NASCHY BLOGATHON LINKS! THE FINAL CHAPTER! (probably)

Adios.

Well, friends and parishioners, I'm feeling much better rested this morning, and was pleased to wake up to a few more last-minute entries in what has been, to my mind, an immensely successful blogathon! There will still be some housecleaning to do and summing up to accomplish over the next few days, to say nothing of rehydrating and deep-tissue massage. But enough of my yakkin'! Here are the links that came in just under the wire!

• Fellow LOTT D-er Nate Yapp of the excellent and extensive Classic-Horror.com has created a wonderful fan video condensing some of the most memorable moments of the Waldemar Daninsky series, set to the music of Arcade Fire's "Black Mirror"! And it's pretty amazing how well it fits--for my money, the band should adopt it as the official video! Check it out, linked here and also embedded below, by the editor's kind permission! RAWK!

• Continuing the multi-media MADness, just after the clock struck midnight Thomas D. of Cinema Gonzo hurled his own hat into the ring, with this sprawling and awesome review (including video clips from Venom, Cathedral, Louis CK and Monty Python) of Paul Naschy's medieval morality tale-cum-torture porn, Inquisición!

• Similarly refusing to be bound by the arbitrary concept of clock time, the tireless Dr. Morbius of Krell Labs offers her final experiment in the Naschython, with a thoughtful review of Paul's wild and not-so-woolly 1973 opus, The Hunchback of the Morgue!

And that's the news! If you've been working all week and just couldn't get the entry in before last night (doubtless due to mystical curses and gremlins from beyond seeking to quash the joy of Naschy love as best they can), go ahead and finish up and send me those links! But if everyone's had their final say on the matter, then it is with a tear in my eye and coffee in my hand that I must declare the Paul Naschy Blogathon--officially CLOSED.

Sort of. Probably.

Anyway, thanks again to all the great contributors and commenters for making this little project a success. It's been truly fantastic to see all the Naschy love every day of the week! I'll be archiving the links in perpetuity here at MMMMMovies, so as long as you've got the articles on your blogs, you're a part of the Paul Naschy Blogathon Memorial.

Sum-up post and stats still to come.

 ¡Viva El Hombre-Lobo! ¡Viva Naschy!

The Vicar

NASCHY BLOGATHON LINKS for Friday, December 3, Part 2!

Can it be that the Naschyfest is almost over? Say it ain't so! While I'll relish the opportunity to rest and catch up on the commenting and re-reading of a lot of the posts from this week, it'll be strange to be without the almost hourly deliveries of Naschy Glee I've enjoyed this week. But if this blogathon has taught me anything, it's that the Joy of Naschy is extremely widespread, and a little spark of it lives within us all.

The Vicar, in his dreams

If you live in different time zones and still plan on squeezing your blogathon entry in before the Great Black Clock chimes twelve, fear not--I'll be compiling a final, festival-ending link list tomorrow morning--or more likely early afternoon.  (Psst--if you don't post your Naschy entry till late Saturday, or even Sunday, I probably would still acknowledge it as part of the 'thon--maybe as part of the "Appendices." ;) ) But for those of you who need your measure of Molina before bedtime, here are the links since our last update this morning!

• Creeping Bride of the SHOCK! Theater blog admits her connection of the famous "Shock!" syndicated movie package of  the 50s and 60s to Naschy's legacy is tenuous, but to use her words, "I just had to participate somehow!" Check out her review of Lon Chaney Jr.'s portrayal of The Wolf Man, with extra added Naschy goodness!

• At In it for the Kills, Wednesday Child takes her first bite of the Naschy cake with her review of Count Dracula's Great Love!

• Video Junkie closes out its spectacular series of "El Hombre Mofo" articles, with "Tom & Will's Top 3 Naschy Picks"!  William S. Wilson and Thomas T. Simmons each offer their top choices of flicks that will initiate Naschy newbies into the realm of the PecSlaves.

• Samuel Wilson offers his usual dose of scholarly critical excellence in his consideration of The Devil's Possessed, at one of the web's must-follow movie blogs, Mondo 70!

