RICH LIST # 4 : The Genius of Wile E. Coyote - His 15 finest schemes and inventions (with help from ACME)

The fifteen finest schemes and inventions of Mr Wile E. Coyote - Genius.

1) ACME ASPIRIN (from BEEP BEEP - 1952) - Not a device to help capture road runners or rabbits, but necessary to avoid pain when falling from mountains, cliff ledges or when boulders fall on your head.

2) ROCKET ON WHEELS (from BEEP BEEP - 1952) - Travels forward at great speed to keep up with and eventually catch road runner. May shoot upwards and explode.

3) ACME ROCKET POWERED SKATES (from BEEP BEEP - 1952) - A variation on the rocket on wheels idea but with increased personal control. Possibly too fast. No brakes.

4) PRESSURE COOKER (Plan 1 from OPERATION RABBIT - 1952) - To be placed over rabbit hole after applying ingredients. Check first, however, for other rabbit hole entrances and do not look down original rabbit hole to look for rabbit.

5) EXPLOSIVE RABBIT DECOY (Plan 3 from OPERATION RABBIT - 1952) - Fake clockwork rabbit decoy with carefully hidden dynamite. Look out for possible coyote equivalents.

6) ACME BIRD SEED MIXED WITH ACE STEEL SHOT (from ZIPPING ALONG - 1953) -When all else fails. Mix bird seed (staple diet of road runner) with small steel balls. When consumed the bird will be powerless to escape the Giant Magnet (also available in ACME catalogue). Once employed be aware of nearby metal TNT barrels.

7) ACME FEMALE ROAD RUNNER COSTUME (from READY, SET, ZOOM! - 1955) - A simple idea to deceive the road runner. Once the coyote is correctly attired the bird will be unable to tell the difference between him and a possible mate. Not to be worn around other coyotes.

8) ACME BAT MAN'S OUTFIT (from GEE WHIZZ-Z-Z-Z - 1956) - A tight green costume with huge wings which enables you to glide. Warning! Look where you're going.

9) UNIVAC ELECTRONIC BRAIN (from TO HARE IS TO HUMAN - 1956) - A massive state of the art computer complete with Rabbitscope (self assembly only). Capable of delivering you the answer to any question. Ideas include helping decipher the combination of locks on rabbit holes, substituting carrots for grenades, and putting dynamite in rabbit's vacuum cleaners.

10) ACME DEHYDRATED BOULDERS (from SCRAMBLED ACHES - 1957) - Tiny boulders in a packet. Just add water and the boulder will instantly return to its original size and weight. Warning! Fast acting.

11) ACME DO-IT-YOURSELF TORNADO KIT (from WHOA, BE-GONE - 1958) - Solution that creates artificial tornadoes. Includes ACME water pistol to spray on solution to activate tornadoes. Do not spray too close to self especially when close to minefields.

12) ACME INDESTRUCTO STEELBALL (from WILD ABOUT HURRY - 1959) - A simple but ingenious device to crush the road runner when propelled down a hill. Not to be used around mountain ledges, rivers, waterfalls, train tracks and minefields.

13) GIANT MAGNET (from COMPRESSED HARE - 1961) - First trick rabbit into consuming metal carrot then use Giant Magnet to drag in helpless rabbit. Warning! The magnet is extremely powerful and may also attract other metal objects including buses, cruise liners, the Eiffel Tower and rockets.

14) GIANT CATAPULT WITH BOULDER (from TO BEEP OR NOT TO BEEP - 1963) - A classic device to crush victim with boulder. However, do not stand behind, in front, to the side or underneath catapult in case of injury. And absolutely do not stand on boulder if the catapult has failed to fire.

15) MASSIVE RADIO CONTROLLED METAL COYOTE (from THE SOLID TIN COYOTE - 1966) - An exact likeness of the coyote. Can run, hunt and kill all road runners. Behaves exactly like coyotes.

RICH LIST #3 : Nine Devils, Lucifers, Mephistopheles and Satans

Nine Devils, Lucifers, Mephistopheles, Satans, Beezlebubs, Horned Ones, Lords of Lies and Flies and other really bad things like black pointy beards, long fingernails and unnecessary manic laughter.

