004 Historical Comedy – Old
I wasn’t prepared for the deadpan horror humor of The Bognor Regis Vampire from
1979. An old-fashioned gaffer and his
stiff upper lip wife who live in Bognor Regis have their evening interrupted by
the unexpected arrival of an urbane and rather apologetic vampire named
Tompkinson who drains the blood of their butler Jarvis and affectionately eyes
their well-endowed maid Hilda. They give
him quite a generous offer, to become their new hired help, getting fed by a
local blood bank and living in the attic which has plenty of room for him to
fly around. He declines their offer, to
his peril. It was written by JCW Brook.
