    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Jean Rollin claimed to have written the treatment in one impromptu burst, stacking incidents on top of each other with little care for plausibility or any other connective tissue.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning, when the clowns are pouring the gas over the dead friend, you can see him move several times, including twitches and breathing.
    • Alternate versions
      The film was rejected for UK cinema by the BBFC in 1972. It was finally released on video in 1993 by Redemption after extensive cuts of 6 minutes 55 secs to heavily edit shots of chained women in a cellar being stripped and raped by vampires, and a scene where Marie is whipped by Michelle.
