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 … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Double Trouble

At gunpoint they force the family to drive them … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Santánico Pandemonium in From Dusk till Dawn
