A Brief Synopsis: Four English travellers arrive at a tiny hamlet in the Carpathian Mountains and ignore warnings from the locals not to travel to Carlsbad, the domain of Count Dracula. A dark, driverless carriage arrives to take them to the sinister castle, but they discover too late that they have been lured there to provide the blood which will allow Dracula to rise from the grave once more.
Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:
- Karen references the Michael Keaton film “Beetlejuice”.
- Greg mentions the Black+Decker Dustbuster several times.
- Karen teaches us all about Hammer blood, also known as “Kensington Gore”.
- We learn the definition of the word: exsanguinate.
Our rating of the film:
This movie was OK. It took us 3 cocktails to get through it.
