The Family Tradition

Geoff and I have a tradition where we stay in for a day, rent a batch of really bad movies, then spend the afternoon trying to break each other up MST3K style. Probably the high point of this was a few years ago during the infamous "Brain Eating Weekend". Somehow (somehow!) every movie we rented had brain eating somewhere in it. Flipped on the TV for cable movies... more brain eating! Sci Fi channel? Brain Eating! Fox News? Brain Eating! New commercial for Pepsi Light? Brain Eating! It was unavaoidable.

We haven't done this in a while and I'm thinking of foracbly kidnapping the boy and bringing him up here for this soon. Or at least springing for a ticket.

I've found a movie for the next one:

The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman

Meanwhile, in a bar with a large rack of postcards, Marcel and his apparent girlfriend Elvira (pronounced “El-vee-ra”) are discussing her Ph.D. project, which is about an evil Hungarian countess. You get nowhere with the review board if you do your project on an evil marquise or baroness. Countess Wandesa was a particularly evil woman, as we can see from the flashback that shows her wearing a very seventies-style updo and holding a black mass featuring a large painting of Satan with a face where his genitalia should be. Apparently she drank the blood of virgins to remain youthful, and later some lovers of hers were annoyed by this and thus stabbed her to death with a silver cross. Then they buried her with it. This will be important later.
...
Cut to that night, when Genevieve hears an eerie voice calling her name and promptly jumps up and runs off into the woods. She meets Wandesa at the coffin, now looking young and lovely and dressed like the love child of Morticia Adams and the Flying Nun. Wandesa nibbles her variously, which judging by Genevieve’s rapturous expression, is lots more fun than boring old sex.
