**Martin** was a 1977 George Romero written-and-directed movie about a young man (played by John Amplas) who claims to be an 84 year old vampire; lacking fangs, he resorts to razor blades to get blood from his victims. On the first day of shooting, Amplas wore plastic vampire fangs as a joke. When he went to “bite” Christine Forrest on the neck, she reared up and socked him in the nose with the back of her head, starting a gusher of crimson. This caused the fangs to tear open his upper lip and all the spattered blood prompted an episode of vomiting his Chicken Parmesan lunch all over the floor. Then he fainted. Tom Savini was green for three whole minutes, but that might have been the make-up he was testing. ---