1) Who is Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) in ANGEL HEART (1987)? He's the Devil! Of course he is! Down on his luck private eye Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) is hired by Mr Cyphre to find his lost "property". The only lead a once famous crooner named Johnny Favorite. Angel goes down south to New Orleans where tarot readings, voodoo rituals, blood drenched sex, and mutilations and dismembered corpses point the way to the Horned One. But we all got it straight away from the name. Well apart from those who weren't going - " Bloody hell is that Robert De Niro?" That and the black pointy beard (dead giveaway), sharp pointy fingernails and talk of souls and so on. Mr S. Atan - now that might have worked.

2) Terence Stamp's Devil in THE COMPANY OF WOLVES (1984) has only a cameo appearance in Neil Jordan's adaptation of the werewolf bits from Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber. But to me he is the Devil. Sharp suit, classy Roller, blonde chauffeur, holding up (what is probably) a child's skull as he strikes another deal in the middle of the night. And absolutely no manic laughter and black beards. Or pitchforks for that matter, well unless they're in the boot.

3) The 'Little Blonde Girl Who Plays With a Ball' Devil in Fellini's "TOBY DAMMIT" segment, based on Edgar Allen Poe's Never Bet the Devil Your Head, from SPIRITS OF THE DEAD aka HISTOIRES EXTRAORDINAIRES (1968). Actor Terence Stamp (this time not the Devil) arrives in Italy for a film award ceremony, plagued by drugs, alcohol, self loathing and disturbing visions of a hunched up scary smiling girl bouncing a ball. Eager to escape the visions and the awards ceremony he takes refuge in a really fast Ferrari, but is unable to avoid his fate. Fellini's Devil (a representation of Toby Dammit's immaturity apparently) was a stroke of genius. But was probably inspired by Luis Bunuel's swearing in Latin schoolgirl Devil in SIMON OF THE DESERT (1965), and Mario Bava's avenging ghost (complete with ball) in OPERAZIONE PAURA aka KILL BABY KILL (1966). Still, easily the scariest on this list.

4) Even scarier than the great vat of green goo Satan (kind of) from PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987). Actually it's the Anti-Christ really (imagine Damien in THE OMEN or Adrian in ROSEMARY'S BABY, just more liquidy). But we do get a glimpse of the Anti-God (yea foul horned one) trapped in another dimension reaching through a mirror. We also get possessions, zombified homeless people, Alice Cooper and an extremely worried Donald Pleasance. Not a lot of manic laughter or black pointy beards here though. Doesn't really work with green liquid...

5) Daniel Emilfork's part time undertaker Satan in THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE aka LA TERRIFICANTE NOTTE DEL DEMONIO (1971). A bunch of tourists are misdirected by a suspicious black clad, odd looking undertaker to an old castle complete with a beautiful blood crazed succubus. He takes a back seat to Erika Blanc for most of the film but he finally gets his moment at the end, bargaining with the priest for his soul. We even get contracts signed in blood. No beards though.

6) Telly Savalas as Leandro in LISA AND THE DEVIL (1972). Leandro is butler to the Countess of a dilapidated mansion plagued by surreal occurrences and brutal murders. He also makes suspiciously life like dolls, and sucks lollipops. Tourist Lisa (Elke Sommer) is drawn into Leandro's nightmarish world after finding a painting of the Devil. Leandro, of course, is a dead ringer for the picture's depiction of the Lord of Lies. Quite menacing but sadly no beard.

7) David Warner as Evil in TIME BANDITS (1981). A Satan in all but name chasing down a bunch of dwarfs, and their friend Kevin, for the prize of a map (stolen from the Supreme Being) to space and time. If he gets the map, Evil will be able to make the universe in his image. Lives in the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness with various minions. Hates dwarfs. Pointy fingernails but again no beard.

8) Peter Cook as George Spiggott in BEDAZZLED (1967). As part of his competition with God to see who will be the first to get to the 100 billion soul mark, George grants the suicidal Stanley Moon (Dudley Moore) seven wishes. In exchange for his soul, he will get the infatuated fool together with his object of lust Margaret (Eleanor Bron). But the Devil, as always, is a tricky bastard and spells as a millionaire, intellectual, pop star and nun all backfire for Stanley. Snappy dresser. Hates hippies. Enjoys practical jokes.

