Scheduled for a September 16 release date, BCI are set to unleash a further two double bills as part of their Exploitation Cinema label.
First up is a double bill of Javier Aguirre's Cemetery Girls (1972) + Cirio H. Santiago Vampire Hookers (1979).
Cemetery Girls, which stars Paul Naschy, is perhaps better known to fans of European cult cinema as Count Dracula's Great Love (or in Spain as El gran amor del conde Dracula). Rather surprisingly it also had a UK theatrical release as Dracula’s Virgin Lovers and it appeared briefly on UK video under this title on the IFS label in the early 1980s. Sadly Cemetery Girls does not follow on by using BCIs newly created Spanish masters, so this will be sourced from a US print.
The other double bill consists of two Norman J. Warren BritFlix, the Suspiria influenced Terror (1978) + Satan's Slave (1976). This will be well worth picking up in order to get the first widescreen continental version of Satan's Slave.
