Daughters of Darkness

speaking of segues Whitney what's your pick

my pick I'm so safe here my pick is Daughters of Darkness I've spoken about this movie before on here and I apologize for speaking about it again but it's my favorite vampire movie it's probably not the best of all the vampire movies but I'm not choosing the best.

I'm choosing my favorite.

As you should.

Oh,

wait, you talked with Crystal Method.

right yeah okay jake i didn't know you've seen daughters of darkness did you just watch it

no i watched a couple years ago

everyone to know about this show.

Elise, where did we watch Daughter of Darkness? Not to be confused with Daughters of Darkness, which I believe was a horror movie from the 70s.

Oh, no, this was 1990.

We watched it on YouTube,

Hi, so happy to be here.

We are going to discuss the amazing 1971 film Daughters of Darkness.

Silly tales about ghouls chased away by garlic and vampires

shrinking from crosses.

If you think these ladies are something, wait until you meet Mother.

She's something else.

these are the daughters of darkness they're waiting for you they thrive on blood

have you had you seen this before taylor

Uh, uh, Anulka Zabinska was Playboy's Miss May 1973 before making this film, and Marianne Morris appeared nude in the October 1976 edition of the British men's magazine Mayfair not long after making this film.

And then the presence of the suspicious old man at the inn at the beginning is an allusion to the suspicious hotel clerk in Daughters of Darkness, another movie featuring lesbian vampires.

Yes,

I think that's John Rolland, if I'm not mistaken.

Right, right, right.

Who Delphine Surig's character in Daughters of Darkness was based on.

Which, despite Ryan Murphy getting to, I would say, like, experimental levels of playing with narrative, I will say there are some artistic flourishes in this Lizzie Borden series that Like the first time you hear the story of that Hungarian queen? I think she was some kind of noblewoman countess.

Anyway, the first

I'm not going to lie.

And by all over the map, I mean I'm starting off with Daughters of Darkness.

Which is sort of like a sexy lesbian exploitation kind of hero horror with just a touch of feminism and, you know, very sexy and a little bit of sadism.

Yeah, I love that.

My turn to roll.

All right.

So if I roll a one, we're going to watch Daughters of Darkness.

If I roll a two, we're going to watch Fright Night.

Cool.

Well, for me, my number farth is Daughters of Darkness 1971, which I recently bought because, again, the disc was disc rot.

And thankfully, there's been multiple editions of this one, so it was actually really cheap to replace.

I finally got the Blu-ray that's been out for a while from Blue Underground, or as I call it, Blunderground.

So we'll save that for later.

What's your number three?

Well, it would be daughters of darkness from 1971.

Yay.

And it's hard to find the original version of it, 'cause they had to pull a bunch of the music cues out of it.

I would say my favorite vampire movie is Daughters of Darkness.

Whoa, going back.

Old school.

I mean you can't, you can't, um, try to dress it up.

You kind of start to... you see a, a s- uh, change towards more like, uh, ripped from the headlines crime, like a serial killer kind of like s- trend of films like Daughters of Darkness series, like, uh, even like, uh, Kai Ming which is another, in fact, film based on like a police, uh, s- report and like abuse and rape then people like being slaughtered.

You have other titles like, uh, Wrath of Silence which is like a mortician, again revenge, serial killer, that kind of film.

There's another one called Red to Kill by Billy Tang which is... that's kind of like has a some sort of reputation that's also like kind of like very, very ugly, very dour, very like awful film but again, once again- deals with revenge and rape and like serial killers.
