This is the Evil Never Dies podcast with Bretton Carl. This podcast may contain adult themes, violence and strong language. Listener discretion is advised. (Music) (Music) (Music) (Music) (Music) Welcome back to episode 294 of The Evil Never Dies podcast. I'm Brett here with Carl. What's going on, man? Besides working on the hunt. Well, it's been a hell week. We're going to start with video Bob, who everybody hears us talk about all the time. I knew him in high school. He used to be a co-host of his shows on public access. You know, he moved to Vegas a few years ago and bought this badass house. Well, unfortunately, they had a fire and it was a bad fire. They were okay, but he lost a lot of stuff in the fire and it pretty much has destroyed the house. We're going to have to redo the whole thing. So I'm going to send positive vibes out to video Bob and Rachel. Then it gets worse. Last night, as we taped this, coming on from work downtown Fort Worth, I see smoke in my neighborhood. I thought maybe the school had caught on fire. It was so big. I get home and Brett's in the hunt and we're just sort of chit chatting. I'm like, "There's a fire, Brett." You know, looking on Facebook, the neighborhood pages, I couldn't figure out where it was. My nephew called. It was my sister's house. My brother-in-law's truck exploded. He's okay. He had some burns. And it caught not only their house, but their neighbor's house on fire and they're both gone. They've lost everything. My sister and my brother-in-law and their neighbor. So lots of blessings are needed. You know, some of the closest people to me have a very similar tragedy. It's just been a very heartbreaking day. Yeah, within 24 hours. Yeah. So I don't really have the words. I thought about making a video about it. I just didn't. You know, we're still trying to figure out what to do. And I've been sick all week with his cough. Yeah, I know. But I'm going to tell you what, my brother-in-law is a damn trooper. He got out of a truck that exploded, got out of the fire, but just he has some burns. And, you know, he's a Vietnam vet. I guess he's been in helicopter crashes and he took this thing just like a champ. You know, he's definitely shook up. But that's Alice in Chainsaw and the rooster. Well, that's Larry Brown right there. Ain't found a way to kill me yet. So tough, dude. Guys, a hero. I fucking was in that house last night after the burn-in stopped and cutting my finger real bad and I've been crying all day. I feel like I'm such a pussy compared to those Vietnam guys, man. Oh, I know. I know. Dude's just so much respect for him. Exactly. I feel so bad for him and my sister, Bob, too, and Rachel. I don't have the words. So, yeah, it's been a bad day. But we're doing the show. We're doing the haunt. Luckily, we had the show pre-planned, so we got that out of the way. Brett's got Madame Blu-ray. And you bring it back, so you don't need my Blu-ray back. Oh, let me grab that real quick so I can show it. I'm sorry. I'm coughing. These allergies have killed me, being out in that haunted house for two weeks. Yeah, we need to show off the video. He's got it. I got it here. And I've had such a rough day. I've got some new stuff here. This is 360 Madagascar vanilla vodka, and it tastes sweet. It's a sweet vanilla. I needed this drink, man. I needed it. That, man, shit. It's been a bad couple of days. Well, in about two months ago, my niece and her husband's garage caught on fire. So, yeah. So, yeah, that's all I can say. If everybody would send out good vibes, prayers, or whatever you do for whatever you do, man. Whatever you do, man. We just discussed. So, bummer. Yeah, but we're going to go ahead and move on with the show. As y'all remember, we've been doing Hammer Vampire films for about a year now. Yeah, it has been maybe longer than that. Maybe longer than that. I think it's been longer than that. So, I warned you we're getting to the abyss of the Hammer Dracula's. I wish I hadn't coughed until I got on the air here. I'm so sorry, everybody. Just do a shot out of that bottle. Fuck that, dude. Fuck that ice. Yeah, we're doing. Actually, it's the seventh Dracula film produced by Hammer films. And it's Dracula AD 72. Yes, it is. Or as I like to call it, Dracula versus the hippies. Yeah, that's sort of an appropriate name. Apparently, the movie Count Jorgo, which I've tried to get Brett to watch to no avail so far, influenced Hammer to thinking that they could bring Dracula to the modern day. And that's exactly what they did. This is the first of two modern day, 1970 modern. I mean, when they