I Watch Movies: Vampire Circus

Vampire Circus

Fifteen years ago the villagers killed the count, who had seduced someone’s wife into vampirism. Now the village is cut off, blockaded by neighbours with rifles, because they have the plague. Despite this a circus comes to town.

Everyone’s keen to go to the circus despite the plague, or maybe because of it, after all they’re effectively locked down in the village. Also the circus is quite horny, and several members shape shift during their acrobatics.

Obviously (from the title of the film) things start to go wrong. The film plays out approximately as you might expect. A young Dave Prowse is the silent circus strongman.
