Man, siggy, you just stumbled upon an answer here. I was sitting around pondering the “whither Vlad?” question after working on the in-depth piece on Hammer films for Acorn’s website, and this post gelled it all in my mind…In at least one of Christopher Lee’s Dracula flicks done for Hammer Films (I don’t have them handy, and they all run together in my mind after a while), Drac is brought back by having blood dripped upon his ashes (this also happens to Barbara Steele’s vampire/witch character in Mario Bava’s [i]Black Sunday[/i]). Something or someone is going to accidentally or purposely expose Vlad’s ashes to protoblood, and she’s going to reanimate. At least that’s my hunch. It’s not based on much except for cinematic vampire tradition and the fact that former British horror starlet Britt Ekland (well, she was in a handful of notable ones, anyway) is going to show up. What would be really interesting, for me anyway, is if she showed up at the festival playing the same (or similar) role that she played in [i]The Wicker Man[/i].
Sorry, a bit of a rant there…
