LEGEND OF HORROR (1972) Williams Bates, Karin Field, Fawn Silver. When Legend of Horror came out in 1972, it incorporated a 1960 South American version of “The Telltale Heart” along with about forty minutes of new footage with American actors, expanding the original Poe story significantly. There’s one cool scene with zombies in a graveyard! At any rate, the new footage serves as kind of a wrap-around for the original South American footage. And no…this is not like one of those Jerry Warren abominations. Legend of Horror is a surprisingly good film. 35mm. PLUS: THE DRACULA SAGA (1972) Tina Sainz, Tony Isbert. The last heir to the Draculas (who is pregnant) arrives at the castle of the infamous Count. Soon her husband is having flings with the Count’s “brides!” This movie has lots of sharp teeth and flowing blood. Rated “R” for frequent nudity, violence, and some occasional gore. Nice color, From 16mm.
