MANEATER OF HYDRA Killer plant! – free on YouTube

‘Death stalking vegetation devours human blood!’

Maneater of Hydra is a 1967 sci-fi horror film about a mad scientist whose vampire plant is draining the blood from tourists.

Co-produced and directed by American expatriate Ernst von Theumer from a screenplay by Mel Welles (The Little Shop of Horrors; The She Beast; Lady Frankenstein). The production’s alternate titles include La Isla de la muerte, Le Baron vampire, Island of the Doomed and Bloodsuckers.

The Spanish-German co-production stars Cameron Mitchell, Elisa Montés, George Martin and Kai Fischer.

Plot:
On a remote island off the shore of an unidentified European country, an array of rich guests are being murdered, one by one, their bodies sucked dry. It transpires that they are being killed by a mad scientist Baron Von Weser (Cameron Mitchell) who loves earthworms and creates hybrid trees that feed on human blood…

“Even before the conclusion, the long buildup is sleazy. It could’ve been better, shorter, with more establishing shots of the island or of the count’s castle. But it’s pretty memorable as it is.” David Elroy Goldweber, Claws & Saucers book

“… crudely photographed and acted, and plays almost like a stereotyped whodunit, yet has a certain compulsion in the strange way the decadent, spoiled-rich characters behave, setting themselves up for the slurping green creepers and wriggling branches.” John Stanley, Creature Features
