Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia Presents Return of the Vampire Strikes Back arrives in amazing Blood-O-Vision, turning an old favorite into a whole new, eye-popping experience.
The Blood-O-Vision additive is, in actuality, a lurid red tinting of the would-be Dracula sequel, The Return of the Vampire, directed by Lew (The Raven '35) Landers and scripted by Griffin (Cry of the Werewolf) Jay and Randall (The Ghost Goes Wild) Faye. It stars, of course, the iconic Bela Lugosi in the role of mad scientist Armand Tesla (resurrected during the core of WWII) and Matt Willis as his verbose, lycanthrope accomplice, Andreas Obry.
Though produced in Britain by Sam (The Outer Limits) White, Return rolls like a Universal submission from the same period (e.g., Robert Siodmak's Son of Dracula). L. William (The Invisible Menace) McConnell's cinematography clinches this, oozing a moody texture that's all the more captivating soaked in blood red!
Mr. Lobo does his usual great job inserting spooky segments (commercials, trailers and an edifying, tombstone-prop presentation) to liven the undead proceedings. Dixie Dellamorto Lobo, as Babs from the front desk, and Miss Mittens are also on hand, in addition to Jesse Seeherman as Countess Bloodsuger, Shannon McCabe as the Reel 7 Girl and Mr. Lobo as his bigshot alter ego, Alan N. Smithee. This exemplary ensemble certainly gives the parasitic presentation extra bite.
