A hell of a triple bill

45 years ago today, some Columbus drive-ins were serving up what sounds like a fun triple horror film bill: 1) The Demons from 1973 was a piece of "nunsploitation," sold as Jess Franco's take on Ken Russell's The Devils; 2) The Devil's Wedding Night from1973 was a Countess Bathory story, with a wicked woman bathing in the blood of virgins and so on; 3) The Devil's Bride from 1969 (the American title of The Devil Rides Out) was a Hammer film about "white" magicians battling Satanists. Sorry for the poor quality, but it sounds like quite a bill. The only one I've seen so far is Devil's Bride which is quite good (as is the Dennis Wheatley novel it's based on).
