The Blood Spattered Bride (Spanish: La Novia Ensangrentada translation: "The Bloody Bride") is a 1972 Spanish horror film written and directed by Vicente Aranda, based on the vampire story, "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. It stars Simon Andreu, Maribel Martin, and Alexandra Bastedo. The film attained cult film status for its mix of horror, vampirism, rejection of fascism, and progressive ideas on gender and sexuality. A well-known U.S. trailer advertising a double feature paired with the 1974 film I Dismember Mama was filmed in the style of a news report covering the "story" of an audience member who had gone insane while watching the films.
