The Blood Spattered Bride (1972): No Rules November!
Wednesday Nov 02, 2022
Wednesday Nov 02, 2022
For one month each year, we break our rule of the films we cover needing to have fewer than 1K views on Letterboxd. To kick things off, Erica picked another Spanish horror film, this one being one of many adapted from the Carmilla novella. We enter a world where men have no names, where snorkeling takes place in the sand, and where women reign supreme.
