The BLIND DEAD series Amando de Ossorio 1972-1975

I too would love to see this; a few years back a mate of mine gave me two of these films on DVD under the titles 'Return of the Evil Dead' and 'Horror of the Zombies' on Midnight Video and I really enjoyed them. I believe this series has a strong following so a bumper HD reissue could prove popular.

I love 1, 2 & 4 for different reasons, while 3 can be easily watched for fun :P

The main reason that made look for Tombs was that it was shot in my country (Portugal), and I absolutely loved it, the resurrection scenes are amazing and I can understand why Ossorio re-used them. Return may be better structured and paced, but there isn't really an improvement IMO.
The rural setting on Seagulls is a good change and the grainy/foggy image gives it an almost surreal feel.
Few good things can be said about Galleon but, as mentioned before, the scenes where the Templars come out of the water are very good.

It however,baffles me why two of the greatest British horror films ever are barely given a mention,namely THE WICKER MAN and DON'T LOOK NOW.
Reading the books,it would appear that Frank is a Hammer fan.
Anyone agree?

He wrote 3, actually. Two UK books and one US edition. I have all three and I think you're right, he's a Hammer fan. I had one of them when I was a kid - Monsters and Vampires - and it was like my bible as to what films to watch out for on TV (no video back then). And it had a still from Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue which gave me the creeps a bit - but I still wanted to see it! It was quite a few years later before I did actually get a chance to watch it for myself.

it has to be the first two for me, its an intangible fascination i have for them, Seagulls just bored me rigid (sorry).

I wouldn't be at all surprised if BU reissued the full four film BD saga in HD sooner or later and count me in for a copy when they do!
Superior Spanish slaughterfests imo especially the first two entries.

the UK version of Tombs is still cut isn't it?

might have to be an import if that's the case

Yep, for sexual violence (16 seconds).

I certainly enjoyed the copy of Blind Dead 3 that came as part of the Ultimate Shockfest box-set and would love for Arrow to release the whole collection, can't get enough of them Night's Templar zombie types!!!

Same here. I'd be interested in Arrow doing these if they can get them released uncut. If not, BU it is.

There's a blu ray set in Germany but unfortunately they are butchered.
