Yes I did m...ollie, its great that you enjoy them.<br /><br />Yes I did miss out on the Tate-labianca murders. Whilst clearly I am aware of Manson and the crimes surrounding him, I was born after the fact and I don't think they are as ingrained in the public psyche in the UK. Now you mention it I can see why it would have had an impact, especially at the time of release and Stateside.<br /><br />I see your point re the witch - I just felt she was under-used.<br /><br />Yorga is much more a vampire, however, than any Twi-hard wannabe vampire! ;)Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-59357608693231278362009-09-04T07:16:34.185-07:002009-09-04T07:16:34.185-07:00I personally enjoyed the Count Yorga films immense...I personally enjoyed the Count Yorga films immensely, I got my copy just a few days before Robert Quarry's passing away, a sad irony.<br /><br />Firstly, a point you seemed to have missed in your review; another reason the attack of Yorga's brides on the Nelson home is so talked about is it's also (deliberately) reminiscent of the Tate-LaBianca murders.<br /><br />Also I thought the 'Witch'-character was a wonderful touch; referencing the traditional Un-Dead sorceress (e.g. the Romanian Strigoica) of folklore.<br /><br />And, a good three decades before the 'Twilight' craze/farce we have Yorga watching Cynthia while she sleeps ;-)OllieMugwumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121652679353522702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-1155679036264855812006-08-15T14:57:00.000-07:002006-08-15T14:57:00.000-07:00True, the characte of Jennifer has potential as do...True, the characte of Jennifer has potential as does Tommy.
