Linda Hayden: An Angel for Satan is a short 10ish minute documentary on the Anchor Bay UK DVD of Blood On Satan's Claw (1970). Hayden basically goes through her horror film career from her first role in Baby Love (1968) to Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970) then came Blood On Satan's Claw after which Vampira (1974) & Madhouse (1974) before finally ending on Expose (1976) which she seems to hate & regrets taking part in. Unfortunately Hayden mentions each film so briefly that virtually no useful or interesting information is learned. She spends most of the time talking about her co-stars like Christopher Lee, David Niven & Vincent Price which is all well & good but a simple 'he was a nice man' type comment is a complete waste of time & the opportunity to say something more informative & interesting. But the biggest disappointment for me has to be the fact that this documentary is on the Blood On Satan's Claw DVD & I was expecting & hoping that the interview would be about that film in particular which happens to be one of my favourite horror films & it simply isn't. Hayden talks about it for all of about 3 minutes & doesn't say anything overly exciting. As a free extra on a DVD it's certainly worth a watch but I just couldn't help but feel disappointed at how shallow & forgettable Hayden's comments are. I love Blood On Satan's Claw, it's one of my very favourite horror films & I suppose I was just annoyed that she barely talked about it. There are a few clips from Blood On Satan's Claw but not from any of the other films mentioned, probably a rights issue. Could have been better, much better.

Good Interview with the Actress

Linda Hayden: An Angel for Satan (2004)
*** (out of 4)
Nice interview with Euro star Linda Hayden takes a look at the horror movies she made in her career. She starts off talking about her breakthrough in BABY LOVE and then we get to titles such as TASTE THE BLOOD OF Dracula, MADHOUSE, OLD Dracula and EXPOSE, the one film she says she regrets making. The majority of the 12-minute running time is devoted to THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW, which the actress says she's very proud of. She talks about various stages of the production from how she was hired, to working with the director, cast and an accident she had while making the movie, which caused her to be rushed to the hospital. Overall, if you're a fan of Hayden then you should enjoy this interview as she comes off quite charming and it's nice to see her talking honestly about her career. She jokes that she's known for films that people watch at three in the morning and she's very proud of it and doesn't try to pretend that she wasn't in these movies.
