	Classic-Horror Review of The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
		Except in Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers, the vampire is gay, the "damsel" is also the ostensible hero (and male), and the chase sequence involves slick floors that cause both pursuer and pursued to slide crazily as they run.
		Toss in a Jewish vampire who chuckles when a crucifix is brandished at him ("Oy, hev you got the wrong vempire!") and you have enough of the right ingredients that any semi-competent director could toss together a nutty caper with laughs every other minute.
		Fearless Vampire Killers is set in winter, and the mise-en-scene reflects the cold, chapped nature of the weather and creates a feeling of being trapped in wide open plains.

	www.Vampire-World.com - "The fearless Vampire Killers", Roman Polanski, 1966
		The next day, when the vampires are sleeping peacefully in their coffins, Abronsius and Alfred try to make an end to their foul work by means of a wooden peg.
		Murnaus "Nosferatu" probably is the most uncanny and Coppolas "Dracula" the most splendid movie of the genre; "The fearless vampire Killers" is without doubt the funniest one.
		Meanwhile "The fearless vampire killers" has been shown on TV innumerable times, and should be one of the most popular vampire movies ever.

		As the vampires hold an annual ball at which they will feast on a number of locals, the professor and his protégée manage to make off with one of the victims and successfully flee into the night pursued by a hunchback sledding in a coffin.
		In one scene the vampire killers and the woman they are trying to rescue are leading a dance at the ball.
		TFVK is one of my favorite vampire flicks; i put it right up there with BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA and DRACULA 1979 (featuring Frank Langella).Polanksi plays the bumbling assistant of a dotty old vampire killer.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (1967)
		The terrible fate that befell Tate (FVK was made just before she and Polanski were married) puts a completely different slant on the scenes she appears in.
		The sets look wonderful, especially during the brilliantly staged "vampires ball" (the UK title is DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES) and the scene when the music stops and only three people are visible in a huge mirror is a real tour de force.
		There are none of the usual heroics here, just two hopeless would-be vampire killers, and all in all the movie is far superior to the majority of vampire flicks.

		The European version is titled Dance of the Vampires but is otherwise identical to the "director's cut" issued by MGM on cassette and laser disc in the 1990s.
		As far as I'm concerned, THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS is one of the best vampire films and certainly the best horror-comedy ever made; the sooner it's released on DVD, the better.
		For the record, the full title of the US version reads: The Fearless Vampire Killers, or: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck.

	Poor mix of humor, scares in 'Fearless Vampire Killers' (printable version)
		Vampire mythology offers countless opportunities for laughs, but filmmakers rarely find them.
		Even Roman Polanski failed in the 1966 horror-comedy “The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me, but Your Teeth Are in My Neck” about a scientist (Jack MacGowran) and his assistant (Polanski) who infiltrate the castle of a powerful vampire (Ferdy Mayne) and try to rescue his latest victim (Sharon Tate).
		The latter is funnier than “The Fearless Vampire Killers” itself, but that’s not saying much.

		I expected Polanski’s “Fearless Vampire Killers” to be in the vein of the Morrissey horror films.
		It was a predictable ‘rescue the girl from the vampire’, but lack of originality wasn’t the problem.

		Vampires, for example, are creepy because they remind us of what it's like to catch a venereal disease.
		The story follows Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran), vampire hunter and elderly, eccentric kook, and his meek assistant Alfred (Polanski) as they trail kidnapped village girl Sarah (Sharon Tate) to the castle of Count Von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne), himself a vampire about to host an annual blood-sucker's ball.
		Vampires, like other Polanski antagonists, in Rosemary's Baby, Macbeth, Chinatown, are madmen hell-bent on stamping out a part of humanity and remaking the world.

	The Fearless Vampire Killers
		The resulting movie, The Fearless Vampire Killers/Dance of the Vampires, enjoys a reputation in some circles to rival that of Young Frankenstein, but to my way of thinking is not nearly as effective a parody.
		The Fearless Vampire Killers certainly looks the part— watch a randomly selected clip with the sound off, and you’ll be hard pressed to tell whether it came from this movie or Kiss of the Vampire— but it comes up short in one immeasurably important respect: apart from a few scattered moments, it just isn’t funny.
		But the comedic pacing of The Fearless Vampire Killers— it’s jokes-to-time ratio, if you will— isn’t nearly frantic enough for it to function as a farce, while the Hammer trappings are laid on so thickly as to leave the audience little choice but to interpret the film as satire.

	The Fearless Vampire Killers - Movie Review
		The best of these, 1967’s The Fearless Vampire Killers (known outside the U.S. as Dance of the Vampires, and the basis of a recent, successful, European stage musical), is newly available on DVD.
		The Fearless Vampire Killers has the bright, cheap look of the kind of Hammer horror films that were produced in abundance in its day, and a tone that’s marvelously balanced between garish horror and broad, neck-breaking comedy.
		The Fearless Vampire Killers was Polanski’s first big-budget feature, and it was saddled with its terrible title (The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck in full) by a nervous studio for its American release.

		After meeting the voluptuous Sarah (Sharon Tate), the daughter of the innkeeper (Alfie Bass), the young assistant is smitten, and, in true Polanski vision, becomes mildly obsessed and voyeuristic.
		While on their hunt, Alfred witnesses Jewish vampire Count von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne) attack the comely maiden in her bubble bath, and whisk her away to his castle.
		For instance, in one scene, a young woman is bitten on the throat while bathing, and the scene slowly escalates before finally climaxing in an ejaculation of soapy water.

		Originally known in its native U.K. as DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES, the U.S. version was shortened, some of the voices were re-dubbed, an animated prologue was tacked on to the opening, and the title was changed to what we best know it as today.

		But sadly the two have no idea where to start really, or how to go about the job and as such they are less than successful in their quest and actually play into the vampire’s hands, who now plans to make them part of his feast as well.
		Warner Home Video took a long time to bring "The Fearless Vampire Killers" to DVD and as such it is a bit disappointing that the transfer has not undergone any sort of restorative effort.
		It serves the film very well and although the frequency response is audibly limited at times, it is never distracting and adds to the vintage gothic atmosphere of the film placing it squarely in the pantheon of great classic horror movies.

		Another one of my favorite sequences is when the Count and his son are preparing to retire to their ornate coffins prior to the sun rising, aided by their hunchbacked manservant Koukol.
		Koukol, seeing this as an affront to his masters, proceeds to unceremoniously drag the coffin, which Shagal is now sitting in, down to the stables, as that's a seemingly more appropriate setting from someone of his class, with Shagal weakly protesting the entire way.

		Fearless Vampire Killers is painful to watch the first time.
		Polanski has the dubious distinction of introducing the first Jewish vampire and the first gay (male) vampire, both for laughs, and for good measure there’s a hunchback who is a study in grotesque.
		Her cascade of red hair set against the grey stone and white snow is like a warm fire on a miserable night.
