Only a luminous barbarian would link these two up - in the way that follows, too... surely?  READ ON...


Samantha Fox wants to wed her longtime girlfriend,  ladylove and paramour Myra Stratton -  and it has to evoke the doomed marriage of one  Sharon Tate and Roman the Fearless Vampire Killer  - for some reason ?!?

Okay - maybe I am extrapolating just a tiny wee bit here - but still the facts are that they want to do it IN THE COLD WEATHER (not that - THAT they've done all over the place, all over the globe, in every climate and season, I am sure!)

Aye - they dream of a SIBERIAN WEDDING...



That bit of odd news immediately made me think of the famous final scene of 1967's Fearless Vampire Killers movie - in which Sharon Tate, the damsel seemingly rescued by the (very) flawed hero portrayed by the film's director himself (Roman Polanski) reveals to be a bloodsucker too, in the snowy night while they flee purportedly to safety; and that is when she BITES HIM...!

Samantha only has the blondness of her hair that compares with Sharon - and Myra is no Vampira. But still... Siberian nuptials - what else does it evoke but THAT...?!?




(What makes it all the more eerie and spooky, all the while resonant with significance too, is that this became a very doomed marriage in real life too; she was the most famous victim of the sickening Manson Family murders and her blood was shed while she was pregnant. The woman who did crazed Charles Manson's bidding on that horrible night of 1969 showed no mercy - and actually felt proud to have killed both mother and son, effectively aborting the child in the most horrendous way imaginable. And that monstrous chap, Manson, lives to this day... But that is another story.)



Back to the 1967 classic FVK film then; although the movie ends there, one can imagine what happens next: once bitten by the vampiress, the virus spreads like wildfire through his system and he turns on his mentor (so brillantly played by Jack MacGowran) and certainly slays him without mercy too. Then, after turning on his best friend for this bloody bloodsucking harlot, he becomes just like her - a fierce bloodsucker without scruples (not a harlot!)




And, as the off-screen voice concludes at the end of the epic film, with a beautifully striking (as it is mysteriously mindnumbing too) snowy mountain backdrop, the couple of night creatures will spread that nefarious "disease" throughout Europe...




That sort of wedding night that you want to have, ladies? Go right ahead then - I'll skip the bachelorette party, I think! ⧬⧬


NOTA BENE:
As it is, the saddest of anniversaries was TWO DAYS AGO: on the ninth of August... It marked 40 years that Sharon Tate's and her unborn baby's gruesome deaths occurred. And a mere 48 hours later, I notice this rather trivial bit of news (nowadays, it is) about Fox and her Myra - and it makes me think of FVK instead... and the Lady Tate.
