New Horror Movies Ep. 139: Dead Man Still Walking – I Drink Your Blood (1971) – and – I Eat Your Skin (1971)

Posted by & filed under Dead Man Still Walking, Podcast Episodes.

OK, “Gentle Listeners,” Dr. Walking Dead has shown up for work for us with this week’s special double-feature show. In this 49th Edition of DEAD MAN STILL WALKING, your intrepid professor, Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, graciously took at least one cinematic bullet for the listeners, metaphorically speaking… The two movies that Dr. Bishop examines during this episode include the 1970s odd couple of double features, I Drink Your Blood (1971) and I Eat Your Skin (1971) — the latter, a G-rated, black-and-white movie that was actually produced in 1964. Dr. Bishop brings his usual astute analysis to these proceedings, informing us of actual onscreen murder of an animal, and therefore, which instance(s) of blood in the film is real blood. And speaking of blood, we learn about meat pies being injected with infected, rabid dog blood, thereby constituting a very early example of “the infected zombie” narrative. And Kyle even goes so far as to tell us about a Horror movie where the evil characters “treat people poorly.” And that’s only his notes on the first film! Wait until you hear what he has to say about the second! Join us!
