Next up in TCM’s double feature of horror comedies: Roman Polanski’s 1967 The Fearless Vampire Killers, a film that’s as much silent slapstick as atmospheric spookiness. Polanski has a supporting role, and Jack MacGowran stars as the vampire-hunting old professor – but the movie is stolen by young actress Sharon Tate. Two years later, as Polanski’s girlfriend, she was murdered – one of the victims of the gruesome slayings by the Charles Manson family in 1969.
