Horror-of-the-blood-monsters-1970

A plague of vampires attack Earth and a group of scientists travel to the planet of origin to learn more about them.

Background[]

In 1970, Al Adamson thought he could make money off an obscure 1956 Philippines movie called Tagani, which involved vampire cavemen. It had one major problem: it was in black and white. Adamson's solution was to shoot new footage and edit in parts from other films like One Million Years B.C., The Wizard of Mars, and War of the Satellites, do major edits on the audio track, and use colored filters over the black and white material explaining it as the result of "strange chromatic radiation" that "turned the air and everything in it into a one colored mass of yellow, green, blue, or blood red".[1]
