Episode 17 - Hammer's Karnstein Trilogy or "Carmilla Comes A Cropper"

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONLY LIGHT SPOILERS

Greetings, Willing Participants! Come and join us for this wildly-Gothic, atmospheric episode of RPM!

This time Val delves into the blood-soaked world of Hammer films, to look at their Karnstein trilogy. Tales of female vampires who want to seduce you before draining your blood.

We open with Val's puerile and smutty tribute to Hammer movies, as he visits a Hammer tavern and talks to the barkeep about rude vampire ladies who may or may not look like Caroline Munro.

Once that silliness is out of the way, Val takes us to Karnstein castle itself, where he relates the story of Hammer's Karnstein films - the stars, the behind the scenes drama and the quality of the films themselves.

This episode is dedicated to the wonderful Peter Cushing and the fabulous Ingrid Pitt. Two horror stars who are sadly no longer with us, but whose rampant talent raises the level of "The Vampire Lovers" and "Twins of Evil" to Hammer classics.

So come on in! Join us once again for BLOOD! THRILLS! LARFS! And a family of hedgehogs in the toilet!
