Jess Franco & Lina Romay at the 09 Fantastic Fest

Jess Franco getting his award.


I would be interested in hearing about the prints of SUCCUBUS/NECRONOMICON and THE BARE BREASTED COUNTESS which were shown at the festival. They were both advertised with runtimes which are different from any versions I've encountered. It would be interesting to have noted if these were unique versions which we are not familiar with.



Thanks to Amy Brown, who managed to interview Jess at the event. Hopefully, that interview will be available in the near future. More images from the event will be published in future blogs. Once again, I wish I could have been able to make it. Congratulations to Jess Franco.
