Time To Start Screaming!
Time to celebrate this film with a great title!
Let’s Enter The “Tower!”
What a great title for a film! And while it sounds like a wild ride, it’s a film that was originally released with THIS title!
“She Lost Her… You Know What!”
Yep, that’s the translation for this German film – clearly the Americanized title was even more obvious!
Cult Actress Teri Tordai starred.
The plot is simple: while King Louis X of France is on a campaign, Queen Marguerite is reigning in Paris. During this time, the inhabitants of the city are disturbed by mysterious murders near a tower.
Tordai had a short run of cult films at the time.
Check out the trailer:
Luckily, there is always time for a bth in a film like this. What I love about this film is that is’s a classic gothic horror film, with lavish costumes and barely-clad maidens:
Tordai went on to make several other euro-sleaze films with German names – but never really achieved international stardom:
In the late 60’s and early 70’s, classic horror film companies went erotic in order to appeal to a new generation:
“Blood Nymphs” Indeed!
The posters were lurid, the eroticism was amped up to keep pace with changing tastes, and the stars were gorgeous!
“The Vampire Lovers” showcased all of Ingrid Pitt, and also starred Madeline Smith as well:
Smith was a great cult movie Queen who starred in many great films of that era – you can see them all here:
Let’s not forget that gothic horror around the world was popular, just as long as the plots featured lots of nudity to go with the blood:
This is another great title for a pretty good Spanish horror film – see the trailer by clicking here:

YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY, STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER and THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES are all unbeatable titles! And the films aren’t too bad, either.
You have to go to Ian Fleming novels to get titles of this quality!
Cheers,

Terrific note…”Strip Nude For Your Killer” is a favorite as is “The Blood-Splattered Bride.” a treasure trove!

I didn’t know about this film, John, though of course ‘Vampie Lovers’ is an old favourite. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, these creepy gothic films tried so hard to “modernize” with nudity and blood, but they ultimately felt “out of touch” with the times…too bad because I always loved the atmosphere!
