1951 Down Place

After last month’s discussion of Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter (insert the Captain Kronos opening theme stinger here!), the Down Placers continue their look at 1970s Hammer Vampire films by taking a good hard look at Ingrid Pitt in the first installment of the Karnstein Trilogy, The Vampire Lovers (dir. Roy Ward Baker). This film is one of Casey’s Top Five Hammer films. Derek has seen bits and pieces of the film over the years. Scott is watching it for the first time. They may have differing opinions about the film, but they all agree on one thing – Peter Cushing is amazing.

The Down Placers are seeing double when they spend some time with Hammer’s Twins of Evil (dir. John Hough). While discussing the film, Casey, Derek and Scott fall under the spell of Dennis Price, marvel at the Collinson twins and have conflicting emotions about both simultaneously enjoying and being terrified by Peter Cushing. And if you listen real close, you might hear someone change their Top Five list.

No one would blame you if you thought this podcast and these podcasters somehow got . . . um . . . lost on a lost continent, but the truth is much more mundane. You’ll hear about that, and the film The Lost Continent (dir. Michael Carreras, Leslie Norman), in this episode. It’s the triumphant return of 1951 Down Place, and two-thirds of the Down Placers!

Derek has no idea if Scott’s really all that comfortable with being called a “legend” so often, but quite frankly, he doesn’t care. Scott’s a podcast legend as far as Derek’s concerned!
