Roman Polanski’s The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) starring Sharon Tate is currently available on Blu-ray From Warner Archives
It’s the living end, a fancy-dress ball for blood fiends in Count Von Krolock’s Transylvanian castle. Surely no mortal would be foolish enough to infiltrate this hemogobbling horror of a soiree. But partygoers notice something in the ballroom mirrors: the reflections of humans – vampire killers – dancing among them. Director/cowriter Roman Polanski spoofs vampire movies with this droll balancing act of shocks and laughs.

It’s all fang-tastic fun!
This sly and stylish Sixties send-up of Hammer-style horror turns genre conventions on their side while shooting straight for the jugular. Expelled from the...
