U.S. label Vinegar Syndrome will release on Blu-ray director Javier Aguirre's film Count Dracula's Great Love (1973), starring Paul Naschy, Rosanna Yanni, Haydée Politoff, Mirta Miller, and Víctor Alcázar. The release will be available for purchase on September 27.
Synopsis: After their carriage breaks down and their driver is killed in a freak accident, a group of young women are forced to spend the night in a strange and isolated former sanatorium, which has just been purchased by the secretive Dr. Marlow (Paul Naschy). Unbeknownst to the visitors, Dr. Marlow is actually Count Dracula, and stalking the sanatorium are his recently turned vampire slaves. Soon the guests begin to be attacked by the ravenous bloodsuckers, while Dracula sets his sights on the beautiful virgin Karen, deciding to offer her his hand in marriage...
One of Naschy's most significant roles, Javier Aguirre's Count Dracula's Great Love is a sensitive, complex, and surprisingly subversive Dracula story featuring expert direction, effective gothic atmosphere, and gruesome violence. Presented here in its full strength 'unclothed' export version, Vinegar Syndrome brings this classic piece of Spanish horror cinema to Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world, fully restored from its uncut International negative and featuring a never released feature length audio commentary track with star Naschy and director Aguirre. Content and Special Features:
Also on September 27, Vinegar Syndrome will release on Blu-ray director Steve Scott's film China and Silk (1984), starring Harry Reems, Ginger Lynn, and Herschel Savage.
Synopsis: Lt. Harry Parker (Harry Reems) has just landed the role of lead investigator in a major dope smuggling case. It seems that Lily Chang (Kristara Barrington) has been importing heroine hidden inside fortune cookies, right under the nose of the law. Assigned to stake her out are two top undercover detectives (Ginger Lynn and Herschel Savage), but when fellow detective Mike Shaw (Paul Thomas) is killed by one of Chang's hoods, Parker makes it his mission to put an end to her crime spree once and for all... Director Steve Scott's (Trashy Lady) erotic action thriller features an all-star cast, top production values, and a suspense filled screenplay that will leave you guessing until the final twist. Never officially released on DVD, Vinegar Syndrome presents this forgotten classic newly restored from its original 16mm camera negative and on Blu-ray for the first time.
