The most unbelievable part of this movie: That Countess Zaleska (that’s Dracula’s daughter to you) would have any interest in the drip doctor. She had way more chemistry with the random woman her manservant picked out for her to drain. I guess that’s why a ton of sites reference this as “the lesbian vampire movie.”

Oh, how this fake poster made the middle school teacher that I am giggle!

If she’s a vampire, wouldn’t holding the cross burn?

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

Easily the best vampire western set in modern day Iran but filmed near Bakersfield I have seen this year. And who could not love a vampire on a skateboard?

I was annoyed that I’d already done a Home Alone parody – it’s right there in the title! Instead, I went with another “walk” movie. This is less of a copy and more like a strongly influenced design. It also looks like it could have been a real poster for the movie, which is sort of against the idea of these fake posters. I do like it, though.

The Hunger

Look, I know she’s been entranced, but the whole seduction scene in this is hilarious. “Oh no- I have spilled my sherry on my thin white shirt that I am wearing without a bra. I’m trying to clean it by slowing rubbing a wet cloth on my breast, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Would you help me remove it, mysterious woman?”

…and now I present: THE WORST FAKE POSTER OF THE SET. It’s not a bad idea, but I should have looked for a better source image. However, I already made two other posters and I am done with Photoshop for the day.

Also: I realized that I’ve seen five “Lady Vampire” movies in the last ten months. I guess I should expect another one by August.
