Since the one you list are in the right era, I have a question. When I was a kid I remember a Dracula film that has some really good looking vampire ladies in it. I remember it as being really creepy and gothic. Do you think it might one of the ones you listed?

reply

I think these are the movies. Christopher Lee played Dracula. The movies were campy but entertaining. All the females were attractive and big breasted. One of the actresses was Barbara Shelley who was England's Queen of Scream.

If the 79 Nosferatu is the one with Kinski, then I haven’t seen it. What do you think of it?

reply

It is the one with Kinski. I thought it was excellent. Fantastic performance and a really well crafted film.

reply

Great. I will try to watch it soon and report back.
