| The first Naschy message board--Fans of Naschy Speak!-- was located on AOL, which hosted The Mark of Naschy site for several years before a move to an independent server. A lot of messages ensued, including brief posts by Paul Naschy and his sons, Sergio and Bruno, and a lot of friends turned up to to post -- some of whom are still posting on the current Naschy board. So here is the first archive of the old Naschy board, a near duplicate of the old one with the old Mark of Naschy banner. More to follow! |
FANS OF NASCHY SPEAK!
The Paul Naschy Message BoardArchive of posts dated 3/19/99 - 4/30/99
posted by: mirek on: Mar 19, 1999 at: 22:37 subject: The first posting Okay, Naschy fans, here it is -- a Paul Naschy message board! Post here for all your Naschy related comments, news, questions, etc. Many thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Jon on: Mar 19, 1999 at: 23:57 subject: Great Idea. Loved the interview with Carlos Aured. Keep up the great work. Jon Kitley's Krypt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Godzuki on: Mar 20, 1999 at: 02:21 subject: The Craving Hello peoples: I am so happy about the new message board. I think it's great idea. I can't wait to see this baby fill up with all sorts of Naschy question,info and all kinds of goodies. Just in case you didn't see my message in Fans Of Naschy Speak im that 12 year old kid in search of The Craving. Well im no longer 12 im almost 14 and still no luck with The Craving. But i did hear that Artisan entertainment has just released the Craving for $69.99. But i would rather pay less for a used copy. So if any of you nice careing Naschy fans would like to help out a 14 year old's dream of owning a copy of The Craving please e-mail me at godzuki4@hotmail.com and if you like you can also check out my really cheep site that will soon amaze all at http://expage.com/page/paulnaschy. Oh and in case any of you don't know Video Search of Miami suposedly has the uncut long lost version of Vengence Of The Mummy. But im not sure if this is it because this has a running time of 96 min. Well hopefully thats it. And they also have Lycanthropo with eng subtitles. Well once again it's nice to have a message board on the legendary Naschy. And to all those Naschy fans out there i would like to Bye bye for now Your friend Godzuki -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 20, 1999 at: 07:35 subject: VSoM's Mummy Yes, Video Search of Miami is advertising that they have the complete version of THE VENGEANCE OF THE MUMMY--but they are misinformed big time!!! I bought their copy, and not only is it unwatchable quality-wise, it is NOT the legendary and sought-after "nude version" of this film. All you get for your hardearned money is a few seconds of extra gore in the introductory Ancient Egypt section. Stay away from this dupe! It's awful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 20, 1999 at: 07:48 subject: Kitley's State of Mind Jon passed this info along to me in an e-mail, but Naschy fans should know that he just put up a review of STATE OF MIND on his site, Kitley's Krypt. Naschy only has a brief appearance in this Dutch (?) film, but a most memorable one, I'd say... http://www.kitleyskrypt.com/stateof.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 20, 1999 at: 08:03 subject: Hopefully not until you're Godzilla Godzuki, hopefully some caring Naschy fan will indeed pass along THE CRAVING to you. It's one of Naschy's best films (check out Denetia's review of the movie in our filmography section). Please tell us when you've accomplished your mission! Such perseverance is most noteworthy and should be rewarded. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Mar 20, 1999 at: 09:32 subject: Naschy on Laser/DVD I'm just waiting for some company like Elite or Roan to pick up La Mrca Del Hombre Lobo and Inquistion, remaster them into Dolby Digital Surround, and show them letterboxed in thier original Spainish dialog. These films would be perfect for those companies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Godzuki on: Mar 20, 1999 at: 16:47 subject: The Craving Thank You Peoples For responding to my message. I knew this would be a great message board. Thats to bad that Vengence Of The Mummy from Video Search of Miami is not the real uncut version as they say it is. I had a funny feeling that this wasn't it. But Hopefully this will bring some good news. Well you know the company that just released the Hammer Horror collection and we also know what a great job they did. Well i just finished writing a letter to them saying that they should re release the 10 lycanthropic tales of Paul Naschy and that they should add as a bonus. The origanal theatrical trailer. Now don't you think that would be great. I know this can happen and it would be even greater if they could release both the english dubbed and the and the spanish language versions in there full uncut glory or they could put the uncut and cut versions on the same cassete like they did with Legend Of The Seven Golden Vampires. Now i know we all think that would be great and im not just doing this for me im doing this for every living breathing Naschy fan and also for the man himself to gain every ounce of respect he should have for makeing these great films and even better this could open a whole new world to horror in the U.S,Canada and world wide. Bye bye for now Your friend Godzuki P.S don't forget to e-mail me at godzuki4@hotmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Jon on: Mar 21, 1999 at: 00:17 subject: Fango's Hall Of Fame For those of you who read Fangoria magazine, they are having their annual Chainsaw awards. One of the items is inducting someone in their Hall Of Fame. I suggest everybody send in their entry with nominating Paul Naschy. I definately feel that he should be in there, someone who loves the "fantastic cinema" as Naschy has said, then some hack like Kevin Williamson. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: SERGIO on: Mar 21, 1999 at: 07:11 subject: I LIKE THIS BOARD, I THIK ITS GREAT Hello, fans of Naschy. My name is Sergio and Im the Paul Naschy son. If you want know who i am you can see me in the "Howl of the Devil" Sorry for my english but i speak a little bit. I think that the new section its great. If you want know somethig about my fahter i will try to answer you. Bye. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 21, 1999 at: 08:29 subject: Welcome, Sergio Hi, Sergio, and welcome to these boards. Sergio has done a few pictures with dad, including MI AMIGO EL VAGABUNDO and LA NOCHE DEL EJECUTOR. And, of course, Sergio mentioned EL AULLIDO DEL DIABLO/HOWL OF THE DEVIL. Don't know how frequently Sergio will be dropping by, but this is a good opportunity for fans to ask some questions.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 21, 1999 at: 08:51 subject: Naschy on DVD Just to update folks about what's been happening on the DVD front concerning Paul Naschy. I am currently involved with helping someone contact several rights owners in Spain to Paul's films for the purpose of releasing in the U.S. what we desperately need--quality video presentations and DVDs of Naschy films. A few contacts have already been made, but dealing with Spain is tough. The Spanish rights owners tend to want a lot of money upfront, money that, frankly, is not there when you're speaking of lower-end DVD/video producers who may be willing to take a chance on euro-horror. I managed to speak to Don May, Jr. (of Synapse)a while ago, and asked how his quest for releasing HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE was going. He answered with a frustrated sigh that the Spanish rights owner wanted so much money that it became ridiculous for Don to continue negotiations.... Nevertheless, one can't give up hope. I'm continually trying to get something going in this department, and am pursuing all avenues, including dealing with other rights owners (not in Spain) who may be more reasonable. [Actually, I hear that Redemption of England HAS succeeded in getting rights to WEREWOLF'S SHADOW, the "uncut" English-language version of LA NOCHE DE WALPURGIS, and pricesly by going to another country for rights.] Stay cyber-tuned! