'Lust For a Vampire' (1971) -  Jimmy Sangster.

While I'm occasionally craven some moody-magnificent, Mike Raven, I'm avidly lustful for just the bloodiest cupful, the wickedest handful of drop-dead gorgeous, Satanically-spawned succubus, Mircalla Karnstein (Yutte Stensgaarde). The extraordinary vision of that voluptuously vulpine vampire gorily awakening in her blood-soaked décolletage proved intoxicating! When horror novelist, and erstwhile literary tutor, Richard Lestrange (Michael Johnson) is first introduced to the beautiful student, Mircalla, it's love at first bite, his dark fate sealed by the immaculately reincarnated vampire's kiss. Dangerously smitten, Carmilla Karnstein's mesmeric beauty transfixes him absolutely like a tempered stake through a bloodsucker's blackened heart! 

The splendidly saucy, luridly erotic shocker 'Lust For a Vampire' remains one of the more exhilaratingly lustful Le Fanu inspired bodice rippers from the visceral Karnstein trilogy! Jimmy Sangster's conspicuously permissive vampire potboiler excitingly features Gothic Horror's most glamorous, gorgeously gore garlanded vamps. Yutte Stensgaarde is devilishly enticing as the sinfully curvaceous, provocatively plasma slathered, Mircalla Karnstein! Not the most subtle Hammer offering, generously steeped in Kensington Gore, the once implied eroticism replaced with libido galvanizing pulchritude. Unfairly maligned, Tudor Gates's lucid, smartly written text frequently shines through Lust For A Vampire's more steamily salacious contents.      

 

 

'Lookin' back, I can see two mighty fine reasons why Hammer Horror was so appealing, dude!'

'Ah! yes! Much better, you were a little stingy with your portions the last time!'

'It's not your neck he's after!'
