German 8mm version of Mario Bava's PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES

PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES, the beautifully-lensed science fiction film from Italian genre specialist Mario Bava, has recently been issued on a Blu-Ray that does an amazing job with its eye-popping color.  But the film, often mentioned as a forerunner to ALIEN, has taken on many forms over the years, including this 16-minute edit released to 8mm film collectors in Germany.  The color isn't as nice, the film is (obviously) severely truncated, and it's in German, but it's still an interesting look at how die-hard genre fans would have to watch movies at home before the VCR era.  (Also, see PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES.)