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Godzuki on: Mar 21, 1999 at: 15:10 subject: Paul Naschy Mirek i think that is great that we are both doing the same thing. Trying to get the films of Naschy released. Im happy that you are doing this because as you know im just a kid and they probably will not listen to me since im only 14. But even though im a kid and your an adult. If i write and you write a request for Paul Naschy's films and maybe if we get a few more fans we know to write letters. They will be like hey. "This dosen't seem like a bad idea after all". Oh ya i hope that you don't mind me writing these long messages. Because if you do don't worry i will stop. Bye bye for now your friend Godzuki -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 21, 1999 at: 20:04 subject: No problem Godzuki, there's no problem with long messages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 22, 1999 at: 13:19 subject: Hall of Fame Jon Kitley passed along this idea in a previous message, and I'd like to pick up on it, now that I have more info. Fangoria is currently conducting a poll for their yearly "Chainsaw Awards", and coupled with these awards, is a vote for Hall of Fame. Well, guess who would be a perfect candidate for this award? If you don't get Fangoria, you can still vote by 1) email: postalzone@starloggroup.com or 2) by writing to: Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, 475 Park Avenue South, 8th floor, New York, NY 10016. No mass "form" mailings, please--just a personal note that you'd like Paul to receive the Hall of Fame Award will do. Mucho thanks, and I will be posting this info on the main page of the website also. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: denetiaare on: Mar 22, 1999 at: 23:10 subject: adding my two cents worth This is terrific, Mirek, glad to see the message board has already generated a considerable amount of input. It's great to have a forum like this to exchange ideas and information. It can only get better from here. To Godzuki - I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to find one so young as you who is this gung-ho about Paul Naschy. Having been a Naschy fan for more than 20 years, I've kind of forgotten what youthful enthusiasm is all about. I'm hopeful you'll keep us all on our toes with your new insights and ideas. To Jon at Kitleyskrypt - What a terrific State of Mind review. True, Naschy's appearance is short--but sweet and shows that even he has translated well into the politically (read sexually) correct 90's. I also agree about the Chainsaw Awards. Naschy is the role model for many of today's low-budget, independent horror/fantasy filmmakers. His steadfast dedication to achieving his goals has been a definite inspiration to the new generation. To Sergio - What a pleasant surprise to find you here. I'm sure all of us will have lots of questions over a period of time, however, I'm curious as to whether you were allowed to watch your father's movies as a child and, also, how old were you when you realized your father was "el hombre lobo"? That's it for now.I'll be checking back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: on: Mar 22, 1999 at: 23:11 subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Jon Kitley on: Mar 23, 1999 at: 01:20 subject: Naschy in Fango Hall of Fame Greetings! Just to let everyone know, I've posted a page on my website that has the complete listing of all the catagories for the Fango Hall of Fame. They prefer if you vote in all the catagories. It also has an email link to send it. All you need to do is cut and paste the listing onto your email, and delete the choices you don't want. Thanks again. The address for the link is http://www.kitleyskrypt.com/fangohof.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Sergio on: Mar 23, 1999 at: 03:57 subject: Hello again. Hello. I want answer to Denetiare. The first time i watched one of my fathers film was "La noche de Walpurgis" I was 6 years old and had a lot of fear. (now i am 23 years old) And in the first film i was work "mi amigo el vagabundo" i was 8 years, but i liked very much this experience. After ill work in other films, horror films except "La noche del ejecutor". I would like to work again in this kind, but its very difficult in Spain. If you want know something about mi dad you can wrote me and my father will answer you. Thank you for all and my father are very grateful for your support. Sorry again for my english. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mike on: Mar 23, 1999 at: 22:14 subject: hello I hadn't visited the Mark of Naschy for a couple of weeks, so this is the first I've seen the message board! Great!! Hello to one and all! It's great to see that I'm not alone in my love of Paul Naschy's work! I agree with Denetiaare- it's great to have Godzuki around to know that Mr Naschy is reaching a new generation! I hope that Redemption releases their Werewolfs Shadow in the US!! The jod they did on the 4 releases last year were remarkable, and La Noche de Walpurgis is one of my favorite Naschy movies! And might i add what an honor it is to have Sergio join us here!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Mar 23, 1999 at: 22:35 subject: Another ? or 2 for Sergio Thank you, Sergio, for your quick reply. I can imagine that it was traumatic seeing your father in the wolfman make-up and seeing him killed. At the time did you understand that it was "only a movie" and not something that really happened? I do have another question which I'm hopeful your father can answer. In the film El Retorno del Hombre Lobo, there is a scene with him and Azucena Hernandez walking through castle ruins. In the background are 2 life-size, stone-carved crucifixions. Their image is so powerful, beautiful yet tragic at the same time. I was wondering where this scene was filmed and whether it is on a private estate of a historical landmark accessible to the public? Thank you for any help you can give me regarding this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Mar 24, 1999 at: 09:55 subject: Segio, It was a great honor to meet your father at the Fango convention in New York in JAN. 98. I got some great photos of him as as shaking hands with. Your father ranks with me on the top 5 film makers nest to Lucio Fulci, David Cronenberg, Alfred Hitchcock, and LArs Van Trier. Please pass this on if you could. Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: sergio on: Mar 24, 1999 at: 11:49 subject: Here again HI! I dont have a lot of time because im study laws, and now im in the Spain army, but ill try to answer your questions. To Denetia, my father tellme that the place is on Madrid very close to Talamanca del Jarama, and he remembered that its public. Respect when i was a child and saw "la noche de Walpurgis" I knowed that was a film basically because my dad was very close to me in this moment and he didnt change a wolfman. To Humberto, my dad knows what you think about him and want tell you "Thanks for your support". BYE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Godzuki on: Mar 25, 1999 at: 20:12 subject: Werewolf v.s The Vampire Woman Hello Peoples I don't know for sure if any of you know but there is another video version of Werewolf v.s The Vampire Woman. This video runs at 83.28 min and is on a company by the name of Hollywood Select Video. The opening seen is of two men stopping at the mourge. Once there inside they look apon the body of Paul Naschy. Then they take the bullet out of his chest for Naschy to then turn into the werewolf. There is tepid gore and what looks like an unclear seen of a womans breast after the chase seen in the woods. I don't know if you know about this video version but it's the one i own and i can tell that it's not the greatest copy around. There are also many seens in which there are black lines almost connecting to the actors which makes it hard to see at times. And the sound is not the best either. But chances are i have a defective tape. This video is available through blockbuster video and is $12.99 U.S. Since i live in Canada i had payed $28.99 for the thing. Oh well just thought you would like ta know. Well got to go know Bye bye for now your friend Jon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 25, 1999 at: 21:31 subject: That Hollywood Select video I recently picked up the video Godzuki mentions, and was very pleasantly surprised by the difference between it and the other version of LA NOCHE DE WALPURGIS I was previously familiar with, WEREWOLF'S SHADOW. While SHADOW is a more complete version, it seems at times a work print, and has terrible end-credit music. WEREWOLF VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMAN, on the other hand, is smoothly edited for the most part, and has a haunting score, probably borrowed from a "music library." When I get my hands on the original Spanish-language version, I want to a comparison, and put up the findings in the filmography section. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Trouble on: Mar 26, 1999 at: 00:22 subject: Does Paul Naschy sing? Sergio: I'm a very big fan of your father's. Has your dad ever been known to sing in any of his movies? Does he have a good singing voice? Thank you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Mar 26, 1999 at: 02:49 subject: to Sergio re: El Espanto de la Tumba I am currently writing a review of El Espanto... for the website and have a question or two regarding the country home at Lozoya del Valle. Were only the interiors shot there or does the house actually overlook the lake as it appears in the film? If there is a lake, what is its name? I think that's it. I promise not to make a pest of myself so you may continue with your studies, etc. :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: sergio on: Mar 26, 1999 at: 03:40 Subject: No my father dont sing. He never singed in her films. Respect to Lozoya del Valle, was a country house of our family. Respect the lake, stay in the same place, its a very beautifull place. The place name its Lozoya valley, and the lake its the same (lozoya lake).Its very close to madrid only 80 km. Dont worry, now im in holidays in spain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Jon Kitley on: Mar 26, 1999 at: 07:19 subject: NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST Review I just finished reading the huge review of NIGHT OF THE HOWLING BEAST. Great job, Mirek. The photos made a really nice touch to it. Also, it's nice to have all those rumors of the PAL tape being uncut compared to the American release being settled. Escpecially since it's my favorite Naschy / Werewolf movie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 26, 1999 at: 09:24 subject: Credit where it's due Thanks for the compliments about the MALDICION entry in the filmography. I must point out that the praise should go to Denetia Arellanes, who wrote the actual review. Denetia has already written some excellent reviews for the site, and I can't wait to read more. I couldn't ask, or hope, for better reviews than these. Mil gracias, Denetia! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 28, 1999 at: 08:07 subject: That peplum If Sergio is around, I would like to ask him if his father remembers anything about the "peplum" movie he had acted in before LA MARCA DEL HOMBRE LOBO. What role did he play? Does he remember the names of any of the other actors, or the director? Was this one of the many Hercules films that were made at the time, or on another subject? We have some "peplum" experts here in the United States who may be able to figure out the title from even a small amount of information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: sergio on: Mar 28, 1999 at: 11:14 subject: peplum Hi Mirek, my father tell me " the name of the film was "Las legiones de Cleopatra" The intervencion was very sort and the role was Caligula. At this time Paul Naschy didnt exist and didnt was a proffesional actor". He dont remember more but he will try look for somethig more about your question. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Mar 28, 1999 at: 13:06 subject: Wonderful information This film is known in the United States as LEGIONS OF THE NILE, and if it is the same film it starred Andrea Aureli, Tomas Blanco, and Linda Cristal in the Cleopatra role. The director was Vittorio Cottafavi. It was made around 1959/1960, which raises another question, what was the first film in which your father appeared on camera, even as an "extra"--REY DE REYES, EL PRINCIPE ENCADENADO or LAS LEGIONES DE CLEOPATRA? By the way, Naschy fans have been trying to find out the title of the peplum movie for a long time--so this is exciting information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Caretaker on: Mar 28, 1999 at: 19:36 subject: Questions Hi all, So glad to see a messageboard dedicated to one of my favorite actors....Paul Naschy. I'd be more than glad to post a electronic ballot on my site for Fango, but does anyone think it will work. Let me know. Finally, a question for Paul. I had the pleasure of meeting you last year and Fango and have my picture taken with you. Is there anyway to mail the photo to you for an autograph. Please respond to me at Caretaker@houseofhorrors.com Long Live Waldemar!!!!!! Caretaker -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mike on: Mar 28, 1999 at: 22:37 subject: new info This message board is a godsend! Sergio, you are just so kind to be helping us learn more about your father's work! I thank you for taking time out of your studies to aid us! My only request for you Sergio, is could you please thank your father for the many hours (MANY!!) of entertainment that he has given us! And thanks to The Mark of Naschy website, as well! This is just GREAT! