Hammer Horror tries to strike Gothic gold again with THE BRIDES OF DRACULA (1960, Fisher)!
With three different writers, the film's seams show despite the heavy lifting from stars Peter Cushing, Yvonne Monlaur and David Peel.
Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 23:59; Discussion 33:47; Ranking 57:12

Quote
The FBI proposed that ‘Lennon should be arrested, if at all possible, on possession of narcotics charges’ - I'm quoting now from one of the documents "which would make him more immediately deportable." And these instructions to local police officials include a kind of a wanted poster. A picture of Lennon, you know, height, weight, eye color and so on. You'd think that they wouldn’t really need this… They have a picture there anyway. But the strangest thing is the picture isn't of John Lennon. It's of another guy, David Peel.
Jon Wiener, who filed suit against the FBI to get their files on Lennon

153: David Peel & The Lower East Side // The Pope Smokes Dope
Tumblr media
The Pope Smokes Dope David Peel & The Lower East Side 1972, Elektra
youtube
There’s little point in my trying to explain the significance of David Peel when Jeffrey Lewis’s “The Complete History of Punk Rock and Its Development on the Lower East Side, 1950 to 1975” exists. Give that a watch and let Lewis walk you from Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music to Richard Hell’s “Blank Generation” in 8:23. Around 3:40 and 4:50 in the medley Peel shows up, credited by Lewis as the innovator of what we now as recognize as the sound of electric punk with the song “Lower East Side” from his 1970 album The American Revolution.
The ‘60s were a wild time. Peel was a Puerto Rican-American street musician who would holler pro-weed, anti-war songs on the sidewalk while banging on an acoustic guitar—so of course he ended up signed to Elektra Records. A few years later John literal Lennon took a shine to him and signed him to the Beatles’ Apple Records, co-producing his third LP The Pope Smokes Dope with Yoko Ono. Despite Lennon and Ono’s involvement, Pope sounds just like Peel’s first two records: a couple of freak folk / proto-punk raveups; some Country Joe & The Fish-esque musical skits (including a long bit on the variable uses of the word ‘Fuck’ that anticipates some highly-forwarded emails from the Web 1.0 era); and his usual ‘legalize it!’ protest tunes. New to the mix are a few gaptoothed odes to his heroes, the best of which is the adorably capering “The Ballad of New York City/John Lennon • Yoko Ono,” which sounds like a song the Trash Can Man would write for Randall Flagg after being given a high-rise condominium to burn down.

Even as he condenses decades of musical development into a few minutes, Lewis takes the time to point out that Peel was a prototypical hippie as much or more than he was a punk, and half of the songs on any given Peel album are not good. That holds true for The Pope Smokes Dope, which delights in using a spoon to fling baby food at The Man but gets at least as much goop on itself. Your mileage with this will vary based on your tolerance for hippie culture as a whole, but to me it’s redeemed by the fact that Peel is very clearly the sort of hippie who wasn’t going to cut his hair and become a realtor. It helps too that the album very successfully pissed off a broad coalition of the sorts of people you want to see pissed off, trolling having once been the proper province of the left wing rather than the right.

'Brides of Dracula' – the Hammer Films sequel on Peacock
‘Brides of Dracula’ – the Hammer Films sequel on Peacock
When Christopher Lee declined to reprise his role as Count Dracula in Brides of Dracula (1960), the sequel to the enormously popular The Horror of Dracula, Hammer went another direction and instead followed the investigations of vampire hunter Van Helsing (Peter Cushing). He doesn’t actually appear until the second act, after French schoolteacher Marianne (Yvonne Monlaur, a big eyed,…

Days 10 and 11 here while I try to catch up after suddenly getting sick after Comic Con.
Day 10 is everyone's favorite threat to produce, Bunnicula, surveying his devastation.
Day 11 is a bit of a cut as it's Baron Meinster from The Brides of Dracula, as portrayed by David Peel. Truly a terrifying figure, what with his surfer curl.

"Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?". No lo sé, como lo veas, pero yo que tú me quedaría a escuchar este "Rock and Roll Time" de Roger McGuinn de 1976 (álbum "Cardiff Rose") si tus prejuicios no te lo impiden. Un poko de rock cláshico nunca viene mal. Gracias a Carlos Abraxas (fenómeno).
