400-419 Jean Rollin

[MichaelB]

The latest Rollin releases are The Iron Rose and Girls Without Shame (aka Schoolgirl Hitchhikers), and I've added cover artwork and specs to the first post in this thread as per usual.

happy to pick up both of these, particularly The Iron Rose as recommended to me up thread

I haven't quite gotten to any other Rollin titles just yet. I was without my 4K capable TV for a little while, but it's back now. will pick up again soon. the inside art for Night of the Hunted was rather traumatizing, though ...

I assume you’re referring to the scissors, and not Brigitte Lahaie.

yes, the scissors. that really didn't do well for me at all, now a bit terrified over watching the movie

You don't see any more than what's in the still, if that helps.

Newsletter clue is Zombie Lake, confirming Indicator's Rollin project will extend beyond the titles available to licence via Park Circus/Screenbound.

The likely spines:

400 The Rape of the Vampire
401 The Nude Vampire
402 The Shiver of the Vampires
403 Requiem for a Vampire
404 The Iron Rose
405 Schoolgirl Hitchhikers
406 The Demoniacs
407 Lips of Blood
408 Countess X
409 The Grapes of Death
410 Fascination
411 The Night of the Hunted
412 The Escapees
413 Zombie Lake
414 The Living Dead Girl
415 The Sidewalks of Bangkok
416 Killing Car
417 The Two Orphan Vampires
418 Dracula's Fiancee

Lost in New York will presumably not receive a spine number, and instead be featured as a supplement?

I really hope they restore Dracula's Fiancee, it currently looks awful and it's one of his best

It would also be nice to include Night of the Clocks and The Face of Medusa since they were
his final feature films. Maybe pair them together. I never considered Zombie Lake to be a bona fide
Rollin film since he was brought in at the last minute to the production (and personally, I found the film
insufferable to sit through).

Hard to imagine each of these titles getting an individual deluxe release (though an Indicator limited-edition Schoolgirl Hitchhikers with 80-page perfect-bound book and poster would be something to see).

No poster, but otherwise...

(It's a fine book, too.)

I'm rather partial to ZOMBIE LAKE, which feels more like a Franco film (who quit before production) than a Rollin...whilst's Franco's OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES feels much closer to Rollin!


I wonder if this marks the beginning of Indicator working with Eurocine, who owns several Franco classics, or at least the French versions!

I’ve already placed my order. Bring on Comtesse X!
