Pitts’ Pendulum Has Stopped

Ingrid Pitt, a relic from the days when movie vampires and vampire lovers were hot and frequently topless instead of whiny and angsty, has died at the age of 73. Having survived a concentration camp during World War II, the fangs for the mammaries style of thriller that Hammer Films specialized in during the 1970s was child’s play, and she plied her wares in The Vampire Lovers, Countess Dracula and The House That Dripped Blood.
