A Quick Look: QUEEN OF BLOOD (1966 - color)

   QUEEN OF BLOOD is representative of a subset of gothic horror space operas (more well-known examples would include PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES and LIFEFORCE, and some have made the case for the visually-neat-but-very-hollow-and-overlong ALIEN). In this one, the crew of a space ship must contend with the passenger they saved from a crashed alien ship -who just happens to be a vampire! One of those films that came about because producer Roger Corman had some effects sequences from a foreign epic. One of the first films I saw on laserdisc. John Saxon stars. Not bad horror/space opera antics worth a look if you're ever in it's path.