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Yaddith on: Mar 31, 1999 at: 22:59 subject: Re: new info Derrick here. This board is great. To everyone, a warm hello. Mirek, thanks a million for creating this forum! Sergio, thank you for participating here! And of course the greatest thanks are due to Paul Naschy!! ** Maybe this is old news but VSoM has subtitled into English the hilarious and utterly essential OPERATION MANTIS. The print is quite decent, probably the best of their subtitled Naschy films. I find this film extremely amusing. Sergio, doesn't your dad's rendition of "Alison" count as singing? ;) ** Of course VSoM also sent out the announcement of a subtitled LICANTROPO but it has since been withdrawn from sale. Anybody land one? ** STATE OF MIND??? Jon, how on earth did you track that PAL down?! Well done!! **Any new word on when GARDEN OF THE FRENCHMAN is coming from Manga? ** This is my permanent addy now, & I welcome email. I can think of a few other diehard Naschy fans who would enjoy this board; I'll try and recruit them. Derrick yaddith@aol.com PS. Godzuki--you *still* need THE CRAVING? E me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Apr 1, 1999 at: 08:19 subject: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Paul Naschy's (before he was Paul Naschy) first screen appearance was as in the film King of Kings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: denetia on: Apr 1, 1999 at: 10:48 subject: Naschy sings - maybe and other stuff In EL CAMINANTE there is a scene where Senor Leonardo (Paul Naschy) sings four lines of a ballad. Maybe Sergio can confirm whether this was his father's voice or dubbed by someone else? I would also like to ask the following questions of anyone visiting the message board. What was the first Paul Naschy film you saw? How old were you? And, what in particular drew your interest? I was in my late twenties when I saw my first Naschy film--a 16mm TV print (edited) of Count Dracula's Great Love. In fact, the first four Naschy films I saw were all TV edits. Since I've never been particularly interested in the standard Robert Redford/Paul Newman movie idol image and also being a horror fan in general, I was ripe for the picking. I knew I was mssing something but it wasn't until seeing Curse of the Devil at the drive-in that I found out what. I must admit that in the beginning the sensuality and perversity contained in his horror films is what kept me coming back. And, while most of us are familiar with him for his portrayal of Waldemar Daninsky along with numerous other horror film characterizatons, he has made many non-horror films that are equally deserving of praise and recognition. It is with these films that I've come to respect him most as a writer and director. Let's read what some of you have to say. That's it for now. - Denetia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 1, 1999 at: 14:55 subject: once is not enough I'm a late bloomer when it comes to Naschy films, and only began to take a real interest in them in the last five years or so. (Which is why I'm so envious of those who have seen a Naschy film on the big screen in the 1970s.) Before my interest began, I remember seeing a few scenes from a mummy movie on late-night TV, and being intrigued by the perverse roughness on display. The print that was used, however, was wretched, and I didn't watch much more, though I always wondered who was behind that film. (Later, I would find out that the film was THE MUMMY'S REVENGE, Naschy's take on the mummy mythology.) It was only when my interest in euro-horror increased in the last decade, that I began to read more and more about Paul Naschy. I may have seen a couple of Naschy films on video at that time, with paying much attention. Then came the momentous day when I decided to give Naschy another chance: I popped in THE CRAVING into my VCR--and wow!!! I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty of this film. The fact that it was also written and, more importantly, directed by Naschy made me instantly realize that here was a special talent, unlike any other in horror films. I was impelled to find out more about the man and his films . . . and have never turned back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Yaddith on: Apr 1, 1999 at: 15:33 subject: The making of a Naschy fan I got hooked on Paul Naschy only about three years ago, when I was around 29. The first Naschy film I saw was FURY OF THE WOLFMAN. It's a little embarrasing to admit, but I came upon it while I was shopping in Woolworths! They had a bunch of cheaply-made videos on sale for around a dollar apiece. I think the label was Alpha. A friend of mine who knew about Naschy suggested that I might like his films so I risked a buck and gave it a try. Although the print on this EP tape was not the greatest, FURY was entertaining enough to me that I tried a few others, HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB, PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK, CURSE OF THE DEVIL, all of which were at that time available cheaply in local stores. Incidentally, that supply has dried up now, probably a testament to Naschy's increasing popularity here in the US! I was already a horror fan and video collector but until I found FURY OF THE WOLFMAN my interests were almost exclusively restricted to "classic" horror: the Universals, Lugosi, Karloff et al. I was really impressed with the respect and admiration with which Naschy treated the classic horror themes. Since then I have made it my goal to watch and collect as many of his films as I can get. Meeting Paul Naschy at last year's Fangoria convention was an honor and privilege I'll never forget. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Jon Kitley on: Apr 1, 1999 at: 22:34 subject: Appreciating Naschy My first Naschy film was HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB, and that was . . . possibly 7 or 8 years ago. While I loved that particular movie, it still was a little while longer before I came to really appreciate Naschy and all his work. The first time I had seen THE MUMMY'S REVENGE, I basically hated it. Don't know why, but have since come to see the light. I still prefer Naschy's work in the horror genre, but still enjoy them all. Plus, like Derrick mentioned earlier, it's becoming a very popular 'quest' to try and find Naschy films, especially finding original pre-records! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Apr 2, 1999 at: 09:02 subject: The first Naschy film I ever saw was Frankenstein's Bloody Terror back in 1979 on a late night show called GHOST HOST. Every Friday night, Baltimore, MD's chnnel 45 would show a rerun of the TV show, The Night Stalker, followed by GHOST HOST. I was only 9 years old at the time, but I remember the film leaving quite an impression on me, especially the first transformation seen. A year later I started reading Fangoria magazine and became familier with Paul Naschy, and his works, and have been a fan ever since. My favorite Naschy film is Inquisition. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: SERGIO on: Apr 3, 1999 at: 04:16 subject: Sorry, yes my father sing. Sorry for the information, this morning my father saw the board and tell me "yes I was sing, you dont remember?" My dad was sing in "operación mantis" (Alison) and "El caminante". But was only 2 in 104 films. The first time that my father, was in front of the camera was in "King of kings" like extra. And of course i dont tell you how i became a naschy fan! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Apr 3, 1999 at: 10:45 subject: Waldimar in America Sergio, when is your father coming to America to shoot a Waldimar Danisky flick? I remember him saying last year in New York that he wanted to do this after seeing An American Werewolf in Paris to show the Americans how it's really done! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Trouble on: Apr 3, 1999 at: 19:42 subject: Paul Naschy sings` Yaddith: Thanks for the info on Paul Naschy singing in Operacion Mantis. Does he have a good singing voice? Thanks again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mike on: Apr 4, 1999 at: 00:53 subject: first Naschy experience I'm a day late with my story, but here goes! I was about 15 in the mid 70's and a big fan of the local TV stations midnite movies. I'd discovered Cushing years before on this channel, and one Friday night, they were showing a very gory mummy movie (of course The Mummy's Revenge!) The head crushings and virgin "splattings" were actually intact, and I remember sitting there with my mouth hanging open, unable to believe my eyes! I'd seen Paul Naschy's name before in my monster mags, but not "in the flesh"! This was amasing! Another night "Frankensteins Bloody Terror" was showing, but it was storming out (great for atmosphere- lousy for reception!) and I had a tough time keeping the picture! Thinking back on it, that wasn't much different from the dupey looking bootlegs I've since seen of this film!! Thanks for listening!