   S5E13 Vampire Sex Party w/ Blood for Dracula (1974) & Vampire Circus (72)

   Halloween is almost upon us so we are talking vampire sex flicks of the 70s with author Anthony Lee Head. Tony's new novel, QUINCEY MORRIS AND THE HUNT FOR DRACULA retells Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale from the POV of the Bowie-knife-wielding Texan who joins Van Helping's hunt for the Transylvanian bloodsucker. So to get you ready for Halloween and celebrate Tony's book, we are pairing pot with with Udo Kier in BLOOD FOR DRACULA aka ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA from 1974, and the hallucinatory weirdness of Hammer's VAMPIRE CIRCUS (1972) featuring David Prowse and Adrienne Corri, both from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, but everyone knows Prowse as Darth Vader. Blood will be drunk and breasts are bared in these 70s flicks that showed vampires as sexy as you always knew they were. Bob and Tony also talk a little bit about THE SEARCHERS (1956), which is probably long overdue on this podcast, and they do get into some martial arts talk since Tony is Bob's former jiujitsu sensei. Greg, Cory and Philena are all on assignment, so it's just Bob and Tony talking cowboys and vampires. Tony's book, BLOODBOUND: QUINCEY MORRIS AND THE HUNT FOR DRACULA is available from Crystal Lake Publishing and you can buy it through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX372R4B?tag=crystallakepu-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=true Be back here in NOIRVEMBER for some DARK CITY DIVAS!

   S5E12 The Devils: A New Legacy

   Ken Russell's masterpiece of blasphemy THE DEVILS is coming to a multiplex near you on October 15th! Since Warner Bros. in their death throes is re-releasing THE DEVILS with newly added sacrilege, we are re-releasing our segment on THE DEVILS from 2024 with new material. Unlike Warner Clockwork however, we didn't restore anything. Cory's audio is still, well, subpar. (Damned direct boxes!) Cory, Bob and Greg sit down to discuss the shocking reissue and spend a good chunk of the new intro talking about SPACE JAM 2--I mean, SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY, and if LeBron James had a role in slamming THE DEVILS into wide-release. We also rate THE DEVILS and LOS LEPROSOS Y EL SEXO (1970) with https://popcornhighs.com, the movie website for stoners. It's like letterboxd built with Leafly DNA. Check it out. Co-hosts: Bob Calhoun, Greg Franklin & Cory Sklar Philena Franklin went back to college Join us in 2 weeks when Bob sits down with Anthony Lee Head, author of BLOODBOUND: QUINCEY MORRIS AND THE HUNT FOR DRACULA to talk VAMPIRE SEX FIENDS OF THE 1970s with BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) and VAMPIRE CIRCUS (1972). Subscribe so you don't miss it.

   S5E11 Santo Y Curry w/ Lepers & Sex (``1970), Pteryphlegia (1986), & Times Square (1980)

   The San Francisco Film Preserve is bringing the Re:Vision Film Festival to the Roxie Theater in San Francisco from September 24-27, so we've got a preview of their most bizarre double bill + we're paying tribute to the great Tim Curry with his most punk movie ever. First, Re:Vision is bringing a restored print of an El Santo sex film to the Roxie with LOS LEPROSOS Y EL SEXO aka LEPERS AND SEX an extreme oddity from 1970 where Calderon Studios took a lucha libre western and added softcore sex scenes to it for International audiences. It's hard to believe that the movie isn't just an urban legend, but an original negative was discovered in the mid-2010s and restored to all its sleazy glory by Cinema Preservation Alliance and Permanencia Voluntaria in 2022. Known without the sex scenes as SANTO VS. THE RIDERS OF TERROR, this version has escaped lepers terrorizing a small town and breaking in on any couples who are getting it on, and only the masked wrestling legend EL SANTO can restore justice and order! Directed by Mexican exploitation maestro René Cardona, who also baffled audiences with SANTA CLAUS (1959), which we featured in last year's Christmas episode. LOS LEPROSOS Y EL SEXO screens at the Roxie on Saturday, Sept. 29th at 9 p.m. with Pteryphlegia (1986), a sci-fi short from the Netherlands featuring the prog rock sounds of YES, and lucky for you, we have YES obsessive and Greg's cousin Darren Norris to parse all the needle drops. Find out how to buy tickets at the Roxie's website here: https://roxie.com/film/revision-lepers-sex-aka-santo-vs-the-riders-of-terror/ And find out more about the SF Film Preserve and Re:Vision here: https://filmpreserve.org/revision/ And then, the great Tim Curry left us on August 25th, so we're paying tribute to him with TIMES SQUARE, a punk rock drama with a mostly banger soundtrack set in the sleaze of pre-Disneyfied New York in 1980. Robin Johnson and Trini Alvarado are troubled teens who escape from a mental hospital and start a new wave rebellion and Curry is the sleazy DJ who seeks to exploit them. Directed by Allan Moyle (EMPIRE RECORDS) and featuring the music of The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Pretenders, Gary Neuman, The Cars, and Robin Gibb (!). Yes, Robin Gibb. Good thing Cory and Darren can music geek out and make sense of all this. TIMES SQUARE is part of the Criterion Channel's awesome Girl Bands! collection. Hosts: Cory Sklar, Bob Calhoun, and Darren Norris Greg Franklin was at a screening of his award-winning animated short THE WHISTLE and Philena went back to college! We'll get her back after finals.