9) Finally, a proper Satan - Richard Devon in THE UNDEAD (1957). Dresses in lots of black. Check. Pointy black beard. Check. Pointy ears. Check. Manic unnecessary laughter. Check. Sceptre/pitchfork not in boot. Check. Appearance in a sudden burst of flame. Yeaaah check. Rubbish Shakespearean dialogue. Yep. This Satan is the arch enemy of Heaven. Behold the subtle workings of his talents and pray he never turn his interests on you. HAhahahaHAhahahaHA... ha... Yeah...

Also Viggo Mortensen's fallen angel Lucifer in THE PROPHECY (1995), a far too posh Elizabeth Hurley in the remake of BEDAZZLED (2000), Mephisto in FAUST (1926), the giant Disney Satan in FANTASIA (1940), Mr Skin in HIGHWAY 61 (1991), Al Pacino in THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (1997), Walter Huston in THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER (1941), The Goat of Mentes in THE DEVIL RIDE'S OUT (1968), LSD Satan in ALTERED STATES (1980), Big Horned Tim Curry in LEGEND (1985), Jack Nicholson in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK (1987), Burgess Meredith in TORTURE GARDEN (1967), the Swearing Blonde Girl/Jesus Christ/Toga wearing Devil in SIMON OF THE DESERT (1965), Martin Scorsese's "homage" to Bunuel in LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST (1988), Mel Gibson's screaming Dario Argento like Devil in THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST (2004), a pair of yellow eyes and scaly paws in ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968), and Gabriel Byrne in END OF DAYS (1999).

RICH LIST #2a : Pictures of Some of the Femme Fatales

Gaby Rodgers in KISS ME DEADLY.

Carrie Fisher.

Linda Fiorentino.

Michelle Pfeiffer in BATMAN RETURNS.

Gene Tierney.

RICH LIST # 2 : Ten Femme Fatales

A list of ten femme fatales. All from different decades, genres and even countries. The one thing they all have in common is they're born to kill. And do so for money, occasionally love but mainly because they like it. As usual loads of plot spoilers.

1) Mona Demarkov (Lena Olin) in ROMEO IS BLEEDING (1994). Neo Noir meets tragicomedy directed by Peter Medak involving cops on the take, endless adultery, bungled hits, outrageous dream sequences and three possible femme fatales but only one real contender. Hey Mona. Ms Demarkov is the Russian assassin marked by the mob due to an unnecessarily violent (well not to Mona) hit. Gary Oldman (the adulterous cop on the take) is coerced into making that hit, but he's dealing with a woman who cannot be charmed, and is a hell of a lot smarter and crazier than him. The main points you need to know about her are this : she laughs when she's killing people, she attempts to strangle one of her victims with her legs, and is prepared to lose an arm to fake her own death. Oh and she's quite prepared to wear as little as possible when doing so. In a way Mona is the ' Uber Femme Fatale '. Her character takes all the qualities you'd expect from a femme fatale, but takes everything up to the next level.

2) Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner) in BODY HEAT (1981). Meet Matty Walker. She wants to kill her husband, and use the insurance pay out to be rich and live in an exotic land. She also prefers men who aren't too smart. Matty uses her body and her substantial sex appeal to lure and manipulate William Hurt's not too smart, morally corrupt lawyer into making that dream come true. She smokes cigarettes more confidently (hers stuck out, his flat). She dresses more confidently. She's richer and smarter and not a loser. Once she has him, she keeps on having him. He barely has a moment without her on top of him or with his dick in her hands. She's in control but he's too stupid to realise this or maybe just doesn't care. My favourite moment - she waits behind the locked door to her house, waiting with fevered anticipation for her hapless lover to smash his way into the house. He's just dumb.

