Possible AU spin-off? 👀

I always wondered about the Wizard Video cover for Jess Franco’s “Revenge in the House of Usher” AKA (Neurosis, Zombie V). There is an illustration of a corded Driller Killer on the cover and no such scene appears in the film. It is an odd anachronism especially since it is a period piece that takes place before home electrical drills were available. Recently I watched the trailer for “Seven Blood-Stained Orchids” and there was a scene that immediately brought the cover to mind. It seems that the art was inspired by this giallo.

Revenge in the House Of Usher is the on screen title for the Wizard video release and it is the most common name used when referring to the Eurociné release of this film, however the first release was titled El Hundimiento de la Casa Usher (The Fall Of the House Of Usher). I don’t believe there are known copies of this directors cut.

The Ace Video release decided to cash in on the zombie craze and name their release Zombie V: Revenge in the House Of Usher. This was a bold choice considering the lack of zombies or even Killing Birds in this film.

Eurociné took the original director’s cut, mashed it up with a good chunk of the original The Awful Dr. Orloff and called it Nervos or as this print is titled Neurosis: The Fall Of the House Of Usher.

Someday I hope to see the original cut as Jess intended it but I’d be happy just tracking down El Crimen de Usher (The Crime of Usher) the Spanish release with added scenes of gore.

Jess Franco Friday!

J.P. Johnson Friday! It is interesting that yet another assumed name is used for Jess Franco than the one that appears on screen. Jess Franco Friday!
