2x Paul Naschy von Mondo Macabro

2021 werden kommen:

HOWL OF THE DEVIL

THE FRENCHMAN'S GARDEN

Beide mit Paul Naschy
Mondo Macabro
am Mittwoch

Coming next year to Blu-ray! Two rare films by Spanish horror visionary Paul Naschy!

HOWL OF THE DEVIL is one of Naschy's last great films and also one of his craziest. He plays an insane failed actor who dresses up as various famous villains from films and history while he kidnaps and abuses unsuspecting ladies. HOWL is one of Naschy's most autobiographical films as well as one of his most bitter and cynical.

This will be the film's first official release anywhere in the world. Expect a 4K restoration from the recently discovered negative.

THE FRENCHMAN'S GARDEN is also criminally underseen and absolutely one of the great man's finest films. It's a sort of period set "true crime" film shot through with a healthy dose of the macabre. Troy Howarth, author of the book HUMAN BEASTS: THE FILMS OF PAUL NASCHY, says that it's "arguably Naschy's most impressive film up until this time" and we would have to agree.

This will be the first official release of the film in the US, from a recent, gorgeous 4K restoration.

We don't have firm dates for either release but expect both of them sometime in the first half of 2021 if all goes well.

***FULL L.E. SPECS/COVER ANNOUNCEMENT #2***

The second of our two new Limited Edition Blu titles is THE HOWL OF THE DEVIL!

Spanish horror star Paul Naschy plays a multitude of roles in a tour-de-force performance in one of his best and most personal films, which he also wrote and directed.

Naschy plays Hector Doriani a stage and screen actor who feel himself living in the shadow of his dead twin brother, Alex Doriani, a famous star of horror movies. Alex’s young son, Adrian,
now lives with Hector in an isolated mansion in the countryside. To keep his father's memory alive, the boy imagines himself visited by the spirit of the dead man, incarnated in a series of classic horror character from the past: Mr. Hyde, the Frankenstein Monster, the Phantom of the Opera etc. Also making an appearance in the young child’s fantasies is Waldemar Daninsky, the werewolf character made famous by Naschy himself.

Eric, Alex Doriani’s former butler, now also works for Hector. His main role is to locate and bring to the mansion a series of women who are paid large sums of money by Hector to take part in various
sadistic sex games. To complicate matters even further, the games always seem to end with the women getting slaughtered in various gruesome ways by a black gloved, masked killer.

Also on hand is horror diva Caroline Munro, as Hector’s housekeeper and cook, who is being pursued by a local priest with whom she once had a much-regretted affair.

The whole bubbling caldron of mayhem and misbehavior really boils over when Eric the butler mounts a séance to bring back the body of his dead master. But it is not Alex who appears… and all
hell literally breaks loose.

One of the last films to be directed by Paul Naschy, HOWL OF THE DEVIL was, for many years, impossible to see in anything like its intended form. This first HD presentation of the film shows it at
last in its true glory. One of Naschy’s most savage and most heartfelt films, its reappearance is an event worth celebrating.
