THE WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION BRINGS ROMAN POLANSKI'S BLOODSUCKER SPOOF AND A CLASSIC AMICUS ANTHOLOGY TO BLU-RAY DISC!

Chalk up two more films that I just haven't gotten around to watching yet Vault Dwellers! Roman Polanski's comedic vampire tale makes its Blu-ray debut with a brand new HD remaster of the film's longer 107-minute cut! FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE, which was Amicus Productions' final Horror anthology, also comes to Blu-ray for the first time and receives an HD remaster! FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE was released on October 8th, and THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS will be available on October 15th - continue reading to learn more about both releases!

THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (1967)

Synopsis: It's the living end, a fancy-dress ball for blood fiends in Count Von Krolock's Transylvanian castle. Surely no mortal would be foolish enough to infiltrate this "hemogobbling" horror of a soiree. But partygoers notice something in the ballroom mirrors: the reflections of humans – vampire killers – dancing among them.

Director/cowriter Roman Polanski (THE PIANIST, ROSEMARY'S BABY, CHINATOWN) spoofs vampire movies with this droll balancing act of shocks and laughs. He also portrays Alfred, mousy apprentice to a doddering researcher of vampirism (Jack MacGowran)... and the lovestruck defender of gorgeous Sarah (Sharon Tate) when the Count (Ferdy Mayne) tries to make her the ghoul of his dreams. It's all fang-tastic fun!
