She's Waiting to Love You... to Death
This post was inspired by TCM and comedian Mario Cantone. I love me a little Mario, and the brilliant comedian was gracious enough to take part in a little interview in the site's early days. (HERE:) I tend to watch TCM in waves and really haven't watched much the last several months. I tuned in again recently, to catch Mario on Monday nights Horror film marathon which is running the entire month of October.
Although 1971's The Velvet Vampire didn't air on a Monday, watching had me looking, and setting recordings for other horror movies I thought I might like. I LOVED The Velvet Vampire, not because it was so great, but because it introduced me one of the hottest studs from the seventies, actor Michael Blodgett.
FH readers know I love 70's cinema, it's horror films, it's softcore flicks and all of those favorite hunks from the 70's. Blodgett is the ultimate seventies hottie to me with his great body, handsome face and especially his floppy head of hair. Not sure why guys from the 1970's turn m on so much, but from movies to models and Playgirl hunks, so many of my favorites come from the 70's/
In The Velvet Vampire, Blodgett plays Lee Ritter, a married man who attracts the eye of the mysterious Diane LeFanu. (Celeste Yarnall) Diane invites Lee and his wife Susan, (Sherry Miles) to spend the weekend with her in her secluded desert estate.
The young couple however, are unaware that Diane is in reality a centuries-old vampire, but soon realize that they are both objects of the pale temptress's seductions. The 1971 film, directed by Stephanie Rothman has been describes as an intriguing slab of erotic vampire horror.
The movie was not an instant hit however, with audiences thinking there wasn't enough horror, nor enough skin to be a considered an exploitation film. It has since become a cult hit, showing up at festivals and film retrospectives.
Although there wasn't a lot of nudity in the film, there were a few scenes, some in Diane's dreams, featuring Blodgett's beautiful butt. Enough, to leave me wanting to see more of the hot young actor. Researching Blodgett was a lot of fun, especially due to his eclectic film resume. You can download the scene above on SendSpace HERE:
The Velvet Vampire wasn't the only film in which the actor is lusted over and chased by another character. In at least two cases that I found, Blodgett is obsessed over (and tied up) by two rather unique male characters, one being his prison guard. Check out those scenes, one a nude scene and one with Blodgett in a pair of leopard skin briefs on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