filmed them, it was. Now, it's over 50 years old. Which might give it a little bit of redemption since it's looking back to the 70s. I think if you had seen it in the 70s, it would have been worse. That's my take on it. I used to hate this movie, but I'm giving it a chance this time. Okay. All right. So, I'll let you hit it. Like I said, it's the seventh Dracula film in the Hammer series directed by Alan Gibson. And he is like a totally new director for Hammer at the time. He's actually Canadian. And screenplay by Don Houghton based on Count Dracula and Professor Van Helsing by Brom Stoker. Produced by Josephine Douglas. Cinematography by Dick Bush. Edited by James Needes. Music by Mike Vickers. That music. Oh my God. Dude, I actually like this, that music. You like that score? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. The 70s, Grindhouse shit, you know. Like we said, production company is Hammer Film Productions distributed by Columbia Warner Distributors. Which is... Columbia and Warner ever have any connection. It's just Warner now. Well, Columbia would have been CBS, I believe. Released date 28th of September of 1972. Has a running time of 96 minutes. I would have been one year old. One year old. So this is the first Hammer film I've been alive for, I guess. Country United Kingdom English language. Reportedly. Reportedly. There's some hippie dialogue in this movie. And I don't understand hippie. You don't understand hippie? I do not know. Alright. Well, since you're on the hippie streak, why don't you go ahead and give us the plot of this one, Carl. Okay, so it starts out, it does not follow Scars of Dracula. This sort of has a different ending. It's like, I feel like there was probably another movie in between Scars of Dracula and this one that they never made. That's what we're going to go with, so it's a different ending. Van Helsing has returned after being conspicuously missing for several movies. And him and Dracula are having a duke out. They're on this damn carriage fighting each other. It goes on for a bit. Dracula has a servant named Alducard in this. I don't know how that guy was alive in the 1800s and comes back in the 70s, but either way. Van Helsing gets Dracula, stakes him with a buggy wheel, isn't it? Yep. And I think Van Helsing dies in this too. Yeah, he gets thrown off to the side there. So both Dracula and Van Helsing are both dead. And I guess they stayed dead for about, freak, maybe a hundred years. So we fast forward to 1972 London and geez, heck. This alley card guy, which is Dracula backwards, is running around with the hippies. And somehow, some way, there's a 70s hippies band playing at this rich guy's mansion. I don't know how that happened or why it happened, but they are pissed. I guess it was the rich guy's son brought him there or something. And this is actually a very tame movie. I would have thought it would have been a pretty explicit nudity in it nudity. Oh, but it was rated PG. PG, very low key movie, but not a lot of drug use or nothing. Just these hippies hanging around having a big party in this dude's mansion. And Alducard is there. And yeah, it's just, if you can get past this first 10 minutes of the movie, you'll be doing yourself a favor because it's a very, very, very hard for me to get through that. It goes on about 10 good minutes of this hippie band playing. And finally, the cops show up where they call them the fuzz and this and they all leave. I don't know, man, for this, I got to use some of this vampire Fang venom, I believe, just the hippies off. So this Alducard is buddies with a, I forget what her name is, Van Helsing, who is the great, great, great, great granddaughter of one of the Van Helsings, I guess. But her grandfather is alive in this world. So she and her friends are going to a black mass that Alducard is going to perform. And the shit hits the fan and Dracula is resurrected. And that's that. Then it actually gets to be a pretty okay movie after we get these hippies, if you haven't killed off. Look, I am not a fan of the 70s culture. It was, you know, growing up with my dad, you know, yeah, he definitely was not my sister, you know, it's still a hippie. So, I always related to that song. What was it? All the young dude, you know, where my brother, you know, with his beetles and his stones never got, never understood that revolution stuff. That was me. I didn't, I don't get it. I don't get the beetles. I don't get the piece. I don't get the hippies. I never have got that whole thing. I'm a child of the 80s. And we were for anarchy. Anarchy, baby. No