4 RESTORED CLASSICS. 8+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES. LO MEJOR DEL HORROR GÓTICO ESPAÑOL.

Spain's tradition of Gothic Horror - particularly during the Franco dictatorship - was characterized by daring concepts, lush visuals, extreme sexuality and a startling aesthetic all its own. These four classic shockers from the 1970s represent the genre at its most audacious: In NECROPHAGOUS, the debut feature by writer/director Miguel Madrid, a fractured family in a crumbling castle conceals a grisly graveyard secret. The anthology film CAKE OF BLOOD - never previously available outside of Spain - presents a quartet of supernatural tales by four young filmmakers. Hammer Films director John Gilling brings his inimitable style to the occult thriller in CROSS OF THE DEVIL. And a terminally ill woman is enticed by eternal life in León Klimovsky's vampire masterwork, THE NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD. Each film in this collection has been scanned from its original negative - with over 8 hours of Special Features - for the first time ever in America.

Press Quotes

Ever since Buñuel and Dalí sliced open an eye with UN CHIEN ANDALOU, Spanish cinema has assaulted the audience with some of the most powerful imagery within the history of horror.

     —Fangoria

NECROPHAGOUS: An obscure delight with genuine scares.

     —Bleeding Skull

NECROPHAGOUS: A truly surreal viewing experience.

     —Fantastic Movie Musings

CAKE OF BLOOD: Interesting and very original... Each of the four stories could have become a full horror feature.

     —Cinema Oscura

CAKE OF BLOOD: A collaborative project in which four young filmmakers offer their personal vision of the genre.

     —Spanish Horror Film

CROSS OF THE DEVIL: A link between Hammer horror and its more lurid continental cousins... Director John Gilling maintains an atmosphere of intrigue and foreboding throughout this black magic murder mystery.

     —Grindhouse Database

CROSS OF THE DEVIL: John Gilling favored action and style over Hammer's penchant for melodrama... As a director, his name should be far more common in the mouths of horror aficionados than it currently is.

     —Ravenous Monster

THE NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD: A remarkable accomplishment... Romantic, adventurous and Fellini-esque, with an impressive and poignant exploration of vampire immortality.

     —At The Mansion Of Madness

THE NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD: Elegant and sophisticated... It provides nudity and blood to please exploitation fans while also attempting a more mature love story between the living dead.

     —The Bloody Pit Of Horror
