Hammer "Vampire Collection" (1 Viewer)

You're correct Mr Korstick in that those Hammer titles will more than likely see a R1 release, although not necessarily in the same form. The content possibly could be altered.

Have you confirmed that these versions are uncut? The reason I ask this is because the U.K. version recently released of The Vampire Lovers was the cut version where the new MGM version is suppossed to be a new uncut version. So my concerns are more with the U.K. versions being cut rather than the U.S. versions.

Randy, I'd never seen "VAMPIRE CIRCUS" or "COUNTESS DRACULA" before, so I have no personal basis for knowing if they were edited for content or altered in another way. I had seen "Twins of Evil" before, but that was in the theatre a great many yrs ago. It seemed to me upon viewing that DVD that there was not the same amount of nudity that I seemed to remember from the theatrical showing. But my memory can be faulty in this regard, so don't take what I say as gospel. My only "factual" basis for thinking that there has been content edited out is from a page at the BRITISH BOARD OF FILM CLASSIFICATION. When the film was initially submitted to the BBFC the film had a running time of 87m 21s. Subsequent showings of the film run at approximately 83m 39s. I just don't know for sure if it has been cut.

Thanks for the update and you are correct about the British theatrical releases many times being different cuts than the U.S. ones. MGM should be releasing the region 1 releases of these and they have a pretty good recent track record of releasing horror titles uncut so I have high hopes but we will have to wait and see.
