  1. Been looking forward to this day. A whole day dedicated to one of my favorite, very underrated horror directors of all time.

    JEAN ROLLIN THROUGH THE DECADES!

    THE RAPE OF THE VAMPIRE (1968, Blu-ray).
    Also streaming on YouTube>streaming on YouTube.

    Wish Rollin had done more B&W films.

    1. 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.

    2. 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. ✌️😁

    1. 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.

    2. It's still laughably cheap for a horror flick, but for Rollin cinema it and "Zombie Lake" feel like "World War Z." 😷🥲
