Title: more Dark Sky Eurocult
Eric Cotenas - January 30, 2007 07:01 AM (GMT)
The Dark Sky Films website lists for April 24 the releases of TRAGIC CEREMONY (Freda) and NAKED YOU DIE (aka Margheriti's SCHOOLGIRL KILLER). Does anyone know if these are dubbed or subtitled?
TRAGIC CEREMONY was previously available unauthored in Spanish with English subtitles. Did it ever play in English speaking countries?
SCHOOLGIRL KILLER was cut for its AIP release. The German disc has English subtitles. Wasn't the English dub done in the US for the cut version or was an English export version of the uncut version prepared in Italy?

I worked on both TRAGIC CEREMONY and NAKED... YOU DIE and the copies I worked from were in Italian... so there you go. TRAGIC ceremony seemed complete to me... that guy's head gets split open about 20 times.

Oh, sure, now it comes out, now that I just spent a whopping $2.00 for the old-school SCHOOLGIRL KILLER VHS prerecord.

They're issuing RICCO: THE MEAN MACHINE the same day. According to early reports, the castration footage is apparently intact. There's a Chris Mitchum featurette on it, too.

That means I can finally ditch my Monterey prerecord VHS of that one too, along with my SCHOOLGIRL KILLER tape.
:P

Marty, I picked up Air Video's SCHOOLGIRL KILLER years ago for only 99 cents (at a "Checks Cashed" shop that had tapes in the front) but it wasn't even worth that. The tape sports a horrid-looking transfer. Dark Sky's release will no doubt be a blessing.

The AIR Video tape seems to be the only representation of AIP's English language version. I haven't heard of any other English language releases of this (i.e. no Greek or Dutch tapes).

Anybody who's only seen SCHOOLGIRL KILLER (or THE YOUNG, THE EVIL AND THE SAVAGE) has some surprises coming with the full-length version, notably a tongue-in-cheek ending that failed to cross the Atlantic.

I'd like to hear the English dub, if only because a couple of actresses seem to be giving their performances in English.
