The Wicked

34. THE WICKED
(OUTBACK VAMPIRES)

Their appetite for blood is insatiable

Released: 1987
Director: Colin Eggleston (Innocent Prey, Sky Pirates).
Starring: Brett Climo, John Doyle, Richard Morgan, Angela Kennedy and Maggie Blinco.

 

The synopsis goes something like this ...

In the town of Yarralumis, the Prince of Darkness, Sir Alfred Terminus (Doyle) and his family reign supreme, and their taste for 'new blood' is insatiable. When three strangers stumble into town, hospitality is immediately extended and they are invited to dinner - only to discover that they are the main course!

Something to sink your teeth into ...

Known as The Wicked in the US, it matches Australia's attempt to make a werewolf film in the late '80s - The Howling 3: The Marsupials (1987). Writer-director Eggleston cut his teeth helming episodes of TV shows, and didn't have much success when moving into film. Doyle, who plays the main villain, is better known in Australia as Rampaging Roy Slaven, of revered comedic due Roy and HG. Playing Alfred Terminus wouldn't be one of the highlights of his entertainment career. The American distributors couldn't even get one of the stars' name right on the poster. It's Climo, not Cumo. Then again, he might prefer it that way.