peace. All right. All right. Carl, I got a question for you. I mean, just by the look at some of these hippies, you know, they were doing their own acid, I guess. Now, if Dracula was to bite one of these hippies on acid, would he be tripping balls to? No. Okay. He's immune to poisons and drugs. Okay. All right. You woke chatter box up back there for this. Just wanted to clear that up there. No, he would not get high on the acid. But that's where we'll take it and it goes from there. Hummer because it might have been a better movie. Crisper Lee sort of checks in this one. He don't really have much of a, he don't do a very good job, really. Yeah. How did he get him to do this? I don't know. I don't know. We'll get into that when we go through the trivia. Because he's always bitching about how he hates all these terrible Dracula movies and then he ends up in this one. All right. Let's go. Let's go over the cast now over the cast. First off, we got, of course, Christopher Lee is count Dracula. This would be his sixth appearance in the hammer Dracula series since he was not in one of them. Yeah. Which is still our most viewed show ever. Brides of Dracula. And Peter Cushing is Lorimer Van Helsing and Lawrence Van Helsing. And the grand, great, grand sons of the original Abraham Van Helsing, I guess. Well, Lawrence Van Helsing, I guess, is actually supposed to be the Abraham part. But they changed the name, which I don't know why. So who the hell knows these people were tripping. Literally tripping. Literally. And this was Peter Cushing's first role as Van Helsing again since Brides of Dracula. So still our most watched episode ever. Next, we got Stephanie Beacham is Jessica Van Helsing. That's the granddaughter. Christopher Nimi is John Alcard. Alucard? Alucard, yeah. Which is Dracula backwards. You've that in one of the universal. Oh, it is. Isn't it? That's dumb. God, I wish I'd quit coughing. I think son of Dracula, they called him Alucard in that. Oh, Jesus. That's a movie we're going to have to review someday. It's got. I forget who's in it. I'm about to have a coughing attack. So keep talking. Next, we got Marsha Hunt as gain or cheating. Lon Chaney Jr. I can talk now. He's in the son of Dracula. Caroline Munra as Laura Bellows. Janet Key is Anna Bryant. Michael Kitchen is Greg. Lolly Bowers is Martin. The Multron party hostess. I think that was that old lady that was bitching about to call the the call the fuzz. I think you're right. Flanagan. Whoever that is as a go-go dancer. Stone ground as themselves. They were the band at the party. How was that terrible band? That was some funky shit, dude. I was sort of getting into it. I cannot deal with that kind of stuff. When I think of the '70s, I want Led Zeppelin. I want UFO. I want old scorpions. Give me some bad company, not that shit. No. No. Well, this was early '70s, so it was coming out of the... Well, Zeppelin and Sabbath existed by this point. Yeah, you're right. I am clearly just a heavy metal guy, right? I guess that's just it. Because to me, music didn't even start to Led Zeppelin. It came along. I guess Elvis was okay, but... Dude, yeah. I can't deal with this stuff. Why couldn't they had a Led Zeppelin band in this thing instead of... Well, they were supposed to have the band The Faces. Who the hell were they? They were like a big British band back in the day. They probably sucked too. [laughs] Hey, I can semi-take from the '60s or psychedelic shit. Would be the doors. Okay. I like some of the door stuff and then some of the later Pink Floyd after the Sid... Where the name is left? Sid Barrett. Yeah. That's just not a time frame I can deal with musically. I'm sorry. I'm just too much of a '80s kid with... Yeah, I do. It's just too much for me. I get past it. I made it. I survived. All right. Next, we've got Michael Cole's Inspector Murray. And I'm not going to name all these damn hippies. Fuck the hippies, man. And then we've got... Man, like they would have said it. How do you like that? Yeah, there's like 10 hippies. I'm not going to name them all. Yeah, screw that. Everybody knows what a hippie looks like. Just like a pumpkin head. That's what a pumpkin head looks like. Not that damn thing from the pumpkin head movie. I'll tell you what this movie, if it would have took a turn in the wrong direction, it would have been worse than that damn Mandy Warhol's Dracula. Hey, come here. We have a special guest. Come on. Since we're talking about the music, let's go over the soundtrack a little bit here. I got Halloween here. She wanted to say hi, but she got mad. This is