Join us while we kind of discuss The Vampire Doll, Lake of Dracula, and Evil of Dracula and then listen to Bradley get kicked out of the library.
THE BLOODTHIRSTY TRILOGY CLIPS / TRAILERS and FREE STREAMS
My usual ‘watch before you listen warning’ is not necessarily in effect for Michio Yamamoto’s BLOODTHIRSTY TRILOGY. It doesn’t matter much in this case because the films are less about plots and reveals and more about mood and vibe. This is warm apple pie cinema. The first time I watched THE VAMPIRE DOLL (1970) I watched without subtitles and still enjoyed it. The movie was somewhat improved by my knowing what the fuck was going on when I later watched with subtitles, but not by much.
All three films in the trilogy were produce and distributed by Toho Studios in Japan. For fans of Godzilla films you will find quite a few crossover actors as well as a score by Riichiro Manabe who composed music for the great GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH.
Below are Trailers and clips used in the episode, readily available movie info TOHO KINGDOM and links to free streams (with ads).

Japanese Horror is very unique and well made, but I find the majority of them made after the 1970’s too scary to watch. Also, I nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award after I received my 2nd nomination
