We close this season with a special journey to the roots of Iberian horror. Directed by Amando de Ossorio, "La Noche Del Terror Ciego – a.k.a: Tombs of the Blind Dead" marked the beginning of the legendary tetralogy of the undead Templar knights and became a landmark in European fantastic.
A Portuguese-Spanish co-production — partially filmed on national territory — that became a landmark of the 70s horror and of the national genre cinema, crossing exploitation with decadent gothic and religious folklore.