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Apr 4, 1999 at: 16:38 subject: reply to Trouble/? for Sergio Regarding Paul Naschy singing 'Alison' in Operacion Mantis--he is punked-out in black leather, kind of looks like an extra from Road Warrior, and he's also sporting a mohawk. His rendition is certainly enthusiastic and he has a few cool dance moves to match the mood. In El Caminante, he sings four lines of a ballad, accompanying himself on a mandolin or similar musical instrument. His voice is quite melodic. I know it was a number of years before I heard his actual voice. I was excited when I leanred that a local Spanish speaking station was going to show one of his films, La Esclava del Paraiso, and I also remember my disappointment when I realized that all the voices had been dubbed to translate better to Mexican Spanish as opposed to Spanish Spanish. Which leads me to another question for Sergio to ask his father. At times I feel I have noted the Castillian pronunciation of words, 's' sounding like 'th'. Is this pronunciation more acceptable in Spanish filmmaking, is this his natural accent or is it just the general manner of speaking? Hope that makes sense. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Trouble on: Apr 4, 1999 at: 19:02 subject: Paul Naschy sings... Thanks Denetia. I appreciate the info. You certainly know a lot about Paul Naschy's career. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Apr 5, 1999 at: 01:19 subject: To Trouble/Count Dracula ?'s To Trouble: I guess all the years of my misspent youth seeing every horror film I could at either a Saturday matinee or on television, spending my allowance on the latest issue of Famous Monsters and/or Castle of Frankenstein should count for something, right? I remember when many of Naschy's films were on local TV--I stayed up till one or two in the morning to record Horror Rises From The Tomb, Fury of the Wolfman, Frankenstein's Bloody Terror and Assignment Terror; I still have the Beta tapes lurking around somewhere. I also distinctly remember calling in sick to work one day so I could stay home and record House of Psychotic Women! Though I can blame my initial interest in Naschy of my friend, Jim, who screened a 16mm TV print of Count Dracula's Great Love at his apartment one evening. I must admit that the majority of other people over that night were not having as good a time with the movie as I was. But I was hooked and have been a Naschy fan ever since. In fact, I still have the 16mm print which Jim was going to trash. Which brings me to a question I hope someone out there can answer. Count Dracula's Great Love was also re-released under the title Cemetery Girls. Did anyone see this at a theatre or drive-in? It supposedly played the East Coast. How did the title credit differ (insert card?)? Is this movie available on video and is it a TV edit or intact print? That'll do it, I think. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: VING on: Apr 5, 1999 at: 02:01 subject: El Caminante I'm not so sure if it's Naschy singing in El Caminante. The version I've seen is dubbed. With all due respect, I think his voice is terrible in Operacion Mantis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 5, 1999 at: 12:35 subject: Counting the Count There are several video versions of COUNT DRACULA'S GREATEST LOVE available, but I don't know of any tape of the CEMETERY GIRLS version. The most complete version appears to be one available from Sinister Cinema, but it's full frame, so you miss the side action. Stay away from the cut Gorgon and Something Weird tapes. And a stupid, perhaps, question to Denetia: Is your 16mm print of this film widescreen? (Sorry to say, I don't know if 16mm can reproduce this format.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 5, 1999 at: 12:46 subject: Most sought after The recent messages about COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE (and it's GREAT not GREATEST, as I wrote previously) made me think about several Naschy films that I'd love to see uncut: the already-mentioned COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE, which according to Naschy had some twenty minutes excised; the "nude" version THE VENGEANCE OF THE MUMMY (question to Sergio: has this version been found yet, and if so, who has it?); and the complete LA NOCHE DE WALPURGIS, otherwise known as WEREWOLF VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMAN or WEREWOLF'S SHADOW. I know the SHADOW version is supposed to be complete, but there's a love scene that seems cut anyway. Anyone have other candidates? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Richard Harland Smith on: Apr 5, 1999 at: 13:55 subject: I bid you welcome I have only seen a handful of Paul Naschy films, but they've got the dubious distinction of being the worst-looking (in terms of print quality and age - not a knock on the man himself) movies I love the most to watch. Whether it's COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE or THE HANGING WOMAN or THE WEREWOLF VERSUS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN or ASSIGNMENT TERROR, I love them all. I was first intrigued by photos of Naschy's films in books such as "The Vampire Cinama" and "The Seal of Dracula," and the odd snapshot in Famous Monsters magazine. I'm a fan, and the only thing I enjoy more than watching the films of Paul Naschy is showing them to other people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: NaschyFan1 on: Apr 5, 1999 at: 14:38 subject: First encounter Whoa, I'm a little behind in these postings. I first discovered Paul Naschy when I skipped a day of high school in the mid-seventies (oops, I'm dating myself) and took the train into downtown Chicago to see a triple bill of BLACKENSTEIN, VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST, and THE WEREWOLF VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMAN. Ostensibly I made the journey to see the Frankenstein rip-off; I relished all things derived from Shelley's novel and from reviews, I knew it would never show up on commercial TV, and who knew about video back then? The features played continuously starting at 9 a.m., one after another, in a dive of a theater (no longer standing) in the Loop. Surrounded by a scattered audience of snoring drunks and other misfits, whitebread me sat through all three movies twice with my portable cassette recorder in hand, taping the dialogue for posterity. Echoey sound and all, I enjoyed all three features for years, but soon after, Naschy films would become frequent fixtures on two of my local UHF TV stations. Their saga is for another posting sometime... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Apr 5, 1999 at: 22:30 subject: To Mirek: CDGL 16mm print Sorry to say that my print of Count Dracula's Great Love is a scanned print and not wide screen. I know there were Cinemascope 16mm prints made of some films and I do remember seeing such movies as Dirty Harry, Once Upon A Time In The West and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in widescreen projected from 16mm at similar home screenings as CDGL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: SERGIO on: Apr 7, 1999 at: 07:23 subject: Hi again. I´ll answer to Denetia and Mirek. To Denetia: I think that the pronunciation of ´s´ in spanish like ´th´ its wrong. This kind its typical of the south of Spain (Andalucia), and the correct Spanish is in Madrid. (i dont know if i understand your question) To mirek: The uncut version of "la venganza de la momia" Its lost, because was censured by the Spanish gobernment (during the Franco´s era) Its different with "La noche de Walpurgis" recently was found a uncut version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: on: Apr 7, 1999 at: 08:29 subject: Segio, you never answred my question from April 3!