Does anyone know if either of these films were released theatrically in Belgium?

Where'd you see the poster? Is it online somewhere?

NODS was released in Belgium under the title 'Curse of the vampires'...Must have been many scratched bewildered heads during those screenings!

Darren, I wonder  if "Curse of the Vampires"   had anything to do with the original title being changed  from "Curse of DS" to "Night of DS"  -Robert

I'm fairly sure its not a total coincidence, and certainly the international sales people at M-G-M would have been aware of the film's production title for several months before it was changed.

The Italian release was 'The House of the Cursed Shadows' and the Spanish/Mexican release was 'The Sinister Curse' so someone in the international division must have had a fondness for using 'Curse' in the international titles...
