From The Blood Is the Life, published 2024

There’s a whole subgenre of great horror movies with stupid titles. Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971) is a first-rate psychological thriller with a paranormal twist. I Walked with a Zombie (1943) is the greatest zombie tale of the pre-Romero era. And 1970’s Taste the Blood of Dracula is the second-best film featuring Christopher Lee as the inimitable bloodsucker.
