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.

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.
