Indie British comedy/horror
Cult DVD label The Weird World of Wibbell will release their new comedy horror film “The Vampires of Bloody Island” on February 1st.
“The Vampires of Bloody Island” is a comedy horror story which harks back to the style and nostalgia of the British Hammer vampire movies of the 1970’s. Filled to it’s rotting rafters with creepy comical characters and plenty of exploding vampires, it’s a laugh-packed send up of every vampire film you’ve ever loved.
“We’ve really taken the whole nostalgic Hammer Studios style of vampire film, with that charmingly English creepy feel, and piled on lashes of humour and special effects,” describes first time director Allin Kempthorne. “The result is a really funny film filled with creepy characters and stunning locations that people want to watch again and again!”
The low-budget independent British vampire comedy has been steadily building a network of over five thousand fans, eagerly following the adventures and missadventures of the films writers & stars, husband and wife team Allin Kempthorne and Pamela Kempthorne, in their very personal fortnightly newsletters.
“We’ve been through some pretty nerve-wracking times in getting this film finished and out on DVD,” says Allin, “And we’ve been describing every detail, whether humerous, hopeful or horror-filled, in our newsletters to the thousands of people who are following the film and our story. After each newsletter we send out we typically get over 100 emails back from readers who say they’re loving the optimism, child-like excitement, triumphs against adversity and the go-getting attitude and above all humour of our newsletters, and how much they’re really looking forward to seeing the film.”
