Danza Macabra Vol. Three: The Spanish Gothic Collection
“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.”

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.
