Avco Embassy imported many Euro titles to the US, and THE FURY OF THE WOLF MAN, COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE, THE MUMMY'S REVENGE, and HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB were all part of the TV package. I believe it is perhaps Naschy's finest achievement overall, featuring a character he would return to many times, that of a human monster whose evil is so total and far reaching that no one is safe. And at age 40, usually topless throughout the 70's, luscious Helga Line gets to display her unique Germanic beauty completely nude (only BLACK CANDLES can compare). The incredible DVD includes all the clothed scenes as well; no wonder I couldn't recall all those fabulous see-through nighties! HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB is full of surprises, a joy from start to finish, with all the ingredients (beauty and blood) that make for the ultimate Naschy experience.kochillthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843717929648076583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-75280729914081794832008-12-03T08:16:00.000-06:002008-12-03T08:16:00.000-06:00Hi Decadesman--You certainly won't get much argume...Hi Decadesman--<BR/><BR/>You certainly won't get much argument with that assessment, from fanatics nor from casual Naschy watchers. I've got a soft spot for <I>WWvVW</I>, but then I love me a Monster Mash. <BR/><BR/>Still, HRftT is definitely something special. And Paul is never eviller than when he's with the stunning Helga Line, imo.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting!The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-33096401323243862742008-12-02T15:43:00.000-06:002008-12-02T15:43:00.000-06:00Horror Rises from the Tomb(uncut version), imho, i...Horror Rises from the Tomb(uncut version), imho, is one of his best.<BR/><BR/>Great blog here.

I've got a stack of screeners and other DVDs I have to wade through this weekend, but I'll definitely let you know what I think after (eventually) watching them.

But it might be better to hit that after you know whether you like him or not.<BR/><BR/>And be watching MMMMMovies for further Naschy reviews...I've got several just waiting to be posted, and tons more yet to review. Use the category tags to explore.

Seen a few films, but couldn't tell you which ones they were. I'm interested though. What are some good starting points, and what should be avoided?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