• Vila Wolf trumps my Naschy poetry with her own Naschy-inspired short story, in which "Daninsky himself explains to us how he became a werewolf." Which time? Never mind, just read Vila's story, "The Letter," at her LiveJournal, Remember; I Hate You All!

• And, at Naschy Blogathon headquarters here at Mad Mad Mad Mad Movies, the Vicar of VHS started the day with a review of a truly unique Naschy flick, the 1977 drama El Transexual! Then he closed it with his own Vicar-ious listing, "Performance Review: My Top 6 Naschy Roles!"

And that's all I've got! Unless there are a few more entries straggling in over the next several hours (or longer, see above), that's the Blogathon! I can't believe I ate the whole thing!

In all seriousness, thanks to EVERYONE who participated and read and commented during this wonderful week of Naschy love. It's been bigger and better than I could ever have imagined, and I'm extremely proud of what we've all done here. Now I know what I had always hoped to be true--that Naschy's legacy will not fade from the earth, for he lives forever in the hearts of his fans. You guys rule!

Time to mosey on. Adios, Jacinto.

So keep watching for the absolute final link-list tomorrow cleaning up any late-posted entries, and then the next day or so after that for any "appendices." I'll also be chiming in with some blogathon stats and a longer concluding piece on what I've taken from the experience. 



For the last time, if I've failed to post your link or overlooked your contribution, EMAIL ME NOW and let me know! vicarofvhs@gmail.com (Incidentally, you can use that same email for fan mail, gift offers, indecent proposals, and thoughts too unspeakable to be given utterance.)

See you tomorrow! Now to sleep!

Love and Naschyness,

The Vicar

• John at Kitley's Krypt offers up his fifth and final entry at the KK Naschyblog, the excellent Daninsky-saga entry (and Naschy's first time directing himself as Waldemar), Night of the Werewolf!

• At Adventures in Nerdliness, Darius Whiteplume takes a moment to look at Naschy's most frequent leading lady, making Julia Saly his ninetieth Nerd Girl of Note! The tireless wizard of all things Nerdy also reviews Naschy's 2004 flick, Countess Dracula's Orgy of Blood! Check it out!

NASCHY BLOGATHON LINKS for Wednesday, December 1, part 3!

The night fires are burning, the howls have begun in the strange locked room in Castle Daninsky, and it's time to update the Naschy Blogathon links for the day! People seem to be catching their breath--gearing up for that final two-day push, I hope! Anyway, here's the links since lunchtime:

Via Unkle Lancifer at Kindertrauma--the greatest thing I have ever seen.

• Vila Wolf makes up for lost time with a couple of unusual but exquisitely appropriate Naschy tributes on her LiveJournal page, Remember; I hate you all. The first is a look at some Naschybilia, original posters from Walk of the Dead (Vengeance of the Zombies?) and the rare Naschy adventure flick, Tarzan in King Solomon's Mines! (Sadly, I don't think Naschy actually plays Tarzan in that one...talk about missed opportunities!)

• Vila's second contribution is a unique one: a Paul Naschy LiveJournal Mood Theme!1.53 RAR'ed (rrrrawr!) megabytes of Naschy goodness suitable for telling the world how you feel. Says Vila: "It's made of 135 tiny 100x50px images of Paul Naschy. I did my best to represent the entire 40+ year career with Movie stills, Behind the Scenes, Publicity and Promotional photos, Posters, and Book covers... I wanted to make sure it was all there." Wonderful stuff!

• Via Kindertrauma.comhttp://www.kindertrauma.com, MMMMMovies pal Unkle Lancifer has dug up one of the GREATEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER: this seven-minutes-plus highlight reel/tribute to the memory of Naschy, featuring all his greatest hits, by Youtube user jetjade!

• Here at MMMMMovies, The Duke of DVD delves diligently into a rarely-seen stateside flick from the early 80s, the sole Naschy peplum, Los Cantabros! Naschy in a toga? I am SO THERE!

• And also at MMMMMovies, your ever-lovin' Vicar offers another of his Naschy sonnets: "The Hunchback's Lament."

That's all for now, but I know for a fact we have more great stuff coming up tomorrow, and maybe even later tonight, so keep watching the web!
