My favorite Rollin is Lips of Blood. It has been a while since I watched The Iron Rose or Fascination, the ones that come closest to it. Both need a re-watch.
If your local library is subscribed to KANOPY (a free online streaming subscription service for educational institutions) most of Rollin's filmography can be streamed free of charge. 😃👍 What does education have to do with naked vampire chicks l don't know, but l approve. ✌️😁
I saw The Grapes of Death earlier in the month for the first time, maybe the last major Rollin I had not seen. It definitely is a good entry point to his kind of cinema.
Been looking forward to this day. A whole day dedicated to one of my favorite, very underrated horror directors of all time.
