According to Tim Lucas anyway.
That's a damn shame in a way. David's excellent featurettes manage to pack more interest into 15-20 minutes than most big studio DVD extras manage in hours and hours. On the other hand, he is apparently going to be doing more of them for Dark Sky and has started his own company as well, Severin Films.
I was hoping that BU would pick up Jess Franco's last film with Harry Alan Towers, Count Dracula, and include the vintage surreal doco Vampyr and a new restrospective by David Gregory. That would complete the set. But at least he got to work on Succubus and the Red Lips films (Two Undercover Angels and Kiss Me, Monster) before he left. I've now got something like 3 hours worth of Franco documentaries directed by Gregory covering his '60s movies alone. It's gold, I tell you!
I'm sure all this is beyond incomprehensible to everyone reading my blog. I care not.
