I read in a British mag that Polanski's THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS was coming out on MGM's Midnite Movies series. Anyone know if this is true?

Cheers

Would make sense since the musical based on it is currently on B'way. Probably the best time to capitalize...

I'm pretty sure that Warner owns the rights to this film so I don't think it can be part of MGM's Midnite Movie series here in region 1.

I believe this was just announced as a double feature by MGM. Check the Bits' new section.

Jon Robertson · Jan 14, 2003

I can't see anything indicating such a thing. Could you post a link, or at least tell us what to expect?

Jeff Ulmer · Jan 14, 2003

I can't find it, but I probably have it mixed up with The Vampire Lovers/Countess Dracula disc coming from MGM.

Too many Vampire titles...

MGM might well own the video rights to this film in the UK. Here we must wait for Warner to spit out.

I am just praying for the announcement to come. (I'm the one who created the petition to have the film released on DVD.)

I just hope nobody gets the idea of using the butchered US release - from what I've read, it must be really bad.

This is due from Warner's October 5th according to DVD Drive In.

Dave Mack · Jul 1, 2004

and PLEASE!!! No DAMNED EE..!!!!!!!!! D. Boulet, Help!!!

Frederic_A · Jul 1, 2004

Great news!

So, will this R1 release be the full European version (Dance of the Vampires)? The title doesn't make me optimistic.

Jim Peavy · Jul 2, 2004

Me neither. I mean, if that's the case it's coming in, it definitely doesn't look like Dance of the Vampires. Polanski reportedly hated the other title (the one featured prominently on dvdanswers.com).

Gordon McMurphy · Jul 2, 2004

Yeah, it will only be a must-buy for me if it is the uncut European cut with a good transfer. I'm a big fan of Polanski, but this isn't one my favourites. But I would buy it to bolster my Polanski collection if it is the Euro cut.

JPCinema · Jul 2, 2004

The US laserdisc was titled "Fearless Vampire Killers" but it was the longer European version. I'm reasonably sure that it will be the longer version. The shorter one has not been shown in years.

Jim Peavy · Jul 2, 2004

Well that's good news!

JayHM · Jul 2, 2004

Okay, I just wanna chime in and say that this film (the longer version specifically) was one of my favorites as a kid, and I distinctly remember appreciating it as both a comedy and a serious vampire film. The gothic atmosphere was exceptional. Great mood, cinematography, and music, and very funny as well. I'm definitely picking this one up.

John Fleming · Jul 3, 2004

Okay, so I'm late to the party

This is as one might expect from my sig, awesome news in my opinion. I think Ken Koc is right on the money with his comment regarding the longer and shorter versions. I say this because even my MGM/UA Turner VHS tape from 1990 is the longer uncensored version. But unfortunately, it's MAR...arrrrgggh! The Fearless Vampire Killers (or Dance of the Vampires) released in anamorphic widescreen on DVD in a non-Snapper case in early October?! What an early Halloween treat! You go, Warner! Did I say I'm excited?
