Directed by Piero Regnoli
Italy 1960
A troupe of five showgirls, along with their manager, are traveling through a
remote stretch of countryside when their minibus gets stuck after a rainstorm.
Finding refuge at the castle home of the mysterious Count Gabor Kernassy, the
women make the best of the situation by continuing to practice their burlesque
routines. But little do they know that the strange Count is harboring a fiendish
secret and is intent on subjecting the lovely ladies to his vampiric desires… *** Five beautiful showgirls are trapped by a storm and find refuge in a creepy old castle. The owner of the castle, a strange nobleman, has a secret laboratory in the basement and has his own plans for the girls. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Vinegar Syndrome offer DTS-HD Master dual-mono tracks (24-bit) in either
the original Italian or a, sometimes awkward, English language DUB (a
few early lines not DUB'ed but the subtitles come on.) The Playgirls and the Vampire
has aggressive screams with surprising depth but limited audio effects.
The score was
by Aldo Piga (The
Vampire and the Ballerina,
Terror-Creatures From the Grave,
The Monster of the Opera, Curse of the Blood Ghouls). It sounds
reasonably clean via the
lossless transfer adding to the atmosphere. Vinegar Syndrome offer optional English
(SDH) and English (translated) subtitles on
their Region FREE
Blu-ray.
The Vinegar Syndrome
Blu-ray
Piero Regnoli's The Playgirls and the
Vampire
is early in the vein of
Euro-cult horror exploitation / titillation.
It is very similar to The
Vampire and the Ballerina released six months earlier. Both have
sexy Marisa Quattrini and comic relief of Walter Brandi - "one of the
first de facto stars of Italian horror/exploitation" - and both films
have a similar score by Aldo Piga and a plot involving beautiful dancers
and their two male friends stranded in an ominous Gothic castle with
male + female blood-draining undead. I also see similarities to 1961's
Horrors of Spider Island, and the German-made
Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory |
