Spin off from Vampyres (1974)

A decent supplement to 1974s' "Vampyres".

The two stars of the 1974 erotic vampire film "Vampyres", Marianne Morris and Anulka, sit down and share their memories of working on the film in this brief (under 14 minutes) featurette on the DVD. The strongest attraction for me was seeing the two lovely ladies in more recent years, and they look as if they've hardly aged at all. They are both still very attractive, especially Anulka. Best of all, they seem quite warm and personable and eager to chat about the film.

Both share some amusing anecdotes. The blood was given a peppermint taste to make it palatable, for one thing(!). Some kind words are saved for the producer (Brian Smedley-Aston) and director (Jose Ramon Larraz) of the film, who were as different as night and day but proved to work well together as a team. It's also interesting to hear that Anulka was more comfortable with the nudity and Morris was actually more comfortable with the scenes of violence!

This is overall a pleasant and entertaining enough if naturally not overwhelmingly informative featurette although it was worth it just to see the stars as they were a few years back.