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Apr 7, 1999 at: 08:32 subject: That was me right above -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 7, 1999 at: 12:41 subject: Daninsky in America Hi, Humberto, perhaps I can answer your question, since Paul Naschy has already given me some information about the new Waldemar Daninsky project. Since Naschy last contacted me on this matter a couple of weeks ago, he was finishing up the screenplay to the film, titled THE EYES OF THE WOLF. After the translation of the script into English, financing will be sought here in the United States. If everything goes well, Paul Naschy wants to shoot part of the film in New York. So, you see, the project is just in the beginning stages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Apr 9, 1999 at: 16:28 subject: Eyes of the Wolf Any clues to the plot? What brings Waldemar to America? Will Naschy hand the reigns of Daninsky to another? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 9, 1999 at: 19:58 subject: plot, as far as I know it So far, this is all I know about EYES OF THE WOLF: The film begins in Egypt, where a tomb is discovered containing a mummy. After the mummy is revived, he transforms into a werewolf during the full moon! (No, this werewolf is not Waldemar Daninsky.) Waldemar Daninsky is a scientist or professor who somehow gets involved in the proceedings, and probably gets bitten by the mummy/werewolf, leading him to become a wolfman also. I believe Daninsky will be living in New York, but I am not certain of this, as I heard that the film ends in Spain. The New York locale will probably depend on whether Naschy can get American financing. What is certain is that Daninsky will be permanently cured of the lycanthropic curse (a happy ending). At least that's the latest word from Naschy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Franco2000 on: Apr 9, 1999 at: 21:58 subject: To Ving re: El Caminante If I'm not mistaken, that is actually Paul Naschy's speaking(and singing) voice in the film El Caminante. Can anyone confirm this? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: David on: Apr 10, 1999 at: 07:54 subject: Eyes of the Wolf The synopsis for EYES OF THE WOLF certainly sounds intriguing, what with the mixture of the mummy and werewolf legends. It takes me back to that deliriously goofy storyline in Warren's EERIE magazine in the early- to mid-seventies; or perhaps even further back, to the 1965 release of FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF, a U.S. exploiter's bastardization of Lon Chaney, Jr.'s 1959 LA CASA DEL TERROR (and his final, furry fling as the Wolf Man) and 1957's LA MOMIA AZTECA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mike on: Apr 10, 1999 at: 08:39 subject: Count Draculas Great Love Sorry....I'm a few days late again! I compared Sinister's "Count Dracula's Great Love" to Midnight Video's and the Midnite one seems more complete. It too is fullscreen (The left side of the credits are non-existant!), but there is a bit more nudity in it, particularily when the 2 vampire girls are "initiating" the third! The print looks pretty good, but I find Midnite to be rather expensive. I don't remember the exact time of the Sinister version, but this one runs just over 83 min. By the way, this film is (another) Paul Naschy favorite!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 10, 1999 at: 09:29 subject: always something to uncover I saw FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR for the first time this past week and was amazed to find that there are scenes in this significantly cut American version that are NOT found in the Spanish original, LA MARCA DEL HOMBRE LOBO, or the German version! Right after the scene in which Daninsky gets bitten by Wolfstein, there's a brief scene of Daninsky in church finishing his prayers and applying holy water to the fresh wound on his chest. Another scene highlights Naschy's well-developed torso, as he is loading bullets into a gun. Finished with his work, he puts on his shirt. (This scene begins the segment in which Daninsky transforms into a wolfman for the first time.) There are a few other extra seconds here and there, primarily, if not exclusively, in the first part of the film. I may be compelled to check out Midnight's version of COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE, as that film is a favorite of mine. As I'm learning, even now, there's always something new to uncover in the film world of Paul Naschy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Apr 10, 1999 at: 10:18 subject: Naschy's biography Just wanted to make a quick post regarding the availability of Naschy's bio for anyone still looking for a copy. The book is available from barataria books in Spain (website listed below). I can highly recommend them. I ordered by credit card and had the book in five days. Of course, the airmail postage is as much as the book, but two books can be ordered for the same amount of airmail postage. They also provide surface mail postage at a considerably less amount. I plan to order a second copy for myself and if anyone is interested in keeping the postage costs down, you can contact me at denetiaare@aol.com, so two copies can be ordered at the same time. If you wish to order direct, barataria's website is http://www.barataria.com/libros.html. This will take you direct to the section where his book is listed. They're very good about answering emails and will reply in English. The listing for Las Memorias... is about half-way down in the listings. I've contacted them about the Portuguese publication as well and should hear back from them later today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Yaddith on: Apr 15, 1999 at: 09:54 subject: ordering the PAL tapes? I'm a little behind on tehse messages myself! Mirek, that's interesting about the "extra" scenes in the "cut" version of FRANKENSTEIN'S BLODY TERROR. I guess we'll have to hang onto our old Enlgish copies after all. Denetia, thanks for the info on ordering the Naschy bio. Do you know any places that will take US mail orders for the Manga PAL videotapes, or the new version of LA ORDIA DE LOS MUERTOS which was recently released in Spain? On vacation a year ago I picked up the four Mangas which were then available, MARCA..., JOROBADO..., INQUISITION and EL FRANCOTIRADOR but unfortunately two of the tapes are defective. I'd really like to purchase replacements and also pick up ORGIA ... & the Manga GARDEN OF THE FRENCHMAN if it's available. From what I have seen of the new versions, they are of stunning quality! Thanks, Derrick -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: sergio on: Apr 15, 1999 at: 13:31 subject: about "EYES OF THE WOLF" This message its for David. My father asqued about the film "THE FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF" He would like to know somethig more about the movie. Thank you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: David on: Apr 16, 1999 at: 12:34 subject: Face of the Screaming Werewolf Hola, Sergio-- Here are a few plot details about FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF: This was the American title for LA CASA DEL TERROR, a 1959 musical-horror-comedy starring the Mexican comedian "Tin Tan." He played a janitor working in a spooky wax museum who unknowingly donates blood to the mad doctor working in the back room. The