"Blood and Roses" is a film from the sixties and has good reviews for being relatively accurate to the novel. I think we should watch at least one Carmilla film, as it's a shorter, more clearly-written story and therefore is more easily adapted to film. Also, as it's shorter and better-written, we should drop Dracula and read it. It is available on the Gutenberg site.
"The Vampire Lovers" is another Carmilla movie, well respected it appears, and done by Hammer Film Productions, which is the studio which produced huge numbers of horror movies. They did Draculas, Frankensteins, everything, and lots of them. So, maybe we should watch this one.
