[1] Two women dressed as clowns and a male driver are being chased through the countryside, for unknown reasons.

There they are bitten by vampire bats, which lead them to go into the castle, where they make love in a cozy bed.

An agent had introduced Rollin to Mireille Dargent, who would play Marie's partner in the film.

The castle, a historical place entirely furnished with genuine antiques, all of which were worth a fortune, had been rented from the duchess of Roche-Guyon.

It wasn't her castle that Rollin and the crew were interested in, but the ruins of the dungeon above, that overlooked the entire area.

The North American VHS edition, retitled Caged Virgins, were released on August 22, 1995.

For the North American DVD release, issued on 30 March 1999, the film was retitled Requiem for a Vampire.

A three-disc DVD limited edition was released by Encore in Europe in a new 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen version, with extras including audio commentary and introduction by Rollin, original trailers, a slideshow, alternative scenes, interviews with Bisciglia and Dhour, and a 64-page booklet.
