Now that’s more like it! You might have read my rant about the studios treating classic Hammer and Universal horror films as second class citizens. If not, just know that it’s a serious point of contention between me and the majors. We’re barely on speaking terms these days. Well, thank the good lord for Synapse Films who have taken it upon themselves to rescue and distribute the Hammer spectacular Vampire Circus. It’s certainly one of the lesser known titles but hell, at this point, I’ll take what I can get. Details below:

• THE BLOODIEST SHOW ON EARTH: Making Vampire Circus – An all-new documentary featuring interviews with writer/director Joe Dante, Hammer documentarian Ted Newsom, Video Watchdog editor/author Tim Lucas, author/film historian Philip Nutman, and actor David Prowse.
