The first time I watched The Lair of the White Worm, it was with a friend in college who was a huge cult movie fan.

She insisted that the best way to watch it was to keep a running tally of all the phallic symbols in the movie -- and she was absolutely right.

If you haven't seen it before, it's a great film to watch with friends, and it includes impossibly young Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi, plus Amanda Donohoe at her campy-sexy best. In the US it's available to stream for free in several places at the moment. (In other regions your luck may vary.)

@AdaraAstin The band in the movie playing the title(ish) track (I'll just say that, to avoid any spoilers) is called The Tossers, and they're worth looking up

@AdaraAstin More spoilers - they didn't write it. It's a real (mythic ) thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambton_Worm

@drawnonglass Yes! And there's a layer of Bram Stoker there in the middle, too.

And should win an award for the most gratuitous drum kit.

@rdm @AdaraAstin Best use of a gratuitous drum kit, too!

@AdaraAstin This movie is enormously funny. The scene where a kilt-clad Peter Capaldi lures the vampires away using bagpipes? That alone is worth the price of admission, but there's so much more.

@mrmoniker I agree! I love it deeply and I haven't seen it in far too long.
