On the 27th November 2011, auter Ken Russell passed away. Like Jean Rollin before him, his passing hit me more than I would have thought and it is down to the fact that we will never again see a new Ken Russell film.
He was behind the segment, the Girl with Golden Breasts in the film
Trapped Ashes and, of course,
Gothic. Of his non-vampire films I particularly enjoyed Crimes of Passion and Salome’s Last Dance. My favourite Ken film was, however,
Lair of the White Worm. In tribute, I offer you a pictorial stroll through Lair of the White Worm…
