Lair of the White Worm Pt2

As I mentioned in the previous post, Lair of the White Worm contains one of my all-time favorite barefoot bondage scenes.

But the movie itself, directed by Ken Russell, is very good overall.

It's based on the novel of the same name by Bram Stoker, who also wrote the original Dracula novel, thus giving us the famous vampire lord of horror fiction.

Bram Stoker, in addition to being a novelist, was also a theatrical agent for Sir Henry Irving, a famous stage actor back in the late 19th cenutry.

Stoker also wrote The Jewel of the Seven Stars, which was a mummy story. There are elements of archaeology in Lair, as well. Stoker must have had a fascination with it.

The Jewel of the Seven Stars was later turned into Blood From the Mummy's Tomb by Hammer films.

That's enough of the Halloween trivia for now. You can see this wonderful scene from Lair of the White Worm right here.
