Scream Factory's PAUL NASCHY COLLECTION comes to Blu-ray on June 20th!


SCREAM FACTORY BRINGS FIVE CLASSIC PAUL NASCHY FILMS TO BLU-RAY IN ONE AWESOME COLLECTION ON JUNE 20TH!

"Paul Naschy (born Jacinto Molina Álvarez) was Spain's answer to Lon Chaney. He has portrayed many classic monsters – the Wolfman, Frankenstein's monster, Count Dracula, the Mummy and more! He was not only a terrific actor, but an accomplished writer, producer and director." - Scream Factory

I've only dipped a toe into the cinematic realm of Paul Naschy, but this set seems like it'd be a great way to fully immerse myself in the work of one of Spain's most prolific genre filmmakers. Featuring five of Naschy's classic films completely uncut, this is definitely yet another must-own title from our pals at Scream Factory! There's a lot of ground to cover here, so let's get to it!

VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES (1973)

Synopsis: Naschy plays an Indian mystic named Kantaka, who creates a small army of zombified women to do his deadly bidding! The film's original title is translated as REBELLION OF THE DEAD WOMEN, so I'm guessing things turn sour for Paul Naschy (who also has two other roles in the film!) towards the end of this movie.

His head comes to life, and Alaric begins possessing people as he searches for his missing body, and attempts to resurrect his lost love through human sacrifice!
