| Twins of Evil | comment |
Twins of Evil is a 1971 Hammer Horror film directed by John Hough.The setting is vague but appears to be the later 16th century in Austria. Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing) is a Puritan (in Austria?) who leads around "the Brotherhood", a squad of fundamentalists that spend their leisure time burning witches. He is opposed in this by only two people. One is Anton Hoffer, brother to Ingrid Hoffer the headmistress of the local girls' school. Anton is a decent and gentlemanly fellow who disapproves of Gustav's habit of murdering young women.The other person against Gustav is Count Karnstein, the local lord. He happens to be even more evil than Gustav, being a depraved Satanist who is into the habit of sacrificing young women in black magic rituals. The blood from one of his unfortunate victims seeps down into the grave of Countess Mircalla Karnstein, a vampire. She promptly makes the Count into a vampire as well.Meanwhile, it turns out that Gustav Weil has identical twin nieces, Maria and Frieda Gellhorn (played by Real Life twins Mary and Madeleine Collinson). The gorgeous twins, newly orphaned after their parents (somehow) died, have come to live with Gustav. Maria, the innocent good twin, falls for handsome Anton. However Frieda, the fiery, pleasure-seeking Evil Twin, chafes under the stern hand of her Puritan uncle. She makes her way to Castle Karnstein and hooks up with the count.Part of the "Karnstein Trilogy", three Hammer films about the evil Karnstein vampires, following The Vampire Lovers and Lust for a Vampire. Continuity between the three films is pretty shaky: Peter Cushing appears in all three, but as three different characters. | |

Identical Twin Mistake | |
| Twins of Evil / int_246f70c6 | comment |
Identical Twin Mistake: Count Karnstein deliberately invokes this when he liberates Frieda from jail and puts Maria there in her place. Strangely, Maria doesn't say who she is even after the Brotherhood has tied her to a stake. It takes Anton, showing up at the last minute, to reveal the switcheroo and save Maria's life. | |

BlackAndGreyMorality | |
| Twins of Evil / int_588d766f | comment |
Black-and-Grey Morality: A very dark grey. The film's core conflict is between an utterly depraved vampire lord who holds with Satan, and a brotherhood of Knight Templar witch hunters who regularly burn innocents on their crusade against evil. Were their puritanical leader not a nuanced character and their enemies not actual evil monsters, they'd be the villains of the piece. | |

Spear Carrier: Despite having been the main character of the previous two films in the Karnstein Trilogy, this film somehow manages to turn Countess Mircalla (now played by Katja Wyeth) into this. She rises from her tomb, explains vampiredom, and turns the Count into a vampire before disappearing from the movie, as the Count makes Frieda into his vampire lover. | |

| Twins of Evil / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Frieda exhibits almost nothing but selfishness throughout the story, but at one point, when Maria asks her not to go out at night, Frieda says she has to. It is clearly implied that she means that if she stays she might be tempted to drink Maria's blood, meaning that deep down she still doesn't want to hurt her sister. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Twins of Evil / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Delayed in the case of the twins to show how difficult it is to tell them apart until you get to know them. The differences become apparent in their reaction to their uncle's disapproval of their outfits. Frieda protests they wore black for a full two months while Maria quietly apologizes and says they never meant any offense. Shortly afterwards Frieda shoots Gustav a Death Glare as he leaves while Maria lowers her head. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Twins of Evil / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Before the Twins even arrive in Karnstein or the Count accidentally raises Mircalla from the grave, at least three local men have been found dead at the hands of a vampire. This is the reason the Brotherhood are in such a heightened state of (sadly ignorant) murderous fury in the first place. We never find out who this vampire is, any more than we find out what happens to Mircalla after she turns the Count into a vampire. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| Twins of Evil / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: Like Bram Stoker's original Dracula but unlike most vampires since Nosferatu, these vampires have no problem walking around in sunlight. Also unlike most vampires, burning them has no effect; burning destroys a vampire's body but the vampire's soul can take over another body. Only beheading or a stake through the heart will do. Likewise these vampires only become so because they have dedicated themselves to Satan. Gertrude and Dietreich both serve Karnstein but because they are not as far gone as him, they die when Frieda bites them. This would suggest that Frieda, a teenage girl who only wants to get out of this tiny village and away from a cruel uncle is much more evil than a middle-aged pimp and procurer who serves an avowedly cruel and contemptible aristocrat, for money. That's a very 'debatable' moral compass there; one closer to that of the fanatical Brotherhood than is comfortable. The canon of vampire strengths and weaknesses passed on to Count Karnstein by his Undead relative may be, to put it kindly, a load of old tosh. Far from the Karnstein strain of vampirism being transmissible only to those with Satan in their hearts, it would appear from what we see on screen to be more along the lines of an unusually rapid mutagenic infection easily passed on with a bite. Everyone shown to become a vampire receives a single short nip, while all of the ones who don't transform only miss out because they're sucked dry before the transformation can take hold. Unlike the strain of vampires shown in Hammer's Dracula films, who transform after death into an Undead state, Karnstein strain vampires are still alive, only mutated. They - can - become Undead, as we see with Mircalla being resurrected from the grave by the blood of a sacrificed girl, but that's not how the Count and Frieda are turned. | |

Conceivably the misdirection about how and to who it is passed on is an example of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane mythmaking to ensure that subsequent Karnsteins don't cause the population of hungry bloodsuckers to explode and thus risk The Masquerade that has protected them for centuries. | |

Match Cut: From the flames rising up as the Brotherhood burns a "witch", to the flames in the Hoffer fireplace as Anton fumes about the crimes of the Brotherhood. | |

Fanservice Extra | |
| Twins of Evil / int_f6c3d469 | comment |
Fanservice Extra: Becomes Fan Disservice Extra. Count Karnstein's sidekick Dietrich arranges for a sexy girl, covered only in a sheet, to be put on the count's altar for a silly black mass ritual. Count Karnstein, who wants to summon Satan for real, dismisses Dietrich and then murders the poor young woman. | |

The Fundamentalist: Gustav would be a New England Puritan except for the fact that he doesn't live in New England. | |

Sudden Principled Stand | |
| Twins of Evil / int_f8a7ff7e | comment |
Sudden Principled Stand: Gustav's wife Katy, who has meekly said nothing while he leads the Brotherhood, stands up to him and tells him he'll have to Go Through Me when he decides that he's going to beat the devil out of the (entirely innocent) Maria. Fortunately, it leads to a Heel Realization moment on his part. | |

Lesbian Vampire | |
| Twins of Evil / int_f909b185 | comment |
Lesbian Vampire: Lesbian vampires were basically the whole point of the Karnstein trilogy, but in this third film it's only hinted at after being much more explicit in the first two. Count Karnstein gives a buxom young lady to Frieda for dinner, and Frieda bites her on the breast. Also, the twins share a bed. | |
