Hot Shots of the Week: Double Trouble

The 1971 Hammer horror film Twins of Evil is one of my favorites the studio ever produced. It’s wonderfully schlocky, creepily atmospheric, and about as sexy as Hammer horror ever got, thanks largely to the bodacious, identical twin sisters Madeleine and Mary Collinson, who play very thirsty vampires. Poor Peter Cushing is barely a match for the combined might of their magical cleavage prowess.

Suck our blood, please!

Fresh off being named Playboy’s Playmates of the Month in October 1970, the Collinsons are positively aglow with sexual charisma in Twins of Evil. Their acting careers, mostly in B-movies, only lasted a few years. Twins of Evil stands as their crowing cinematic achievement, thanks largely to their heaving Hammer bosoms and the total blast they seemed to have playing sexy vamps.

“Just a nibble, sis. I promise.”
“The devil has sent me twins of evil” is a line uttered by Peter Cushing and it takes on double entendre meaning, thanks to the Collinson babes.
Is this Mary or Madeleine? Who cares.
Double your gothic horror pleasure.
