Run Time 107:00

Product Color COLOR

Special Features: Vintage Making of Featurette "The Fearless Vampire Killers: Vampires 101; Alternate Animated Title Sequence; Theatrical Trailer (HD)

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!

FINALLY!

Thanks for the link. Been holding off getting the dvd for years now...

[The Sovereign]

Yes!!!

[Akijama]

LOL, DiabolikDVD has deleted the post. Obviously, they jumped the gun.

[MifuneFan]

I have no idea what they were thinking, but glad they came to their senses. Cat's out the bag already though

[Richard--W]

I was hopeful FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS would benefit from the Criterion treatment.

I doubt there'll be any supplements.

I bought the French blu-ray but I'll buy it again.

[Dallasnorthforty]

Hoorah!

[RICKBONDOO7]

The Curse of Frankenstein ....Please !!

[andantelise]

About time this gets a blu-ray release.

I was hoping that Criterion would add this to their Polanski collection as well, but I'll very happily buy this. The WAC DVD had a short making-of feature & a trailer, so those should at least be carried over.

[Axl Rose]

Sharon Tate 😍

[brainofj72]

I just about fainted when I saw this thread title. Day one, no question.

[HuggyBear73]

Wish WA put out ....EYE OF THE DEVIL.... with Tate, Hemmings, Pleasence, Kerr and Niven.

So much better the FVK.

[CinemaBlu]

YES! It's about time! I love this movie!

Nothing more pointless than people using a thread for a much wished-for-release by fans, to demand a totally different movie.

[Kyle15]

I did a triple take on this one. Extremely unexpected!

[FilmKoala]

I bought this on DVD forever ago solely to see Sharon Tate because well, you know. I remember literally nothing about it, it may be time to revisit it.

[UltraMario9]

I'll have a bit of that, thank you very much.

Shame it won't include the 2013 interviews with Polanski and Gene Gutowski from the French release. Would've been nice to have those with English subtitles.
