VAMCIR-docicon

Vintage hor­ror fans are aware that Synapse just released a spe­cial edi­tion set for Vampire Circus, a home video first for the U.S.  With that in mind, Schlockmania con­tacted Daniel Griffith, the man behind the new disc’s spe­cial fea­tures, and asked for fur­ther details on this title’s extras.  He was kind enough to do so, even send­ing some cool images to sweeten the deal.  Read on for the Hammer-historian details (don’t for­get to click on the images, too) — and if you like what you see, note the pres­ence of the sales link at the bot­tom of the page…