scientist has a lumpy Egyptian mummy that he transfuses the blood into. Stripping off the bandages and putting it in a steam chamber (much like Glenn Strange in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN), the "mummy" comes back to life in the person of Lon Chaney, Jr. in his trademark "Larry Talbot" dark clothes. The mad doctor locks him in a cage, but with the full moon, the "mummy" turns into a werewolf (in makeup very similar to THE WOLF MAN)to have his revenge. Chaney has no dialogue except for saying "No!" when he sees the full moon. The American version of the movie incorporated footage from an earlier Mexican mummy movie (LA MOMIA AZTECA), but the result is a jumbled mess. It's short -- only 59 minutes long -- and the English dialogue explains Chaney's mummy as being just a man who drained his own body fluids into another mummy for some unknown reason. The film is very illogical, but the moody lab scenes are terrific, and Chaney plays his scenes straight (as opposed to his comedian nemesis). I have both the American film and the Mexican original on video, and the werewolf scenes (mostly using a thinner stunt-man) are excellent. I hope this helps to satisfy your father's curiosity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Apr 17, 1999 at: 22:04 subject: note to Derrick Re your inquiry about the Manga videos. While I have not been successful in tracking down a direct video dealer there is a movie memorabilia dealer in Spain who may be of help. What he would charge for buying the tapes along with postage, I don't know. The dealer's name and address are as follows: Al Jacobs/Al's Cine Collectables, Apartado 38, Calafell 43820, Tarragona, Spain. His fax # is 34-977-690681. He offers a free finder's service. There is another dealer whom I will be seeing in the next month or so who lives in Canada but makes frequent trips to Europe (Spain included). I have bought several Spanish items from him on television shows such as Man From UNCLE, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Rat Patrol. He does accept want lists and it is possible on one of his buying trips that he could pick up the tapes. I'll keep you posted on that. Do you happen to have any of the Spanish language issues of Fangoria. Maybe they have some video store listings in the back pages like the American edition. That's all for now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: sergio on: Apr 18, 1999 at: 06:11 subject: La momia azteca Thank you for the information, David. My father told me that he was write "the eyes of the wolf" because think that the story was original, and now he dont know wat to do. Tanks again -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 18, 1999 at: 09:48 subject: Go for it! In the Daninsky article I recently wrote, I mentioned the irony of EYES OF THE WOLF containing a similar mummy/werewolf plot device found in LA CASA DEL TERROR. I also wrote that I doubted that Paul Naschy was familiar with this Mexican movie. It don't think it's a question of who came up with the plot device first, if Paul Naschy never knew of this film. What is eerie (and maybe a little supernatural, appropriately) is that if EYES OF THE WOLF is actualized, Naschy's swan song as a wolfman will harken back to Lon Chaney Jr.'s last major appearance as a lycanthrope. There is something poetic about this, particularly when one takes into account the influence that FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN had on a young Jacinto Molina. Another consideration: the Mexican LA CASA DEL TERROR version is barely known to most horror fans, and the Americanized version, THE FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF, while a bit more familiar to horror afficionados (and only the most dedicated ones at that), is terrible!!! I'd say go for EYES OF THE WOLF. Surely this will be a better movie, and we need to see a great Waldemar Daninsky film again! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Godzuki on: Apr 18, 1999 at: 12:20 subject: Blood Moon Hello peoples Well guess what. Two days ago i found a new video store called Ambasador Video around my area so i decided to drop by and to my surprise i found a copy of no not the Craving but a copy of Blood Moon on the AIR video label. It wasn't for sale bur knowing me i ask anyway and you wana know what they told me they would sell it to me for $7.99 so along with that they also sold me the extreamly rare Count Yorga Vampire for the same price whiich i had been searching for for about four or five years. Well looks like i'll be going back there again and maybe i will sucker them into letting me buy Exorcism and that cult classic The Twilight People. And also there is another of the same video store down town that juust might have the Craving. Well hopefuly with the luck im having they will have a copy covered in dust sitting on the rack just waiting for me.I guess only time will tell and i hope time dosen't run out on me. P.s Eyes of the Wolf sounds like the best movie i have ever heard of so i can't wait about that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mike on: Apr 18, 1999 at: 13:56 subject: la marca del hombre lobo I just finished watching the Euro-shades "La Marca del Hombre Lobo" and I'mm in ecstacy! It's like I'd never seen the film before!! The little Spanish that I remembered from high school (over 20 years ago now...God!) helped out just fine! Just beautiful!! I also got the Sinema Brut magazine, so it's been a happy Naschy weekend! By the way, Mirek, it's an excellent article! Concerning "Eyes of the Wolf", I really hope Mr. Naschy decides to do it! It sounds amazing, and I'm sure in his capable hands, it would be a future classic! GO FOR IT!!! PS... Godzuki... Good luck! Sounds like a great store!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 18, 1999 at: 19:57 subject: The Manga Videos Along with sending a dozen or so wonderful photos for this site, Paul Naschy sent the recent Manga video releases and Cine de Terror's LA ORGIA DE LOS MUERTOS. Some of the Mangas have already been available as NTSC dupes from our EuroShades site, but I'd like to make all this material available to interested parties. Price-wise I'd like to charge about $12, considering I'd be using the best quality tape (Maxell's HGX-Gold), the time involved, etc. This, as all of you know, is a very low price, considering that most dupers charge about $20, if not more. Any profits would go back to the development of this site. If anyone thinks I should charge less, please inform me. Incidentally, LA ORGIA DE LOS MUERTOS, known here mostly as REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES, is the non-nude version of the film and is NOT presented widescreen. The Manga tapes are all widescreen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 18, 1999 at: 20:16 subject: Odds and ends Godzuki, if your BLOOD MOON is in a big box, consider yourself very lucky: a rare find. Thanks, Mike, for the good word on my Sinema Brut article--and, yes, the Manga version of LA MARCA DEL HOMBRE LOBO is quite beautiful. It reinforces the need for us folks in the United States to see Naschy's films on DVD and quality video in English dubbed or subtitled prints. Lastly, a reputable gent in Spain sent me word that he can get the original PAL Manga tapes for American fans, like Derrick, who may want the videos in this format. I'm embarrassed to say that I've misplaced his address, but hopefully I will find it, and post the information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Denetia on: Apr 18, 1999 at: 21:17 subject: Manga tapes Barataria Books in Spain replied today stating they would get pricing and shipping info for the Manga tapes.

