You have to love the U.S.A. title to this movie: "The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are In My Neck"
I will say this for the 1960s: it had mostly crap movies but it had some of the best film titles ever (i.e. Dr. Strangelove: or How I learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb." )
Sadly, outside of gaping at the beautiful Sharon Tate, there wasn't much to enjoy after the opening title. Most of the film is downright silly with sophomoric humor. I love a good satire, but this isn't one. A satire on vampire films sounds good, but the writers were inept on this screenplay. You can't bore people to death in the beginning and then hope they stay with you. Too much time goes by before any action occurs in this film.
Even more sad, of course, is what happened to Tate not long after this movie was released, butchered by the Manson gang. Out of respect for her, I won't continue on describing how disappointed you will be if you think you're in for entertainment by watching this overrated B-movie schlock
