Ok this thread has an easy premise: someone posts a vague(not TOO much detail) description of the plot of a horror or sci-fi movie and members try to guess which film it is. Winner gets to pick next film. Have fun and if you want, inject a little humor in the descriptions as well.
Here's an example: A town goes to sleep while aliens knock their women up.. VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED(1960)
Zombie Cool
-
Starting off with this one:
A living corpse wanders around a small Massachusetts town occasionally murdering people..
-
The Curse of the Living Corpse (1964) ?
-
The Curse of the Living Corpse (1964) ?
Good guess, but no. Think earlier..and moves slooooly... ;)
oh and , he likes his tea.. Zombie LOL
-
Mad Ghoul?
-
Mad Ghoul?
No, but you are so VERY close to it..same studio.
-
Is it Mummy's Tomb or Mummy's Ghost? Both New England towns (Mapletown), both Universal, both have tana tea. The Tomb has Zucco...so that gets my guess....since he's in Mad Ghoul too.

It is THE MUMMY'S TOMB..I thought that the "drinking tea" would be a dead giveaway..lol
It's your turn! :)

No. There are a lot of bits of different legends used, so the bathing in blood probably came from Bathory. Also, the character is a countess.

Nope. Wrong country but right time period.
Another hint: The actor who plays twin brothers had a lead role in one of the early AIP/Poe/Price films. He was also in a cool Eurohorror flick featuring Queen Of The Vampires. *nudge, nudge* ;) ;) (a nudge is as good as a ;) to a blind vampire bat)

More Hints:
It's from the '70s. It stars a guy who was in several Horror flicks of the time, and was also a guest star in a Kolchak episode. His performance in this film is very good. He's one of my favorite actors.
-

Nope.

Another day, another hint:
The star was in a fairly well known Eurohorror vampire flick that had a title change to match the title of this film so they could play a double bill with similar sounding titles. They made a great Horror drive-in double feature back in the '70s with this fellow starring in both films. The vamp film also starred another male lead well known in the genre as well as two major Eurohotties.

A non US resident, who the government believes they "own" because of once residing in America (albeit briefly) returns to the US for a visit. The town is quite different from the larger areas roamed in the stranger's life since leaving. Upon flying into town, the stranger visits all the happening spots, stops by the local eatery, catches a movie, and ends his night the center of attraction.
Unfortunately the stranger's ways don't sit well with the townsfolk, and attracts the attention of the US government . These ways include being extremely ill mannered and pushy, and being a menace. The townsfolk eventually give the stranger the cold shoulder in the end and the government proves they suck at everything once more, as they are completely impotent and complicit in the stranger's bad behavior. An absorbing tale of a someone trying to get out of the shadow of their father if you really think about it. :angel:

Yep. Mike guessed it correctly when I similarly posted it as the pic in the other thread (Name The Monster Movie). His "Deja-Vu" comment was his nod that it was the same answer. It's his now to post or pass.

All good guesses, but non of those. I feel this film is generally underrated and I've always like it, but there is one scene with a yellow sleeping bag that once seen, can never be forgotten (and not for good reasons, lol).
