This limited edition exclusive 80-page book with a new essay by David Jenkins, an archival introduction by director Jean Rollin, archival interviews with Rollin from 1973 and 1996, a look at the work of Lettrist artist, filmmaker, and Rollin collaborator Maurice Lemaître, including his 1967 election manifesto, an overview of contemporary critical responses, and full film credits.

This package contains two presentations of the film: La Vampire nue, Jean Rollin’s original French-language version; and The Nude Vampire, the English-language version, with re-ordered opening scenes and alternative credits.

Jean Rollin’s second feature film, and his first in colour, The Nude Vampire (La Vampire nue) finds the master of the fantastique combining his trademark erotic-vampire themes with an homage to the mystery serials of his youth.

When Pierre (Olivier Martin), the son of a wealthy industrialist, witnesses a beautiful woman (Caroline Cartier) being pursued and captured by men in bizarre masks, he decides to investigate, uncovering a sinister vampire cult...

Starring Caroline Cartier (Lumière), veteran French character actors Bernard Musson (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) and Paul Bisciglia (The Demoniacs), Lettrist artist Maurice Lemaître (co-writer of Rollin’s The Iron Rose), and Rollin regulars Olivier Martin (The Rape of the Vampire) and twins Cathy and Marie-Pierre Castel (Lips of Blood), The Nude Vampire is one of Jean Rollin’s most eccentric and effective works.
