As a way to learn about new books and movies I have not seen or heard of, please post the titles of books and movies that most people have NOT heard of. I am looking for the box-office bombs, the Independent masterpieces nobody talks about, and books that are incredible, but just fell through the cracks.

Thank you!

Title: Dawn of the Vampire
Author: William Hill

Ah, “Dawn of the Vampire”—a title that immediately conjures images of moonlit crypts, ancient curses, and perhaps a touch of Gothic romance. 🌕🦇

Saved! Thank you Cadrewolf!

I'll add "The Auctioneer" by Joan Sampson, an utterly terrifying horror novel about an evil man who is able to dominate an entire town by manipulating them. Stephen King admits he basically stole his idea for "Needful Things" from this book. Unfortunately, Sampson died shortly after this brilliant novel was published.

Book of the Dead by John Tigges

It lay hidden for eons. The solid-gold pages bound by rich leather waited patiently to trap one man as a pawn in unspeakable horror. Deceived by the book's beauty, the victim would find out too late that the price of the book was death.

I have a copy of that in paperback, I'm pretty sure!

I will add anything by Author Ruby Jean Jensen. She's utterly outstanding, and it's sad her paperbacks are completely out-of-print now, and sell for a small fortune on EBAY.

Two Orphan Vampires movie (US Limited Edition 4K UHD)

Director: Jean Rollin

Cast: Alexandra Pic, Isabelle Teboul, Natalie Perrey, Brigitte Lahaie, Tina Aumont

Originally released in 1997, Two Orphan Vampires (Les Deux orphelines vampires) finds Jean Rollin, the master of the fantastique, returning to the vampire genre with which he had made his name.

By day, blind orphans Henriette and Louise seem to be the picture of innocence. But when darkness falls, their sight returns, and they wander the streets of Paris, encountering the city’s strange nocturnal denizens, and leaving a trail of corpses in their quest for fresh blood.

>Thank you! I believe Jean Rollin was very active in the gothic-horror genre in the 1970s, right? He directed that film about the teenagers unable to escape a graveyard.

Today I'll add this absolute masterpiece nobody talks about. "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" (1971) D: John Hancock. Empowered by a beautiful score, creepy atmosphere and an insane performance by Zohra Lampert. After being released from an institution after a mental breakdown, this gem finds Jessica moving with her husband (and friend) to a countryside home in Connecticut, only to be terrorized by vampires, spirits, and doppelgangers.
