Programmer's Pick
Vampire Hookers doesn’t pretend to be anything but what it is: a saucy, sun-soaked mashup of sex, fangs, and slapstick. John Carradine presides over the proceedings with a knowing wink, while the film’s blend of bawdy humor and vampire antics keeps things breezy and outrageous.

Why Cult
The film’s central hook is its coven of female vampires luring men under the guise of prostitution, mixing eroticism with horror in a campy setting.
Horror legend John Carradine brings his signature gravitas and sly delivery to the role of the aged vampire master.
With bare chested bondage, menage a trois, and references to Shakespeare and Walt Whitman, the film leans hard into offbeat, psychotronic comedy.
Two Navy sailors out of their depth add a fish-out-of-water dynamic as they face off against supernatural seductresses.
