I was wondering if anyone on the board has a good source for rare horror videos/DVDs. I'm trying to track down the documentary that was shot on the set of the Jess Franco 1970 version of Count Dracula with Christopher Lee. It was made by an avant-garde filmmaker named Pedro Portobella. I saw it on a list some time ago and am unable to track it down now. I'm dying to see it... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Speaking of Dracula, is there a VHS or DVD on the Spanish version made in '31? - I caught this on AMC I think once, but neglected to record it - Thanks

Yes, the 1931 Spanish version of DRACULA (which is amazing) is on the current DVD releases of the Lugosi version.

The film I am looking for is actually called "Cuadecuc-Vampir." It's a black and white experimental film made behind the scenes of Lee's COUNT DRACULA in 1970. It shows him laughing on the set and then he reads from the Bram Stoker novel over silent footage. It is not the LEGEND OF DRACULA film put out by Derann.
