Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsIn the 2012 Kino Lorber remastered DVD, the English subtitles have some errors. In episode 8, "The Lord of Thunder", Satanas intends to rescue Irma Vep from a prison ship bound for Algeria. Disguised as a priest, he passes her a coded message which rearranges into "Le navire sautera". Colloquially, this means,"The ship will blow up", but the subtitle translates this as "Jump overboard"; probably a good piece of advice anyway, as he does arrange to explode the ship.
Later on in the same episode, Satanas plants a bomb in Guérande's apartment, and tells the paralyzed reporter that "the house will jump in five minutes"; same mistranslation.

intertitle: [final intertitle of Episode 9] All's well that ends well, but we still haven't seen the last of the Vampires.

Featured review
Outrageous and oneiric crime-spree!
I can't say enough about this film--I've pursued and studied it for the last twenty years! I'm so happy it's finally been made available on video. The first time I saw it was at the Videoteque de Paris...everyday for a week I watched episode after episode but, to my horror, when I requested the last episode I was told it was unavailable! It seems that, just the day before, the grandson of Louis Feuillade--I believe he is Jacques Champraux--had the video pulled from public viewings while it was in litigation. I thought I was going to fall over! The singular reason I was in Paris was to see LES VAMPIRES and suddenly, I was swallowing a very bittersweet pill. Anyway, eventually I saw the last episode, "The Bloody Wedding," but not until some years later when the serial was shown in its entirety at the Art Institute of Chicago. FIN