actually a control track composed by Mike Vickers of Manford Man. I have no idea who the hell that is. The British band that was pretty big back in the day. And he sort of made it like the black exploitation style movie. You know, like I was talking about the old grindhouse movies and all that back in the day. I have no idea who he is. The only British bands from that era I know is Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. That's it. And Deep Purple. Don't forget Deep Purple. Can't forget Deep Purple. I'm just in a box bread. I am. And I'm really in a box. Oh, shit. Now they didn't actually release the commercially, the soundtrack until 2009. I wonder why that. Ah, the fuck did they release it then? I don't know. Well, I don't want it in that band. The band Stone Rounds actually an American band. And the two songs they played are You Better Come Through For Me and Alligator Man, which I loved Alligator Man, dude. That was awesome. I don't see how you cannot like that. I do not like that. Like I said, they were a replacement for the faces who had other. Think how good that movie had been if they freaking UFO would have been in it. Well, have you heard UFO stuff from 69? Let's just pass that. There you go. Go to Too Hot To Handle. The only band from that. Black Sabbath was the greatest band ever with their debut album. Oh, that song Black Sabbath still sounds like a modern song to me. Here's the blue ray. Yeah, that Brett's stolen. There ain't really no one. One of those special features. That is a Warner Brothers archive release. Okay. They make them make them on demand. Make them on demand. Pretty much. Really. Warner. Much credit to Warner Brothers for still putting out stuff on Blu-ray. They're one of the few that do. They cleaned it up really good. It looks absolutely great. That and the next film in the series, which is Satanic Rights of Dracula, both looks so good. One of the best looking Blu-rays I've seen, actually. So yeah, Warner does a great job with their stuff. They always have. There is no special features. That's not what they're in the business for. They're just in the business. They put these things out and make them look good. And they excel at that. So I would give this thing a four star. It's got to get the sounds good on it. Yeah. It's not that music. And the picture's great. It'd be great to at least have it maybe a commentary track, but that's not what they do. That's not what Warner Archives does. Yeah. They just throw the movie out there. It's definitely, it's hard to find this movie. I think you had, that's why you got my Blu-ray. You couldn't find it on streaming without. Yeah, I couldn't find it on streaming at all. Nowhere will. Yeah. Primes got it, but they wanted like $6.99 to rent it. Rent it. It's like. I have it on Voodoo, but it's a standard definition edition. Gotcha. Gotcha. But yeah, I give the, I give the Blu-ray about a four to it. They do a good job on it for sure. They did. All right. Well, I guess we'll get into some trivia here. Let's do it. The character of Jessica Van Helsing was originally written to be the daughter of Professor Van Helsing. However, the death of Peter Cushing's wife aided him considerably so they changed the script and was quickly rewritten to make him Jessica's grandfather. Yeah, this was a random time as wife passed away. And Peter Cushing kept a picture of his deceased wife on the desk in his office in the movie. Let's see here. This film was inspired by the story of the Highgate Vampire, a media sensation surrounding reports of a supposed supernatural activity in highgate cemetery in London in the early 70s. I remember that story briefly. I didn't know nothing about it until I read up on it the other day. This film was released only two days before the film Horror Express 1972. That's a good movie. Which likewise started Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. I bet it has to do with the train. It does. I have an arrow video version of that. It has all kinds of special features. It doesn't have hippies. Dracula's taunting of Van Helsing in the church. You would play your brains against mine, against me who has commanded nations, directly references Dracula's dialogue from Bromstoker's novel. Whilst they played wits against me, against me who commanded nations and intrigued for them and fought for them hundreds of years before they were born. I was, "How the hell do you say that?" Counter-mining them. That sounds like something that Vlad Tempest might have actually said, honestly. Exactly. When he was killing the Turks, Ottomans, Turks. I