![]() ![]() The seduction scene before that was too funny, but let's add Roman running around in a circle oblivious that he did just go around in a circle and runs right back into Herbert! The comedic timing was just gold! Sharon Tate is also in this film and she is just beautiful, you could see how Roman would fall in love with her on and off screen so easily. I think one of the funniest scenes in film history is when Roman Polanski is being chased by Count Krolock's feminine vampire son, Herbert. After finding Sarah the next day, they come up with a plan to destroy the count and save Sarah, but with a midnight ball in the mix of vampires, the plans might be a bit harder than they realized. Despite misgivings, Abronsius and Alfred accept the Count's invitation to stay in his ramshackle Gothic castle, where Alfred spends the night fitfully. They break into the castle, but are trapped by the Count's hunchback servant, Koukol. After witnessing Sarah being kidnapped by the local vampire lord, Count von Krolock, the two follow his snow trail, leading them to Krolock's ominous castle in the snow-blanketed hills nearby. Whilst staying at the inn, Alfred develops a fondness for Sarah, the daughter of the tavern keeper Yoine Shagal. The two stay at a local inn, full of angst-ridden townspeople who perform strange rituals to fend off an unseen evil. ![]() The two hunters come to a small Eastern European town seemingly at the end of a long search for signs of vampires. Abronsius is old and withering and barely able to survive the cold ride through the wintry forests, while Alfred is bumbling and introverted. ![]() In the heart of Transylvania Professor Abronsius and his apprentice Alfred are on the hunt for vampires. the inexperienced and nervous? While we're at it, why not add a ball into the mix? Dancing vampires, it just doesn't get any better than this. Instead, how about we have two vampire slayers, one who is calm and experienced vs. This movie is just pure comedy, taking what was so typical at the time of the weary travelers who happen upon a creepy castle with the even creepier host, yet act completely oblivious when strange things happen. Writer, director and co-star Roman Polanski made the first real vampire spoof and what a great movie! If you think about today's spoofs, everything is always a reference to something that's in pop culture. But the 3 people I've shown it too loved it and I think that has got to say something about this great vampire classic. It's sad to say, whenever people ask me for a good vampire movie, one I do recommend is The Fearless Vampire Killers, they always look at me and ask "What's that?". Title (Brazil): "A Dança dos Vampiros" ("The Dance of the Vampires") From the arrival of the frozen professor to the village to the departure of the same professor bringing two vampires in his sleigh, there are many hilarious and unforgettable scenes. Roman Polanski performing an awkward assistant Jack MacGowran in the role of the dedicated professor that accidentally "spread the evil around the world" Alfie Bass in the role of the wolf inn-keeper Shagal Terry Downes and his unforgettable servant Koukol Ian Quarries and his performance as Herbert, the gay vampire-son of the count and Ferdy Mayne in the role of the creepy Count von Krolock, all of them are still awesome in their stunning performances. The beauty of Sharon Tate is still very impressive and very few actresses in cinema history are as beautiful as she. Yesterday I saw "Dance of the Vampire" again, and now I found it a little dated but still excellent. I have watched "Dance of the Vampires" many times, and the last time was on 08 June 2003, when I voted ten (10) in IMDb. The first time I saw it on the 60's or 70's, I felt in love for Sharon Tate and for this movie. "Dance of the Vampires" is my favorite parody of vampire movies ever. The duo of scientists are welcomed by the count and his gay son Herbert (Iain Quarrier) and invited to a vampire ball late night. When Sarah is abducted by the mysterious Count von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne), Professor Abronsius and Alfred head to his creepy castle. They are hosted in an inn by Shagal (Alfie Bass) and sooner the shy Alfred falls in love for the inn-keeper's red-haired daughter Sarah (Sharon Tate). The famous Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran) and his clumsy assistant Alfred (Roman Polanski) travel to the remote Transylvania to research vampires. ![]()
