The Bare Breasted Countess Wed, Sep 30, 6:45 PM
The screen action, such as it is, is a pas de deux between Lina Romay's Countess Irina Karlstein, a vampire who extracts the love juice of her victims, and Franco regular Jack Taylor's Baron von Rathony, who feels imperceptibly drawn to the Countess until they are finally together in the most intimate way possible. Structured as a surreal tone poem accompanied by the unforgettable music of Daniel White, this is a film like no other.

Dr. Heiter decides to evolve his craft by sewing together living beings together at the "mucous-cutaneous zone" (guess) in order to create Siamese triplets with a single digestive system.