never knew the difference between an Ottoman and a Turk, actually. Michael Cole's reprised his role as Inspector Murray in the Satanic Rights of Dracula in 1973. Besides Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, he was the only actor to play the same character in more than one hammer Dracula film. Yeah, the daughter gets recast in Satanic Rights as well. Or the granddaughter, I shouldn't say. We were talking earlier about Christopher Lee not doing a very good job in this. It's because he hated the script. Okay, so fucking blame him. He was appalled by it, as a matter of fact. Don't blame him. He bitched a lot about a lot of the scripts, though. He bitched about every script, I think, except for maybe the first one. I guess money talks. Remember the Count Dracula prints a darkness, he didn't even talk in it. Yeah, he bitched about all the movies he did with Dracula. I think he liked that Jess Franco Dracula better than any of them, which we reviewed on the last non-hammer Dracula review. Remember, we're reviewing non-hammer Dracula as we go along here, too. Yeah, we're trying to get him around in the same year as they were. I think the Jack Palance is coming up next. Yeah. Well, we should actually did the Count Yorka before this one, but... It's not a Dracula. Oh, it's not. It's a Count Yorka. Okay. Don't you get it, Brad? There's a whole lot of Count vampires out there. Okay. Just like Count Karabi. You know, people call Count Karabi Draco, he gets all pissed off and starts yelling at him. Because I am not Draculia. Count Yorka was not Dracula. There's a dozen Count vampires, dude. Then we got barons. There's baron vampires. Okay. We're all royalty in the vampire world, damn it. The title of the film was changed to Dracula today for its August 28th, 1981 airing on the CBS Late Movie. That sounds dumb. Dracula today. It sounds like a fucking morning show. Yeah, sort of. It was also renamed Dracula 73 for its French and Spanish releases because it didn't reach Portugal. Yeah, it didn't. It was a year later, so. Well, I guess that makes sense. Let's see here. Yeah, here we go. And the opening scenes and narrator refers to the original Van Helsing as Dr. Lawrence Van Helsing, despite the fact that his initials in the first sequel were JVH. And in the novel, Van Helsing's first name was Abraham. So, yeah. Man of many names, I guess. Caroline Monroe observed how Peter Cushing would retreat to his dressing room between takes. He must have been tore up about his wife. It was. It almost ended his career. He missed several movies. There were a couple of hammer films he did not do because of after he lost his wife. Film takes place in September of 1872 and September of 1972. Let's see. Tim Burton says this is one of his favorite films. Tim Burton is a weirdo. Lawrence Van Helsing was born on July 12, 1814 and died on September 18, 1872. We don't have Dracula, but we got Halloween here. Oh, she's fluffy. She is fluffy. She's been staying in a lot since it cooled off some. She's probably going to get more fluffier with it getting cold outside. Well, it's going to get hot again, so it don't matter. Yeah, it's supposed to be 90s again next week. Damn it. Good. It's the end of October almost. The opening scene was a laster minor of hammers, former glory days. Because it did start like a. That sort of threw me off when it started because I was like, that ain't 1972. In the film, Johnny Alucard is his and his friends. They're ritual to coincide with the feast day of Belfogor and Christian demonology. Belfogor is a demon who personifies sloth. Which is one of the seven deadly sins, I guess. It is sloth is. Joseph Van Helsing was born June 11, 1783 and died on May 2nd, 1847. Okay. Oh, shit. Too many Van Helsing's for me too many. I didn't just have the original one and then why do you have to show all the. Along the line, you know, there's a whole line of them, dude. Just like other bunch of count vampires. It's tradition. Among the demons invoked by Johnny Alucard in this ritual is Behemoth. Behemoth is a character from the Book of Job, a primeval chaos monster. He is thought to be a mythological depiction of a hippopotamus gluttony. Yep. Yep. He's a demon of gluttony. I'm showing all my demon knowledge off now, I guess. Damn demons. Oh, let's see here. Johnny Alucard's triumph. Stag. Oh, his car was RVC 425H would appear again in George and Mildred's dollar. What? Season one, episode seven, what's that? What the fuck are you talking about? Who the hell's George and Mildred? I'm leaving. You're talking. You dropped some massive. I'm just