18. OLD MOTHER RILEY MEETS THE VAMPIRE

1 Recommendations

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we deep-dive into the 1952 movie, Old Mother Riley Meets the Vampire. It's campy and vampy and probably not Bela Lugosi's finest hour (and thirteen minutes).
