THE SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES (1970)
I'm watching the Redemption/Image DVD now and checking it with the Something Weird video of the English-dubbed, "Harry Novak Presents" THRILL OF THE VAMPIRES. Some interesting differences have cropped...

I prefer the soundtrack mix in the fullscreen version I have. The opening credit cues are really memorable. The IMAGE cues are good but not as good. Also, the IMAGE disc presents the precredit...

Oddly, the full screen THRILL version I have from Something Weird has more information at top and bottom and on the sides. The music is the same as the Image presentation, so I assume you have some...

You gotta give props to Mark at Shocking Images for posting this hilarious photo on his Rollin site! I love it, nothin' like a wise artful auteur stickin' it to tha man!

I'd like to know the story behind this photo. Rollin doesn't look too happy, as if he can't make it up the steps and someone is rushing him....Mirek

I was speaking of the Spanish language version. It has Rollin's original score, by Group Acanthus, before it was rescored with alternate cues. If what Mirek is observing is correct, then the IMAGE...

Mirek,if you say that IS Sandra Julien,that's good enough for me.I may have seen THRILL 6 or 7 times,but always under the influence of something or other,so any judgement made could be a little...

I can't be 100% certain it is Julien because of the murky picture quality, but I think Rollin's interview makes it clear that extra scenes were shot in France for this film. The possibility still...

Bob, is there an alternate Spanish soundtrack to this film? I had no clue about that. All the versions of the film that I have share the same soundtrack, and the compilation CD released a few years...

It's extremely possible this film was shot open matte, but during its commercial run in theaters it would have been matted to 1.66:1 (the European widescreen standard) or even a wider ratio. Also,...

Yes, the film was probably shot open matte and then framed. I'm not sure, however, how on-hands Rollin's involvement was in the Redemption releases. According to Marc Morris' liners: "The master for...

Thanks for taking the time to describe these scenes, Mirek. They reminded me of the inserted dungeon sequence in "Requiem For A Vampire" which is actually on Redemption's R1 DVD but was not part of...

Redemption did the matting and the film was shot open matte. Ideally it would be presented full frame but I'm sure they thought that it would cause complaints from people who expect everthing to be...
View ArticleRe: THE SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES (1970)
Yes, Bob, you are correct. But if I'm not mistaken Rollin was "forced" to shoot and include this sequence in the film. It certainly is too long and doesn't really fit nor benefit the final product in...

I remember a while ago that VSOM was the "official" provider of Rollin films for the US.Howard Vernon, the board user, is also a Jean Rollin friend and apparently Mr. Gentil was never paid for this,...

Does anyone know if the Spanish DVD has the alternate cues mentioned above or if its a new dub.

Check out the Eurotica thread for some information on another Sandra Julien movie.

I have a question for all the Rollin experts who frequent this board. In my collection I currently have:1. The older Image DVD of SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES2. The newer deluxe Encore DVD of LE FRISSON DES...
View ArticleRe: THE SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES (1970)
I would definitely keep them. The SW tape has some softcore inserts that do not appear on the Encore disc (and vice versa.) And in all likelihood your Spanish dub has music not heard elsewhere.

Does the Spanish DVD have that alternate music score?
