Talk:I Drink Your Blood

Related to Charles Manson?
Why is this film on the list of media relating to Charles Manson? Sure, it was inspired by the Manson family, but so were a lot of other slasher movies. All the other movies, books, etc. on that list are directly related to the Manson family. Is there a direct connection between the two that I am not aware of?24.155.113.148 03:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Section removed from main article due to question of relevance
I removed this section as it seems to be a biography of one of the actors. It may be useful in the creation of an article about that person:


 * Bhaskar Roy Chowdhury


 * The film's lead actor, Bhaskar Roy Chowdhury was a famous dancer in his native India. He had moved to New York City and started his own dance company in the 1950s. Bhaskar starred in and choreographed the first Merchant/Ivory production, The Creation Of Woman, with Dino and Anjali Devi. Bhaskar maintained an active schedule of touring with several different partners and company members throughout the 1960's and 1970's. Anjali Devi, Shala Mattingly, Raja, Cindy, Carolyn Kay, and Candace Hibbard to name only a few. At the time of the accident in 1977, Bhaskar, Dances of India was booked for four solid years of touring when, On October 25, 1977, during rehearsal at Purdue University Theatre, he fell 36 feet from the stage into the orchestra pit, which left him permanently paraplegic. Bhaskar and Carolyn Kay were to perform a two-man show at Purdue, using only music, lights and costumes. There was no reason for the orchestra pit floor to have been lowered. The floor had been at stage level at the beginning of rehearsal. As the sound and lights were being set for the evening's performance, someone lowered the floor of the orchestra pit, Bhaskar stepped backwards to see the lighting, and fell; first onto his hands and feet, breaking his wrists, ankles, and snapping his spine, and then bounced up, landing for the second time on his back. He was on a foster frame at the Purdue hospital for several weeks, moving to the Rusk institute of Rehabilitation shortly before Christmas. At the Rusk institute, with the assistance of his two current partners, Carolyn kay and Candace Hibbard, Bhaskar choreographed a five-member company (Carolyn Kay, Candace hibbard, Homer Garza, Janet kaylo, and Ingrid Ross) to complete the booked engagements for the American tour in February of 1978. Bhaskar refused to perform from his wheeled chair, maintaining his artistic direction of the company for several years. As a choreographer, Bhaskar was very generous, encouraging all his dancers to perform and share his dances with others. Bhaskar wrote several books(not yet published) and produced some fine paintings before his decline in 2004. After a severe decline in health, he died on August 4, 2004.

Missing Information and Expansion
This article is way too short and is missing important information on the film's reception. This film is quite significant as is was influential to the exploitation film genre like The Toolbox Murders. As such more information needs to be added to the article, with information on the film's production, release, controversy and legacy added to the article. Information on the film's development, writing, and filming needs to be added to the film's production section as well. All of these changes and additions need to occuAr in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's standards of a well developed article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 23:17, 25 October 2015 (UTC) There is a significant amount of information on the film's production, and release featured in the book Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents by Stephen Thrower; ISBN: 1-903254-46-9. It is featured on pages 175-177, and details on the film's development, production, and release are found on pages 186-191. I will try and add information on the film's development but I will need someone else to add information on the film's production, casting, filming, and release since it's covers a lot of information and I am also working on expanding several other articles as well as me being busy with other things. Please let me know if anyone s willing to help expand this article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 15:45, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Production Information Forthcoming
Because of the film's significance to exploitation cinema and the fact that this article remains underdeveloped and improperly reference, I have decided to expand the article myself. I am currently working on writing information on the film's production so expect that information to be added soon. Anyone that is willing to add more information from different sources (I am using the book Nightmare USA which covers the film extensively) please let me know if you want to help- collaborate with me to help expand this article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 03:01, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
