Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: La Noche de Walpurgis (1971)

I kind of missed the actual Walpurgis Night by a week, but better late than never.

(Countess Wandesa Dárvula de Nadasdy and Genevieve Bennett, after she has been turned into a vampire.)

La Noche de Walpurgis, also known as “The Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman” is a 1971 Spanish horror movie generally credited with starting the Spanish horror boom of the 1970s. It also falls into the category of lesbian vampire movies.

The story is about two young women, who, while on the search for the grave of a medieval countess, meet a handsome but mysterious man who invites them to stay over. They accidentally revive the countess, turning her into a vampire, and it also turns out that their host is in fact a werewolf. One of the young women is seduced and turned by the vampire, the other starts an ill-advised affair with the werewolf. The two sides finally clash in a fight on Walpurgis Night.

The movie is the fifth in a series about the werewolf Waldemar Daninsky, but can be perfectly well enjoyed without you knowing that.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
