Crazy Credits
Fangs by Dr. Ludwig von Krankheit. See more »Alternate Versions
The German version of this film has a different but similar version of the opening MGM lion turning into a green vampire (looking somewhat cruder). The credits are in German, directly translated from the English credits (with the same handmade lettering style and animated effects). See more »Contribute to This Page

This gem of a film is, at least to me, the most beautiful movie ever made. I highly recommend it to everyone who loves to be spellbound by fairy-tales and fairy-tale-like horror-films, by pictures of snow-heralded baroque-clad characters that remind us of our childhood experiences and childhood fears. If only at least 10% of all movies could be like that!
