The BLIND DEAD series Amando de Ossorio 1972-1975

Has anyone seen "Mansion Of The Living Dead"? It is loosely related to the "Blind Dead" movies and features the templars as well as some nude girls. One of the strangest movies I have ever seen in my life and quite a piece of s**t.

I have read in a book that it was meant to be a hommage to Ossorios movies. Oh boy

You can watch some scenes on the internet, just google "Mansion of The Living Dead".

Yes, I used to have the Severin and Anchor Bay UK editions and, although I'm a big fan of Franco, I thought it was terrible.

John Gilling's The Cross Of The Devil is another Templar related film.

Isn't Paul Naschy in that one?

Mansion has some fine actresses in it.

One of my fave Franco movies. It is very disjointed and a bit laughable, but also genuinely eerie in places I find. Something about the corridors in the hotel is really sinister.

No,seems Gilling wanted another lead.
He did co-write.

I've wanted to see THE CROSS OF THE DEVIL ever since I read about it in the 'Book of the Dead'. Never been able to find a copy though.

I'll send you the Youtube link then.
There is no official dvd I'm aware of.

The Templars in Mansion look like they were bleached
