The Monster Club (1980)



English

A fictionalised version of author R. Chetwynd-Hayes (Carradine) is approached on a city street by a strange man (Price) who turns out to be a starving vampire named Eramus. Eramus bites the writer, and in gratitude for the small "donation", takes his (basically unharmed but bewildered) victim to the titular club, which is a covert gathering place for a multitude of supernatural creatures. In between the club's unique music and dance performances, Eramus introduces three stories about his fellow creatures of the night.

Français

Un auteur britannique de romans d'horreur est approché par un vampire nommé Eramus, qui lui boit un peu de son sang. Pour le remercier de cette petite « donation », il l'invite à son « Club des monstres » où les vampires, loups-garous, et autres créatures surnaturelles du tout Londres viennent se divertir. Eramus, qui voue une admiration à l'auteur, lui raconte trois histoires de créatures de la nuit qui pourraient l'inspirer dans ses prochains écrits, tout en regardant les spectacles divers montrés par le Club. Dans la première histoire, une créature hybride, nommée le Shadmock, tue ses victimes en sifflant. Dans la seconde, une paisible famille de vampires est attaquée par des chasseurs qui sont à la recherche du père depuis des années. Dans la troisième, un réalisateur de films d'horreur, parti à la recherche d'un village devant servir de décor pour son prochain film, tombe sur un patelin habité par des goules mangeuses de chair humaine. À la fin du film, Eramus demande aux autres membres du Club que l'auteur devienne le premier humain membre honoraire de leur association, ce qui est vite accepté.

Italiano

Lo scrittore di romanzi horror Chetwynd-Hayes (Carradine) incontra il vampiro Eramus (Price): questi, dopo avergli succhiato il sangue, per sdebitarsi lo invita al suo esclusivo The Monster Club, i cui soci sono mostri del cinema. Durante la spiegazione dell'albero genealogico dei mostri, Eramus introduce lo scrittore nel suo mondo di orrore raccontandogli tre storie:
Episodio 1 Un distinto e triste signore inglese di nome Raven (Laurenson) cela un tremendo segreto: egli è uno Shadmock, un essere in grado di incenerire chiunque lo inganni o gli procuri infelicità con le vibrazioni del suo fischio. Per questo è definito Fischiamorte. Lo Shadmock assume una ragazza come segretaria (Barbara Kellermann), ma costei, con la collaborazione del fidanzato (Simon Ward) cerca di derubarlo. La punizione sarà più tremenda della morte: Raven le carbonizzerà il volto.
Episodio 2 Un bonario vampiro è fatto oggetto di caccia da parte di una squadra antivampiro capitaneggiata da un sanguinario poliziotto (Pleasence). Ma sarà proprio quest’ultimo, vampirizzato, a finire ucciso dai suoi stessi agenti.
Episodio 3 Sam (Whitman), regista horror,è alla ricerca di un villaggio in cui poter ambientare un proprio film horror: sfortunatamente, la sua ricerca lo porta in uno sperduto villaggio della campagna inglese popolato dai discendenti di un gruppo di Ghouls (mangiatori di morti) installatisi lì secoli prima. Appena arrivato, dopo un breve dialogo con un sinistro locandiere, cerca di andare via ma la sua Porsche 911 SC Targa è sabotata, non va in moto e si ritrova intrappolato. Miracolosamente sfuggito grazie all'aiuto di Luna, una ghouls che vuole andarse dal villaggio ma che verrà uccisa nella fuga, avrà la sfortuna di trovare un passaggio proprio da due Ghouls travestiti da poliziotti che lo riportano al villaggio in attesa che arrivino i "capi" ( probabilmente altri Ghouls che nel mondo degli uomini hanno assunto elevati ranghi di potere).
Finiti i tre racconti i mostri si lamentano che tra loro ci sia un umano ma il vampiro elenca le qualità dell'uomo : avido, malvagio, egoista, subdolo, assassino a livello globale e inventore di strumenti di morte e tortura.
In un'ovazione generale dei presenti "l'essere umano" viene autorizzato a rimanere nel club ed eletto mostro supremo.

Doctor Dracula (1978)



English

John Wainwright, Ph.D. [Larry Hankin] has written a book on reincarnation [The Second Coming of Svengali] which is fitting, as Wainwright claims to be the reincarnation of the famous hypnotist. Wainwright has been invited by Hadley Radcliff [John Carradine], leader of the Society of the Occult, to give a demonstration of his hypnotic powers (and sell a few books). In attendance is Radcliff's friend, Steven Elliot, [Donald Barry] and Elliot's daughter Stephanie [Susan McIver], who is pining the recent death of her mother, Valerie. Valerie died under mysterious circumstances, her blood drained and with two puncture wounds on her throat. Stephanie is attempting to get Wainwright to help her contact her dead mother, but Wainwright does not wish to be bothered. Later that evening, however, Stephanie pays a visit to Wainwright at his home. Caught off-guard, Wainwright/Svengali finally agrees to help Stephanie. He hypnotizes her and promises her that she will be the instrument of revenge upon the one who killed her mother. Stephanie goes home and begins to perform satanic rituals and speak as though she is possessed. Worried about his daughter's mental state, Elliot calls in psychiatrist Anatole Gregorio (Dracula) [Geoffrey Land] who promises that he can be of more help to Stephanie than that charlatan Wainwright...

Billy the Kid vs Dracula (1966)



English

The film centers on Dracula's plot to convert Billy the Kid's fiancee, Betty Bentley, into his vampire wife. Dracula impersonates Bentley's uncle and schemes to make her his vampiric bride.
Fortunately for Betty, a German immigrant couple come to work for her and warn Bentley that her "uncle" is a vampire. While Bentley does not believe them, their concerns confirm Billy's suspicions that something is not quite right with Betty's uncle.
Eventually, the Count kidnaps Betty and takes her to an abandoned silver mine. Billy confronts the Count but soon finds that bullets are no match for a vampire. The Count subdues the notorious outlaw and sets out to transform Betty into his vampire mate. Just then, the town sheriff and a country doctor arrive. The doctor hands Billy a scalpel telling him he must drive it through the vampire's heart. Billy throws his gun at the vampire and knocks him senseless, making him easy pickings for a staking. With the count destroyed, Betty is saved and Billy takes her away, presumably to live happily ever after.