reading off the screen here, dude. That's all you got. I guess we're done. Yeah, that's about it. We've talked about a lot of the other stuff. Then we're in the show with whatever the hell you just said. I fucked it all up. You just did. Right. Whatever. How do you? You go first. I want to hear you go first, so that you love the music so much. I did like Gator Man. I did really did like that song. I thought it was catchy. Are you crazy? No. I actually did like it. The other song wasn't that good. The first one they did. Yeah. But anyway, I think this might be the first time I've actually seen this. I don't remember seeing this before. I thought I may have maybe seen it when I was a little kid, but. You probably saw "Sotanic Rights of Dracula" since it's also in the modern day. But the better movie, just saying. Way better movie. Yeah, it was just a little long and drawn out, you know. It wasn't even really that much blood. No, it's a very tame movie. They should have made it more bloody. Maybe it would have been a little better, you know. Bumped it up to an R rating, maybe. Maybe a titty here and every once in a while, maybe two. Most hammer films are like that, you know. Not this one. It's a very, very PG movie. Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking. I'm Halloween. But uh. Halloween's wanting it. Yeah, I wasn't too impressed with this, man. I'm going to have to give this one about a two. Oh, hella two. Yeah. Well. Had a sort of weird ending too. Not a fan. Halloween's not a fan. She's talking now. You're not a fan. Well. This is probably the worst one out of all of them, dude, out so far. Well, it gets worse when you get to that Dracula meets the seven brothers, but that's neither here nor there. I guess I'll have to see then. We might not even do that when it doesn't have Christopher Lee in it, so. Oh, okay. I never liked this movie. Like I said, I'm not a fan of that 70s culture. It's just the way I was raised and being a kid of the 80s. The beginning of it's okay. You know, you got Van Helsing and Dracula fighting. Then you bring those damn hippies in and it just, yeah. Sort of went down from there. What went down? It actually picks back up, I think, after you get past that. And Johnny Alakylard does his black mass and people start dying and Dracula starts feeding and. You know, Van Helsing starts fighting and I kind of dig it. If they cut that music scene down to about maybe 30 seconds, I think this might be a good movie. And music, that sequence just ruined it for me. But I just don't, plus, I just don't think Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing both are in. Peter Cushing had lost his, almost at his father, his wife and he just wasn't into it. And Christopher Lee checked himself. He just was just, they didn't even look good in his makeup with his eyes. And I guess I could give this thing a looking at it with older eyes, maybe a 2.25, maybe a 2.5. Definitely not as good as Satanic Rites of Dracula, which comes next. That is what I've said over and over as my guilty pleasure movie. This is not. No, it's definitely better than some. Like that damn Mandy Warhol's Dracula. I knew you were going to fucking bring that up. It's better than. I don't know. I thought the Count Dracula, Jess Franco, that you wasn't a fan of is definitely a better movie that came out around the same time. But we're going to move on to the Satanic Rites of Dracula and we're going to do that sooner than later, I think. You may do that next month. I want you to see how that works. Yeah, that's all I got. Maybe I can find it on streaming. You'll probably have to bar my blue ray again. That's in public domain a lot. I don't know. One or somehow lost the license of that movie at some point and they got it back now. Might be on YouTube then. It's got like 50 different names. Yeah. It's got some black masses really going on in that movie. But yeah, this movie's very forgetful and I think it's best just to forget that it exists. Yeah, not a big. I don't recommend watching it. It's just, if I could cut the movie down, I might could make a good director's cut if I were a producer's cut or everyone would call it. Yeah, it's good and that. Let's just forget this movie exists. But you kind of have to watch this to get to the next one. Yeah, you do. So it's a true sequel. There you go. Well, that's all we got. Dracula 8072. It's a thumbs down. All right, everybody. Thanks for watching listening. Get that like and subscribe just gets out on all the social medias and see it. Carl's going to go look at Halloween lights again. Yeah.