Most horror films today are very mechanical relying mainly on special effects and forget the whole fantasy elements of the films. One of the reasons I enjoy your father's films is because he's not afraid to go on a limb as far as fantasy goes, not mention borrow a bit from the old Universal horror films. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Ving on: Apr 19, 1999 at: 00:05 subject: Franco 2000 No, I don't think it's Naschy's voice in El Caminante.

It would be wonderful indeed if Sergio or Paul could drop by, though I think the time difference is about five hours or so between Spain and the eastern time zone of the US, so son and dad would be burning a little midnight oil and then some.

I heartily agree with Mirek and Humberto and encourage Paul to go ahead with his sequel. FACE OF THE SCREAMING WEREWOLF is held in high regard by absolutely no one -- it's an embarrassment to fans of Lon Chaney, Jr. and to horror film fans in general. As the millennium draws to a close, too many of us out here are counting on Paul Naschy to show us how a proper, full-fledged horror film is made in the 20th century, the better to show how it should be done in the 21st. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Apr 19, 1999 at: 16:24 subject: El Hombre Lobo's Lounge Sorry folks, but I have to change the date to this Friday night, April 23 at 8:00 PM, EDT.

I don't know a good source for a pre-record of THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE DARK. My copy is an EP sell-through I bought for a couple of dollars at least three years ago.

Should i buy it. Because a video store buy my house is selling it for $9.99 it is used though and they are also selling The Hanging Woman for the same. The video store that im talking about is the one that sold me the copy gaurded version of Night Of The Howling Beast on Super Video and the same with Blue Eyes And the Broken Doll on Super Video. If i should buy it could someone help with the story line cause im not to sure of what the movie is about. And also about the copy of Blood Moon that i had purchased it was a used copy and the box was cut to fit those stupid plastic cases so im not sure if it was in the larger box. maybe if i told you what the cover art looked like it could help. Well if so there is nice looking female Vampire on the front which is most likely Wandessa dressed in some kinky looking leather get up.

Dallmann on: Apr 22, 1999 at: 21:55 subject: Horror Rises From the Tomb EXCELLENT "Horror Rises From the Tomb" review--you hit all the points I couldn't cover in capsule form way back when... I'd like to ask about a fourth video release version, however--you know those awful EDDE/TZ tapes--those incessant phony "Zombie" sequels (which included Naschy's "Return of the Zombies," for instance)? They also put out a line of "Mark of the Devil" movies. The first two were indeed the first (and only) two "Mark" movies--and a number of stores carry the phony Part 3--"Sisters of Satan." However, once and only once did I actually see a Part 4 and a Part 5 from the same label. Part 4 was "Horror Rises From the Tomb," and Part 5 was the original Blind Dead movie--under the title "Night of the Blind Terror." Has anyone actually viewed either of these releases who can provide content details? On an unrelated note, I was amused to read the history of Mummy movies in the latest Fangoria. With Tom Weaver at the helm, you can be assured of plenty of detail--and plenty of Hammer-bashing. And you get that, naturally. But I was amused and flattered to see my own error perpetuated. As I acknowledged before, despite what made it into my original "Mark of Naschy" Fango article, Patty Shepard does NOT appear in "The Mummy's Revenge," let alone as the Princess. But there it was again! Wish I could drop in more often--I'll do what I can. Great board, great site--enjoy! Shane M.

Respect the chat, will be difficult for us to speak with all of you because its very late in spain, but thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mike on: Apr 23, 1999 at: 21:42 subject: Hi- I just got back from the Naschy chat, and I had a great time! Count me in again next time! Shane- I rented the Mark Of The Devil 5 (Night of Blind Terror), expecting to see the original Tombs of the Blind Dead (this was before the excellent Elite laserdisc came out), because the box credits were for that. Instead, it's "Night of the Seagulls" inside, the fourth one! Talk about misleading and confusing! By the way, I too really enjoyed the Horror Rises from the Tomb review- excellent!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: mirek on: Apr 23, 1999 at: 22:07 subject: Great time Well, it was a fun chat that lasted almost two hours. Thanks, Humberto, for bringing it all together. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: juan manuel de prada on: Apr 24, 1999 at: 17:58 subject: Double program about naschy Last monday, we could ses in Spain a double program about the great Paul Naschy, with "Licántropo" and "El jorobado de la morgue". Between these two marvellous movies, we could listen the master speaking about himself, about his beginnings, his projects and so on. Cool and marvellous! Paul Naschy was great! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Booksellers- Libreros on: Apr 25, 1999 at: 15:59 subject: Book and Tapes Hi : ) Some friends have advised that we write to let you know that we sell videotapes ( $12.50 each title) and the book from Paul Naschy "Memorias de un Hombre Lobo"($17.00) plus shipping costs.

Welcome, Paul Naschy and his other son, Bruno, to the message board! (Yes, folks, that's them.) Regarding the Hall of Fame, I will try to find out from Fangoria what is the current status of this award. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Shane M. Dallmann on: Apr 28, 1999 at: 15:32 subject: It's true... I'm scheduled to be a father again on June 4th--we already know it's a boy. So if I seem to disappear from the face of the earth for a while, you'll know why. I'm not actually going anywhere, though--we plan to attend the Virginia Fanex show this August, and I have quite a load on the old writing plate at this point--yes, including some major Naschy work. If I don't visit the board as often as I'd like to, please feel free to stay in touch by writing me directly at Shane.Dallmann@gte.net. Best regards! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted by: Humberto on: Apr 29, 1999 at: 08:47 subject: In general Congratulations Shane on bringing new life into the world.
