A singular vampire film featuring two of the most memorable bloodsuckers in cinematic horror history.
Of course, lesbian vampires are nothing new-Sheridan Le Fanu introduced the world to Carmilla in 1872, well before Dracula-but the subgenre arguably reaches its zenith in this unforgettable 70s classic filled to the brim with graphic gore and sex.
Fran and Miriam pick up men in rural England and take them back to their dilapidated estate in true gothic fashion, where they seduce and eat them in short order. Obvious embodiments of the horror society felt at liberated female sexuality during the era, these two undead lovers are as ferocious as they are insatiable. There is an unbridled fury in both their lust and bloodlust that haunts the screen throughout the entire runtime.
VAMPYRES is low key, subtle and slow burning horror. From the claustrophobic atmosphere to the bloodsoaked finale, it is a classic that must be seen by anyone intrigued by the creatures of the night.

The absolute best killer Santa movie ever made. The combination of gritty NYC realism and Harry's decent into unhinged psychosis are reminiscent of Taxi Driver. Brandon Maggart--Fiona Apple's real life dad--gives a bravura performance full of both camp and deep pathos. You believe he believes he's Santa for every second of the film. And the wtf ending, complete with torch-bearing mob, is the only way this masterpiece could end. Whether it's called Christmas Evil or You Better Watch Out...this is a very special movie.
The last of Frank Henenlotter's NYC trilogy (along with Basket Case and Brain Damage) is essential straight-to-video fare. Patty Mullen is hilarious in the title role. And while it doesn't make any logical sense, there's a sly feminist social commentary if you care to dig it out. Tack on the incredibly absurd and memorable twist ending, and Frankenhooker has all the ingredients of a midnight cult classic. Plus who doesn't love a good Frankenstein spoof?
