The Halloween Vampire List - Bonus
Film Detour
And if you just can't get enough of Vampires for this Halloween, here's our picks of some other Vampire flix. Dig in!
info_outlineHere's an idea. Take James Bond (Sean Connery fresh out of his 007 tux), strip him down to almost naked, give him really long hair tied up in a braid, a sorta Village People handlebar mustache, red bandoliers crisscrossing his bare, hairy chest, a red jockstrap kinda thing to cover his privates, thigh high leather (Jane Fonda as Barbarella type) boots and have him running around like that for an entire movie. Preposterous you say?
It might be if it wasn't written & directed by master filmmaker John Boorman and co-starring the beautiful and very intense Charlotte Rampling . Take a leap of faith. Join us for the amazingly trippy, upside down world of ZARDOZ.
