Title: Crypt of Horror (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1963)

I have the UK pre-cert on the Videomedia/Vampix label (it's super-rare for some reason) - is there a better release out there on DVD?

All I can find is a Retromedia/Image bootleg release as "Crypt of the Vampire" which I'm sure is piss poor.

Its not great (highlights sometimes blow out but it looks better than PD - its not VHS to DVD) but it is a new anamorphic transfer. I'll put some caps up later. I also have a UK tape. I think its the Stablecane reissue of the Vampix version.

Post by: ecc on 18 Nov 2008 - 23:23: I don't think so. I'll have to check. The UK tape is a video retitling with CRYPT OF HORROR on a still frame. Both versions have short credits with just the lead actors and the director as "Thomas Miller". The Italian version has a full opening title sequence but all of the names are Anglicized. I have the SBS subtitled recording of the Italian version.
