Ingrid Pitt in Countess Dracula (1971)

[bitter69uk]

Born on this day: Polish-British actress and Hammer Horror icon Ingrid Pitt (née Ingoushka Petrov, 21 November 1937 - 23 November 2010). If all Pitt ever did was The Vampire Lovers (1970) and Countess Dracula (1971), her cult status would be assured. As her obituary in The Guardian concluded, “She was able to imbue these vampire characters with every possible ounce of human feeling, as well as displaying a lustiness rare in British pictures, and a revealing cleavage.” Funnily enough, I just recently revisited The Wicker Man (1973) for the first times in years. Pitt’s supporting role is fleeting, and she barely speaks, and yet makes an indelible impression – a testament to her star charisma. Portrait of Pitt by Basil Gogos.

The Haunted Beauty collection featured a Vampire Barbie, and of course, vampires were heavily represented among the tie-in Barbies for the Twilight films.

Ken's little brother Tommy even dressed as a vampire for Halloween!

But among the dramatic Bob Mackie Barbies, there was a particularly striking contribution: Countess Dracula Barbie.

If you know much about Bob Mackie's design, you can see him all over this doll. The silhouette and the heavily embroidered gown make it look really up his alley.

And I love his work. You all know it.

With only 3200 dolls release, this was a particularly limited gold label release.

I will say that out of context, I don't know that I would pick her as a vampire or, for that matter, as a Dracula tie-in. Besides the casket shape to her box, there's not a lot vampiric/Dracula-esque about her.

She's still cool as hell.

Countess Dracula (1971) is not just a horror film but a study of desire and the price one has to pay for it.
