Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Ends The Year With One Of My Favorites And Yours--AIP's 1957 "Blood Of Dracula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                            For those who don't know, and especially those who do, this is the one about recalcitrant teenager Nancy Perkins, played by Sandra Harrison, who, while not unattractive, somehow manages to look more glamorous int the monster makeup.

                                               Easily this is a feminine re-do of "I Was A Teenage Werewolf," made that same year, with Michael Landon.  "Blood Of Dracula's original title was supposed to be "I Was A Teenage Vampire," and I think it should have been kept that.

                                                   But, anyway, Nancy's mother has died, and her father, Paul Perkins (played by Thomas Browne Henry) has, after only six weeks, married this tramp named Dors (played by Jean Dean) who is one step above a hatcheck girl.  They want to get rid of Nancy, so Doris can get all the vacations, jewels, and sex she can out of this guy, so they ensconce Nancy in Mrs. Thorndyke's (Wink! Wink!) School For Girls.  Hons, I am telling you this is a burgeoning repressed lesbian community.  The name Thorndyke alone should tell you something but wait till you get a load of Louise Lewis as repressed lesbian chemistry teacher, Miss Branding, who leads Nancy down her path of perdition, albeit, glamming her up for the camera.

                                                       Oh, girls, it is just too much, and so much fun!  Don't miss this special treat, tonight at 8.  We will all be here!   I hope Nostalgiaferatu is at hand.

                                                        And wait till you see all those 1950s bullet bras and sweaters!

                                                       Sandra Harrison's hair is so stunning, and her make-up so striking, her look, girls, will have you running to Sally Hershberger the next day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                         See you tonight at 8, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                        It will be an evening of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
