COB's Creepers #13 - Daughters of Darkness (Tuesday 10/10, 9pm) 🦇🦇🦇

[COB]

Hello and welcome back to COB's Creepers! This year we're starting with our thirteenth Creeper (unlucky for some ), 1971's vampiric melodrama Daughters of Darkness:

HOW TO WATCH
This film seems very hard to find via conventional means, not being available to stream or rent from the usual services. If you have trouble tracking it down, please let me know and I can try to direct you to an alternative method (also if I've missed a very obvious way of watching please let me know that too!).

UPDATE! Thanks to the wonderful @Haiku Rewrites for finding a streaming link from the European service Arte:

La vestale di Satana (1971) - ArteKino Classics | ARTE in italiano

Gli sposini Valerie e Stefan, innamoratissimi, stanno terminando la loro luna di miele. Il treno del loro viaggio di nozze deve però fermarsi nella città belga di Ostenda, dove la coppia alloggia in un vecchio albergo sulla costa. La sera stessa farà la sua comparsa l'appariscente contessa...

(No account needed, there are Italian subtitles on by default but they can be switched off, and you can cast the video from a mobile device to another screen from the video controls)

Please meet me here on TUESDAY EVENING (currently thinking 9pm but the time is negotiable) as blood, murder and scary sexy ladies descend upon the Belgian town of Ostend

 

[COB]

This is happening tomorrow evening! Who's going to be attending? If you have to source and download the film before tomorrow, this is the perfect night to do it!

 

[Lucille]

I shall be there!

 

[COB]

Hurrah! I'll also do a quick tag for @ButterTart @VoR @GNL @jivafox @Ellie @straightorbroken @Beverley @Raining on Me @Haiku Rewrites @Saltwater @Frozen and any other former Creepers participants I've missed (yes I went back through the old threads but got bored halfway through )

 

[ButterTart]

I'll be here!

 

[VoR]

I’ll be there! This one’s new to me…

 

[Ellie]

Unfortunately I can’t attend tomorrow, or next Tuesday, but I’d really appreciate a sneaky link to catch up a bit later

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I will try make it, just depends on what time I get home.

Found the full movie available by the way on the Arte streaming network btw. It's under it's Italian title but it is in English with Italian subtitles. You don't need to have an account on the website, just confirm a prompt and it works free.

I also enjoyed clicking translate to then click on it saying

Spoiler: this

 

[COB]

Just over an hour and a half to go!

 

[COB]

See you in an hour!

 

[COB]

This is your HALF HOUR WARNING - please prepare for horror and glamour.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm here and delighted that @Haiku Rewrites found a stream because I realised I had no idea where to watch it.

 

[Lucille]

Hi girls

 

[straightorbroken]

Okay: toilet, coffee.... 7 minutes to do 2 things, what could go wrong? I've got the tab open.

 

[COB]

Okay, get ready

 

[COB]

Go!

 

[COB]

A Belgian German French co-production

 

[straightorbroken]

Make love on a train, cross country.

 

[Lucille]

Obviously FABULOUS music as is to be expected of the GENRE!

 

[Lucille]

STRAIGHT INTO FUCKING!

 

[COB]

Starting off strong

 

[COB]

Oh yeah content warning for sex and violence sorry

 

[ButterTart]

Ooh, a bit of bonking to kick things off.

 

[ButterTart]

That was the most important and stunning incidental music I've ever heard.

 

[COB]

So much less glamorous with the lights on

 

[ButterTart]

Stefan is punching well above his weight here.

 

[COB]

Mother really will NOT approve.

 

[straightorbroken]

So I'm guessing Mother is a monster

 

[COB]

I really love how BLEAK Ostend looks here, I used to visit quite a bit with an ex and it's actually really quite nice!

 

[ButterTart]

Where is this GLAMOROUS RIVIERA?

 

[COB]

Where is this GLAMOROUS RIVIERA?

Just down the coast from ZEEBRUGGE

 

[Lucille]

Lovely LEATHER TRENCH

 

[ButterTart]

Michael Elphick as the concierge during your honeymoon in Ostend. That's how you know you've made it in life.

 

[COB]

Deceit already, they've only been married a few hours!

 

[Lucille]

I didn’t know Belgium HAD A COAST!

 

[ButterTart]

The subtle bribery when there's literally nobody around to witness it.
