Anyone recall this Corman classic (no, not the Traci Lords remake)? If so, has anyone heard anything at all regarding a re-release of the film on DVD? I have looked for it for years now and never find as much as a mention of the film in any format. I'd probably settle for a bootleg as a temporary measure.

This one scared the bejeezus out of me when I was a kid. Those flying vampire head-thingies...cool!

      Cool! Thanks! I just ordered it. Dunno why I have never stumbled across that site but you can be sure that I'll be a regular. Ever ordered from them? If so, how's the quality?

      Thanks again.

        Have you ever ordered anything from Sinister Cinema? Pretty much the same in terms of quality. Most of these are not pristine prints but they are very watchable and it's always great to see these old treasures. I wish they were about $5 cheaper in price per DVD; but they don't charge S/H so it's not too bad when you only order one or two DVDs at a time.

          Yeah, Sinister is another favorite of mine for DVD's. They have a lot more exploitation/sexploitation which is cool.

          Seems a number of clever entrepeneurs have discovered that there's gold in them thar' hills and have decided to dig for the obscure goodies that make my heart race.

          Man, I love movies! The badder, the better!
