Joe McCormickHOST
Hmm.
Robert LambHOST
Because I, when I think of Bava, I think of his, you know, those, those bright Technicolor, Technicolor p- pictures, the phantasmagorical color schemes of, like, Planet of the Vampires-
Joe McCormickHOST
Mm
Robert LambHOST
... or Blood and Black Lace.

Chris ScalzoHOST
You get a brand new 4K registration on that, a 30th anniversary conversation with Stiller and Matthew Broderick, some deleted and extended scenes, gag reel, and more.
Chris ScalzoHOST
And then Radiance is also putting out Planet of the Vampires, Mario Bava's classic sci-fi horror film, getting a 4K release from Radiance.
Chris ScalzoHOST
I have their Blu-ray.
Chris ScalzoHOST
Looks great.
Jeremy RuskHOST
What's his name? Dan O'Bannon.
Jeremy RuskHOST
When he wrote the original script of Alien, he wholesale just took It! The Terror from Beyond Space, and then Planet of the Vampires, and mashed them together.
Jeremy RuskHOST
Uh, so it is, like, the other piece of the Alien puzzle, and you watch it, and you're like, "Wow, there's just chunks of Alien are this movie."
Brandi Jo PlanbeckHOST
Okay.
Gregory CrosbyGUEST
Well
Bill MulliganHOST
... a whole Planet of the Vampires out of a bunch of cardboard, you know, sheets.
Jeff MooreHOST
When he takes the, uh-

Planet of the Vampires
Jeff MooreHOST

Jeff MooreHOST
when Blade takes the knife out of her neck, and I, I forget which one it was, it's shot kind of above, like in line with his forearm.

Simon FosterGUEST
films this year.
Simon FosterGUEST
Can you give us an insight? The one that I went after, and I've been trying to program since I saw it in 2016 at the Cannes Film Festival, there's a 2K restoration that's been doing the rounds of Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires.
Simon FosterGUEST
It is a stunning work.
Simon FosterGUEST
Those of you who know Bava know that he... generally works in the world of horror, specifically Italian giallo horror.
Simon FosterGUEST
We're screening that with an interview with Professor Lorenzo Bonaduce, who is one of Europe's leading science fiction academics.
Simon FosterGUEST
And that's going to be a great afternoon of cinema.
Simon FosterGUEST
So we're going to go from one o'clock on Saturday, the Saturn against the Earth, straight into Planet of the Vampires.
speaker_0HOST
Well, you've got a lot happening on Saturday as well because there's also Jason X.
Simon FosterGUEST
Yes.

Simon FosterGUEST
Those of you who know Bava know that he generally works in the world of horror, specifically Italian giallo horror, and he only ever made this one science fiction film, which was kind of discarded at the time and considered a bit of a B movie and a drive-in film when it went to America eventually.
Simon FosterGUEST
This sort of animated work that's been, um, produced in line with the, the comic's 90th anniversary is just stunning to look at.
Simon FosterGUEST
We're screening that with an interview with Professor Lorenzo Benedusi, who is one of the, Europe's leading science fiction, uh, academics, and that's gonna be a great afternoon of cinema.
Simon FosterGUEST
So we're gonna go from 1:00 on Saturday for Saturn Against the Earth straight into Planet of the Vampires.
Evan ShapiroHOST
Well, you've got a lot happening on Saturday as well because [laughs] there's also Jason X.
GavinHOST
... giallo, he made a lot of horror movies, and he's very famous.
GavinHOST
Planet of the Vampires is a...
GavinHOST
If you've never seen Planet of the Vampires, I highly recommend it.
GavinHOST
It's basically what Alien is based on.
GavinHOST
It's, uh...
RockyHOST
It was somewhere weird late at night it came on, and I just kind of wanted to review it again because it's been, you know, 40-some-odd years.
RockyHOST
But it's Planet of the Vampires.
RockyHOST
Awesome.
RockyHOST
Yeah.
RockyHOST
I know, I'm joking.
RockyHOST
I know what a pain in the ass that is when it happens.
WolfieHOST
By the way, Gino Maranuzzi Jr. did the score for Planet of the Vampires.
WolfieHOST
I don't know if that name's familiar to you, Morris.
BrianHOST
... kind of fun.
BrianHOST
Uh, Planet of the Vampires is a, is a Radient release.
BrianHOST
That's the only reason it was on my radar.
BrianHOST
But it is directed by Mario Bava, who I think I've watched a few of, uh-
NathanHOST
Oh
BrianHOST
... his Italian gi- uh, giallo films when I was going through my giallo phase years, years ago, and kind of got burnt out on.
BrianHOST
And so Planet of the Vampires was like, "Oh, I'm just seeing some of the artwork," and I'm like, "This looks kind of sci-fi-ish," where maybe they actually travel to a planet full of vampires.
BrianHOST
And it's like, I mean, what better mashup of genres than horror and sci-fi? Uh, after that we have a movie called Thirst, and I think this is another Indicator release, uh, directed by Rod Hardy.
