More Jess Franco coming to DVD!!

Always a good thing!
One of our favorite directors and some of his wildest films.
The first two from Blue Underground. Here's the press release and small sneak looks at the covers.

SUCCUBUS



THE SENSUAL EXPERIENCE OF '69 At a chic nightclub for jaded jetsetters, a simulated snuff performance is the main attraction, and Lorna, its leading lady, is the obsession of men and women alike. Little do they realize that Lorna's Mephistophelian manager has transformed her into "the essence of evil.a devil on earth!" Soon the sensuous starlet's stage persona possesses her entirely, thrusting Lorna into a hallucinatory world of sadomasochistic excess and drawing everyone she touches into her debaucherous delirium. Can anyone stop Lorna before her perverse stage show becomes a murderous reality? Starring the beautiful Janine Reynaud (TWO UNDERCOVER ANGELS, KISS ME, MONSTER), Jack Taylor (THE GHOST GALLEON, THE NINTH GATE) and Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOFF, DELICATESSEN), Jess Franco's (99 WOMEN, VAMPYROS LESBOS) Faustian fever dream provides the blue-print for the erotic horror that has become the infamous director's enduring legacy. Newly remastered from original vault materials, SUCCUBUS features exclusive Extras, including revealing interviews with Jess Franco and Jack Taylor!

RED LIPS DOUBLE FEATURE:
TWO UNDERCOVER ANGELS & KISS ME, MONSTER




Blue Underground proudly presents these psychedelic spy spoofs featuring the bold and beautiful detective duo The Red Lips! In TWO UNDERCOVER ANGELS, the sultry super-sleuths stumble upon a slew of murdered models, actresses and exotic dancers - all of whom appear in the work of a perverted pop artist. If he and his shaggy henchman are turning buxom beauties into art brut, can The Red Lips stop him before one of them becomes his next objet d'art? Then KISS ME, MONSTER finds the girls moonlighting on a striptease world tour - but no sooner do they hit the stage than the girls are up to their pasties in stiffs, Satanists and Sapphic sadists, all after a secret formula for human clones! But if The Red Lips can get to it first, will they still be able to survive the dangers lurking around every corner? Director Jess Franco (SADOMANIA, 99 WOMEN) combines hedonistic fantasy with subversive wit in these sizzling thrillers showcasing the cheesecake charms of Janine Reynaud (SUCCUBUS) and Rosanna Yanni (COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE). Both films have been remastered from original vault elements and include all-new interviews with the infamous Jess Franco!
