“My prince…..” I’ve watched a LOT of vampire films over the years. Most of them are decent and watchable, but a few are just bad, really bad. Vampire In Venice is one of the worst. Not only is the 1988 film a convoluted mess on the screen, it was a complete disaster behind the cameraContinue reading “Halloween Bites! Vampire In Venice”
Halloween Bites! Son Of Dracula
“Alucard is undoubtedly a vampire.” Although it features a powerful cast including Lon Chaney, Jr., Louise Allbritton, Evelyn Ankers, and Robert Paige, and has one of the most twist-filled plots of any Universal Horror film, 1943’s Son Of Dracula falls a little flat. In the film, Chaney’s Alucard (Dracula spelled backwards) arrives in New Orleans,Continue reading “Halloween Bites! Son Of Dracula”
Halloween Bites! Interview With The Vampire

Halloween Bites! Blood Vessel
“Strigoi!” Vampires have been on plenty of ships over the years. Heck, the granddaddy of ’em all, Dracula, even featured the ill-fated Demeter, which was eventually given its own film in 2023.