3) Lily Carver/Gabrielle (Gaby Rodgers) in KISS ME DEADLY (1955). A sly duplicitous dame obsessed with money, and the 'great whatsit'. She first appears in the guise of Lily, room mate to the unfortunate Christina who is tortured and killed for information at the start of the film. Christina was on the run from unseen gangsters/commies/renegade scientists, and is picked up on a lonely highway by the tough as nails, thick as shit private eye Mike Hammer. Mike, looking for information himself after being dragged into this case, finds Lily at Christina's old flat and is fooled into believing those who killed Christina would be after Lily/Gabrielle too (you still with me?). Hammer finds out what everyone is looking for, gets hit on the head a lot, and Lily/Gabrielle (now just Gabrielle, the real Lily drowned) makes off with a box hidden in a locker by Christina. Now hiding out in a beach hut with the annoyingly pompous Dr Soberin, and the prospect of making off with a lot of money courtesy of the 'great whatsit' is too much for her so she kills the doctor (the mastermind behind the whole gruesome affair), and takes a peek inside the box. Wrong move.

4) Ellen Berent (Gene Tierney) in LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945). Motivated by jealousy, the vain and selfish Ellen Berent has driven her parents apart. Her unhealthy obsession with her own father pushes her mother away and sends him off to an early grave. She then breaks her fiance's heart (you can't do that to poor Vincent Price), and drags the startled Richard Harland (Cornel Wilde) off to the altar. All because Richard, a successful novelist, bears a passing resemblance to her father (uh oh). Ellen's obsessive behaviour worsens as she develops a problem first with her husband's disabled brother, then her sister and finally even their unborn son. Even death doesn't stop her.

5) The Mystery Woman (Carrie Fisher) in THE BLUES BROTHERS (1980). Her true identity is unknown but she was stood up at the altar by 'Joliet' Jake Blues and for that he must die. Either by grenade launcher, flame thrower, machine gun fire or just about anything. Only trouble is he and his brother are impossible to kill. In each scene she appears with a different hairstyle and look perhaps to confuse, disguise or turn us on. Pigtails, ponytail, some times down but never like bread rolls stuck on either side of her head.

6) Debbie Jellinsky (Joan Cusack) in ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES (1993). The Addams Family need a new nanny to attend to their latest arrival Pubert, a baby with a moustache. They employ Debbie but Debbie is actually a 'black widow' serial husband killer who is looking for hubby no. 4 to maim. She takes a shine to Fester (brother to Gomez) and his enormous fortune, who interprets her attempts of murder (electrical surprises in the bath, a bomb in a box) as signs of affection (well, you would). Occasionally dances to the Village People with a bunch of sailors and the guy who plays 'Monk'. Not deterred by disembodied hands called 'Thing' as she's good with her hands. Oh and, if you have to blame it on any one, blame it all on Malibu Barbie.

7) Selina Kyle AKA Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) in BATMAN RETURNS (1992). Hello Selina. Secretary to the evil Max Schreck (Christopher Walken) whose plans to drain Gotham City's power supply are uncovered by Ms Kyle. He, of course, tries to kill her by flinging her from the top of his office building, but she lands on her feet and embarks on a course of robbery and terrorism to revenge herself on Schreck. She makes a leather costume, a costume she is practically sewn into, uses a whip, tries to eat a budgie, cleans herself with her tongue and even purrs. Oh and I think Batman might have been in this film somewhere too.

8) Christine Halslag (Renee Soutendijk) in THE FOURTH MAN (1983). Gerard Reve ( Jeroen Krabbe) is a bored, bisexual author whose fantasies of murder and interest in alcohol lead him to the world of Christine Halslag. Christine is a beautician and book groupie by day, dissatisfied with her lover Herman and intent on having an affair with Gerard, and fiendish man hating killer (well more murder loving) by night. But Gerard is more interested in Herman who he tries to warn when it becomes obvious of Christine's real motives - to find the fourth man, her fourth victim. Christine's too clever for either of them though. Paul Verhoeven, the great maverick Dutch director, would a few years later go on to Hollywood with a similar tale in BASIC INSTINCT. Not sure if Michael Douglas would be as happy as playing Jeroen Krabbe's role though (a few changes were made).

9) Kitty Collins (Ava Gardner) in THE KILLERS (1946). Kitty Collins - the role that made a star of Ava Gardner. It's easy to see why. She dominates the film. The last, lingering image you will have from this film will be of her in that black dress. Kitty is caught between two men Swede Anderson (Burt Lancaster), and gang leader Colfax whose plan to rob a payroll brings them all together. Swede is killed by 'The Killers' and an insurance investigator sets out to find out why and by whom. Kitty sings, wears black dresses, slouches provocatively on beds, and never really does anything too evil. But a femme fatale doesn't have too. Sometimes just looking THAT good is enough. And her looks and presence are certainly deadly for Swede, and typify the archetypal femme fatale (even if she is a good gal at heart).

