Kim, do you remember a vampire film (70s?) where the baddie slashed a female character with a knife, and then another woman discovered the body in the shower? I've been trying to recall the movie. Scared me as a kid!

Sad to hear Canadian First Nations (Oneida) actor, Graham Greene, passed today. Best known for Dances with Wolves, he loomed large for me because of 2 films I watched over and over: Powwow Highway and Medicine River (a quirky TV comedy about basketball on a Blackfeet reservation in Alberta).
