Time For Cult Spanish Horror!
When people think of classic horror films, the term “Spanish horror” doesn’t usually come to mind.
In the 70’s however, there were a string of European shockers from Spain that are now back for a new generation to enjoy thanks to blu-ray!
“The Vampires Night Orgy!”
This cult gem was also known as “Orgy Of The Vampires”!
The film starred Dyanik Zurakowska, certainly not a household name in the US!
A bus full of tourists stops to visit a small town, not realizing it’s run by vampires!
Check out the trailer:
These horror films have a special style that is unlike American horror films – with a much more colorful visual style and aggressive form of acting…
These gothic horror films are being rediscovered thanks to a variety of home video companies who remaster them – sometimes including lots of bonus material for fans to enjoy…
Seeing Double!
Another trend in the 70’s was to take more obscure films and create a”double feature” – two hits for the price of one! Here’s a unique Spanish horror double bill:
“It Happened At Nightmare Inn” and “Things From The Grave!”
Let’s first check in to the “Nightmare Inn”. Two older sisters run an inn in Spain…when they see how decadent their guests are, they kill them off!
Here is the trailer for the film, known here as “A Candle For The Devil!”
As you can see, an enterprising Producer created a horrific double bill, by adding “Things From The Grave!”
This was a staple of the 70’s: double bills that were full of sex, nudity, horror and suspense!
Movie fans were sometimes surprised by how much fun these double bills were – and great companies like Something Weird have released these double bills for fans to enjoy.
If you want French Vampires instead, then this is for you:
“The Living Dead Girl”
French Director Jean Rollin made some of the more stylish horror films of the 70’s, such as the classic “The Living Dead Girl”.
These are moody, offbeat horror films from Europe that are worth checking out – read about them here:
And finally, if you need more orgies in your life, then sink you teeth into this!
These “Vampire Hookers” included Lenka Novak, who disappeared after provocative films like this!
Oh, she showed up Playboy as well! See all of her revealing career by clicking on my story here:

The tradition of Spanish Horror lives on, in films like the first .REC, and ‘The Orphanage’.
Less lurid than these offerings of course, but just as enjoyable.
Best wishes, Pete.
