The "Blind Dead" Franchise: Zombies On Horseback!
Description
In this episode we're reviewing a lesser known Spanish zombie franchise. It's the four moves of the "Blind Dead". They were all written and directed by Amando del Ossorio. Each was released under several different titles so it's a bit of a challenge to find them.
None of the stories are related except that each follows a group of zombies (Templar Knights that were killed for their devil worship and human sacrifices) as they terrorize the neighborhood.
These are not your typical zombies. They're more like a zombie/vampire hybrid. They rise each night from their graves to kill people and drink their blood. They look more like skeletal mummies in dirty monk robes. They like to hit people with their swords. They also really, really like to ride zombie horses (which always travel is SLOW MOTION). It's a good thing they have those horses. The zombies themselves are so slow, they'd never sneak up on anyone otherwise.
