The book was donated by the Rollin estate specifically for the levitra schweiz Indiegogo campaign.
Other special perks still available in the campaign include ‘Château des Enigmes’ – a limited edition Jean Rollin-themed Mystery boardgame featuring artwork by the book’s cover artist Jessica Seamans – and the ‘Tour de sang’, a three-day guided tour to eight of Rollin’s iconic film locations, including chateaux, cemeteries and his beloved Dieppe beach.
The project surpassed its initial goal and has added a stretch goal that, if met, will allow for an additional 40 pages of images in the book as mexico viagra no prescription well as an upgrade to the boardgame that will see its weapons pieces sculpted in cold-cast metal by FX artist Dan Martin (FREE FIRE, HIGH RISE, A FIELD IN ENGLAND, HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 etc).
