In continuance of my exploration of glamorous Satanism in cinema I give you, I Drink Your Blood (1970). This time, it comes in the form of evil hippies who give their souls to Satan (in the opening scene, no less!)
Said hippies are living in the abandoned hotel of a rural community when they abuse a teenage local girl. The girl's grandfather, upset, goes to give them a what for only to have his glasses stepped on and to be force fed LSD. Amazing.
Then, the victim's little brother decided to poison the hippies with rabies. He has a syringe full of rabid dog blood just laying around, naturally, and injects it into meat pies he convinces the hippie satanists to buy. As you can imagine, rabid zombie Satanists follow.
Here is the trailer:
I Drink Your Blood is gorgeous. I don't know why Broadway hasn't given it the musical treatment yet. I really don't.
That dude with the machete looks like a rabid DeNiro. I need to see this!

well, if bway hasn't made a musical of it yet, than clearly fate is begging for a conkel-soursourian musical adaptation collaboration, no?