10) Bridget Gregory (Linda Fiorentino) in THE LAST SEDUCTION (1994). Bridget the Queen of the Crop. Smarter than Matty. Deadlier than Ellen. And less reckless than Mona. Best of all like Matty she gets away with it too, and the guy she ruins - poor old Mike (Peter Berg) - is a good guy. But he's a guy with a shameful secret and one his macho, small town image cannot abide even if it does result in lots and lots of sex with Bridget. So he's doomed just like her drug dealing husband Clay (Bill Pullman) who she's stolen 700 grand from, and who tracks her down to Beston with loan sharks in tow. None of them stand a chance.

Honourable mention : Alida Valli in THE PARADINE CASE, Peggy Cummins in GUN CRAZY, Jane Greer in OUT OF THE PAST, Barbara Stanwyck in DOUBLE INDEMNITY, Ann Blyth in MILDRED PIERCE, Jessica Rabbit in WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, Jeanne Moreau in THE BRIDE WORE BLACK, Joan Bennett in SCARLET STREET, Hilary Swank in THE BLACK DHALIA , Patricia Arquette in LOST HIGHWAY, Nicole Kidman in MALICE, Theresa Russell in BLACK WIDOW, Sharon Stone in BASIC INSTINCT, Louise Brooks in PANDORA'S BOX, Marlene Dietrich in THE BLUE ANGEL, Rita Hayworth in GILDA , Mary Astor in THE MALTESE FALCON, Gene Tierney in LAURA, Glenn Close in FATAL ATTRACTION, Drew Barrymore in POISON IVY, Linda Fiorentino in GOTCHA, and all the assorted femme fatales of SIN CITY and THE SPIRIT.

RICH LIST # 1 : Ten "Non-Dracula" Vampires

A list of ten vampires. All "non Dracula". No Counts (almost). None are tall or Byronic, good looking types (almost). And no cliches (almost).

1) Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) in THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM (1988). Ken Russell's ridiculously enjoyable 1980s romp involving snake gods, various phallic symbols and Hugh Grant. By day Lady Sylv wears lots of leather, by night she curls up to sleep in a basket. The rest of the time she sports impossible fangs, blue skin, makes the occasional sacrifice to the giant snake god Dionin (who lives in the caves beneath her house), and castrates boy scouts. She also gets to fight Catherine Oxenberg while dressed as air stewardesses (well, it is a Ken Russell film). 2) Gorca (Boris Karloff) in Mario Bava's BLACK SABBATH aka I TRE VOLTI DELLA PAURA (1963). Based on the Russian short story by Aleksey Tolstoy (Leo's cousin), The Wurdalak is a gothic horror masterpiece, and one of three different stories that make up Bava's masterful take on the portmanteau film. Gorca is the wurdalak of the piece, a strong patriarchal father and grandfather driven to return to his family and kill each of them. After 5 long days hunting the cossack wurdalak who has been terrorizing the village, Gorca returns and begins to work his way through his terrified loved ones. With his dog howling incessantly, his dishevelled corpse like appearance, and the mortal wound to his chest you'd think they would be more careful. They're not.

3) Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) in FRIGHT NIGHT (1985). In the 1980s if you weren't a punk/metal/goth vampire then you were a suave, bouffant bonced disco dandy (yes even in 1985). A natural progression I guess for the Byronic (er... Dracula) like figure of the vampire. Jerry's the best though. He's a mean good looking bastard who will snap you in two, break into your house and beat the shit out of you, kill your friends (well the annoying ones anyway) and seduce your girlfriend, if you look at him funny. And he can turn into a big fuck off evil bat creature too (seven years before Mr Coppola).

4) Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) in SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE (2000). A rare take on the perils and pitfalls of film making, and in this case the very real sacrifices that are needed to define the mad artistic vision of the great 1920s German director F.W. Murnau. Kind of a "print the legend" yarn with Murnau (played by John Malkovich) as a barking mad genius compelled to complete his film by any means possible. So employing a real life vampire to play your Count (Dracula but not Dracula), and promising them the neck of your leading actress, seems almost a reasonable thing to do. You would be forgiven for thinking it's all true especially when you compare Dafoe's performance to the original Schreck in NOSFERATU. Scarily similar.

5) Those creepy bastard evil floating children Ralphie and Danny Glick in SALEM'S LOT (1979). Based on the 1975 Stephen King novel, this TV mini series (in this list because I say so) avoids the traditional depiction of tall, dark and heavily accented vampires and goes for the ratlike, ghoulish take of Nosferatu for its main threat. But that's not my pick. No instead it's the kids that get infected and are seen floating eerily (is there any other way of floating if you're undead?) outside bedroom windows. Tapping their nails on the glass, surrounded by fog, with a cold malevolent smile on their dead dead faces, and being all round unsettling little fuckers.

6) Emily (Mariclare Costello) in LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH (1971). Is she a ghost or a vampire? Is she even real? A question never really answered and not needing to be in this early 1970s independent horror classic (an almost one shot from director John Hancock). Emily starts off as just another no good hippie squatting in the house of Jessica (Zohra Lampert) and her husband. But soon her portentous graveyard appearances and weird singing give way to underwater hauntings and disfigured hostile locals. Or is it all in Jessica's mind?

7) A gang of ne'er do wells led by US Civil war vet Jessie Hooker (Lance Henrickson), his girlfriend Diamondback (Jenette Goldstein), a psychotic cowboy in leather called Severen (Bill Paxton), a man stuck in a child's body Homer (Joshua Miller), and the gorgeous Mae (Jenny Wright) looking for love in NEAR DARK (1987). The best gang of vamps in film especially in the 80s (sorry Lost Boys). Crazed, psychotic truckers killers who get a kick out of Russian roulette and being set on fire.

8) Santanico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek) in FROM DUSK TIL DAWN (1996). A beautiful Mexican exotic dancer who performs with a snake, a mean look and a mariachi band at the Titty Twister - the roadside bar just outside hell for truckers and soon to be ex truckers. Never bleed in front of her (even if it's just a little prick), especially if you're Quentin Tarantino. Slightly less attractive when transformed into a half snake vampire creature herself. Easily the most fun you'll have in 90s vampire cinema (sorry Mr Coppola).

9) Countess Elizabeth Bathory (Delphine Seyrig) in DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS aka LES LEVRES ROUGES (1970). All sensible Hungarian countesses travel by night and with gorgeous Louise Brooks lookalikes (Andrea Rau) as their secretaries (I know I do). Never a good idea to go on holiday to a remote seaside hotel resort in Belgium, especially out of season though (bit boring). But extra points if you have endless conversations about death and sadism, and wear thigh high leather boots and a fur coat.

10) And finally the most recent and arguably best is Eli (Lina Leandersson) from LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008). An achingly beautiful film about friendship, loyalty, loneliness, family breakdown and the symbiotic relationship of human and vampire, dead and living. Oh, and it's got some kick ass ninja cats and lots of blood too. Eli is in the tradition of child vampires. Stranded in prepubescence, quietly tormented by her plight but a wolf in sheep's clothing able to use it to her advantage. Great twist on the " what happens if you come in when you're not invited " lore too.

Honourable mention : The Not Dracula vampire played by the real Max Schreck in NOSFERATU (1922), the naked alien vampire in LIFEFORCE (1985), the strange green vampire in QUEEN OF BLOOD (1966), the prosphetic enhanced armpit vampire of RABID (1977), the ambiguous Japanese gender vampire of VAMPIRE MOTH aka KYUKETSUKI-GA (1956), the Chinese hopping vampires of MR VAMPIRE aka GEUNGSI SINSANG (1985), the Mexican count vampire in EL VAMPIRO (1957), the " I Can't believe it's not a vampire but a Giant Moth thing " in THE BLOOD BEAST TERROR (1968), the confused "real" vampire in MARTIN (1977), the scythe wielding Brigitte Lahaie in FASCINATION (1979), and Carmilla in Roger Vadim's beautiful BLOOD AND ROSES (1960).
