A double feature of terrifying and gruesomely exploitative rare films of the 70s. The cinema will not be held responsible for any trauma or moral debasement induced by the evening's horrors.Countess Dracula is pure sleazy Hammer Horror, starring Ingrid Pitt in various states of dress and undress, playing Hungarian Countess Erzsebet Bathory, who allegedly tortured and killed over 600 virgin girls at the turn of the 17th Century to satisfy her taste for bathing in their blood. So the Dracula in the title is a bit of a misnomer, but it's bloody and sexy so it seems to fit.
