"What is America? What is it made of? Pimps, prostitutes, religious fanatics! They're the scum of the earth!" proclaims a shrieking vampire -- apparently Queen Elizabeth I herself -- in ANDY MILLIGAN's odd and eccentric The Body Beneath. Worried that his family's "bloodline is deteriorating," prissy preacher Algernon Ford, a centuries-old bloodsucker with an uppity attitude (and played by GAVIN REED as a sort of bargain-basement Ernest Thesiger), returns to England, rents Carfax Abbey (wink, wink), and wipes out his remaining ancestors with the help of three green-faced vampire gals in chiffon dresses. Using one descendant as the main course of a vampire banquet ("Delightful meal! How old was she?"), and another as a potential breeder for a vampire baby, Reverend Al still finds time to have knitting needles plunged into a maid's eyes, and a hunchback set on fire. But at the family reunion, he abruptly changes his mind, chucks the whole baby-breeding scheme, and decides everyone should move to sunny California... - Something Weird
