The Artus DVD, Part 3

We now move to the tavern. It is filled with villagers, people drinking, carousing, dancing. Which brings us to a common feature of these Sadeian films: some women are shown wearing decolletage that hovers on showing more, but, in BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE, this is as far as it goes. The next film, JACK THE RIPPER, will show more in the Continental version.

Carl enters the tavern. When people notice it's him, the atmosphere changes immediately. The music and the revelry die.

One asks just what is Carl's affliction? Some parts of his body indicate stroke, but there is pronounced hair on his hand and the bridge between his eyebrows. One eye is completely bulging out, almost dropping. There's a large facial scar, and a jutting jaw and puffed-up face on that side. These suggest that Carl was born partially damaged at first, and that the people he met have increased his physical severity to made him a monster in human form. His rebellion was to hate people and almost a sexual desire to abuse a woman's beauty. He is the perfect assistant to someone unscrupulous and unfeeling toward humanity.

Carl goes to the back of the tavern, frightening people by his presence, and stops by the doctor that he wishes to go with him.
