Release
I vampiri was released in Italy on 5 April 1957. It was released in the United States in a heavily altered version in America that was retitled The Devil's Commandment.
The film was not a box office success in either Italy or France. Freda felt that film did not succeed in Italy due to Italian filmgoers reluctance to an Italian interpretation of the horror genre. For Freda's next film, Caltiki – The Immortal Monster, he used an English pseudonym to give the impression that the film was not Italian.
I vampiri was released uncut for the first time on DVD in the United States in 2001 by Image Entertainment.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
