## Key points

- Tarantino’s top pick is *The Blood Spattered Bride*.
- Vicente Aranda directed the 1972 film.
- The cult film inspired a *Kill Bill* chapter title.

## Summary

Quentin Tarantino has named Vicente Aranda’s 1972 film *The Blood Spattered Bride* his favourite lesbian vampire film, calling it “hands-down” the best. His choice matters as a personal endorsement of a cult film within a niche subgenre that has a longer history and more entries than its label might suggest.

The film follows newlyweds whose honeymoon is disrupted by the bride’s visions of a centuries-old vampire, later appearing in person. Tarantino has described the film’s mounting tension as like a fuse leading to an unexpected explosion; its chapter title also inspired a section of *Kill Bill: Volume 1*. Other films in the subgenre mentioned include *Daughters of Darkness*, *Blood and Roses* and *Vampyros Lesbos*.
