1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to stuff to blow your mind. A production of

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: My Heart Radio just finished rewatching it and made it

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: to the end where the there's a really good stunt fall.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you cut that when the headless

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: body of the Warlock rolls down the steps and it's

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: it's obviously not a dummy, it's a stunt man, headless suit.

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: He's getting the legs going all of us, so we

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: obviously can't see. I think the effects in this movie

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: are better than they should have been. Um in some regards,

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: like I like the scenes where there's the lifting of

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: the head. You know, I'm something of no I wouldn't

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: say I'm a connoisseur, but I I put I pay

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: a lot of attention whenever there's a beheading and there's

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: a head being handled in a film, because I'm always curious,

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: like how good is it going to look? Um, how

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: are they going to do? What are they gonna do

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: the dummy head? Are they going to do? Like? Um,

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, shooting an act will head the right way

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: and making it look like it's detached. And they did

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: a mix here that mostly worked pretty well. I've seen

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: it look rougher in more expensive movies. Well, it depends

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: what you mean by well. I do agree, though, I

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: found I think literally every scene with the severed head hilarious. Well,

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: it is inherent Yeah, there's something inherently hilarious about it too,

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: especially given the seriousness with which it is approached. Did

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: we already start the episode? Hey? Hello, are you listening? Oh? Hey,

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: welcome to Weird House Cinema. My name is Rob Lamb

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: and I'm Joe McCormick. Yeah. We were just talking a

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: little bit about about beheadings and movies, disembodied heads, the

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: living head, um off the beheaded, because that's what we

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: have in today's film. In ninety three's horror Rises from

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: the Tomb, Rob, I feel like this is the third

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: or fourth early seventies Spanish horror movie you have picked?

34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: What What? What? What's got you going down this road? How?

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: How did you end up in in seventies Spain? Oh?

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: Don't There's just something about this, this whole realm of

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: of horror filmmaking. There's just some really there's some great

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: stuff here, and there's a lot of great stuff that

39
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen. So um, it's it's exciting to me

40
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: because the film we're talking about Here to Today hor

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Rises from the Tomb. He is considered a classic of

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: seventies Spanish horror, like this is uh, this film is

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: a big deal. So um, I had not seen it previously.

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: So it was it was, it was one I was,

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: it was interested in. I was reading the synopsis and

46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, as long as this one

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: sort of stays within the parameters, Uh, this could be

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: the film for this week and lo and behold it was. So.

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about this movie going in, but

50
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: I was. I was certainly tempted when you when you

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: shared with me, I think a user review you came

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: across on some website that uh essentially made it seem

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: like this may in fact have also been an ego

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: trip for a particular writer slash actor. Yeah, there are

55
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: accounts of Paul Nashy, the star and writer here and

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: um in his um, his his ego. I have I

57
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: have seen that written about, and yeah, this is uh.

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: I ran across this this particular right up on Letterboxed

59
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: letterboxed dot com. That's l E T T E R

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: B O x D. That's a great UH website to

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: go to if you want listings of films, lists of films,

62
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: and hey, we are on there. We have an account

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: under the user name weird House, and you can go

64
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: there and see all the films that we've talked about

65
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: UH in a nice visual display. And I also have

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: links to the podcast episodes on there. But anyway, this

67
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: particular review, yeah UH a user by the name of UH.

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Their name is spelled like lou l o U, but

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: then it says rhymes with wow, so I guess it's

70
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: lal um Lal writes, when Paul Nashy wrote this movie

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: about medieval Paul Nashy getting decapitated because of alleged Satanist practices,

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: he knew it was really about the executioners being jealous

73
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: of medieval Paul Nashy's good looks slash him being irresistible

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: to women everywhere. When it came time for Paul Nashy

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: to write a hero into the story to save everyone

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: and their wives from the clutches of medieval Paul Nashy,

77
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: he conjured up dreamy present day hunk Paul Nashi. He

78
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: knew that even if Dreamy Paul Nashi wouldn't be able

79
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: to defeat medieval Paul Nashi, he would at least be

80
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: recognized as the hero dreamy Paul Nashi really is. I'd

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: say that's about right. So this movie was not directed

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: by Paul Nashi, but written by Paul Nashy and starring

83
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Paul Nashi in at least three different roles. That's right. Um.

84
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Now I think that I would critique this, uh. This this,

85
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: this review is hilarious and I love it, uh, but

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: it's not accurate in terms in terms of of what

87
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: we get out of the Paul Nashy's and we'll get

88
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: into that the different Paul Nashy characters. There's really one

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: dreamy Paul Nashy character in this film, uh, and he's

90
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: pretty magical. So I was watching this movie on a

91
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: streaming service that is support or did by ad breaks,

92
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: and I was deeply intrigued by the fact that the

93
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: movie has major themes of a floating severed warlock head

94
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: dripping neck blood on things, including like a painting in

95
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: the process of being painted, and so so we'd have

96
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: the head, it would dribble some neck blood, and then

97
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: we would cut to commercial and the commercials are all

98
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: for paper towels and other cleaning products. Is this a coincidence?

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Or has ad targeting got this good? Like they can

100
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: detect the contents of the film and adjust ads accordingly.

101
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you know, when stains are

102
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: at their worst, such as from dripping heads, you need

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: a quality paper towel. The other thing about the streaming

104
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: service that I thought was funny was that it said

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: this movie is rated TV fourteen despite it being absolutely

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: wall to wall severed heads, gratuitous nudity, and dripping blood

107
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: all over the place. Maybe that's like euro rating standards.

108
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe, so, yeah, this is not a

109
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: film for for the children. Um. Though I have read

110
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: that there is a quote unquote clothed cut of this

111
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Uh so they might have shot some alternate scenes in

112
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: which various characters are clothed instead of in various states

113
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: of nudity. Um, But it would be an entirely different

114
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: film that way, So I'm not sure I can recommend

115
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: that even if you can find that cut. Another thing

116
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: I will say about my experience of watching the horror

117
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Rises from the Tomb is that it had two features

118
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: which may seem at odds with each other, but we're

119
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: both simultaneously true. One is that the plot is extremely simple.

120
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: There are not a lot of like twist and turns

121
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: and machinations. And at the same time, at least half

122
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: of the scenes in this movie, I had no idea

123
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: what was going on. By that, I mean I could

124
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: not tell you who some at least some of the

125
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: characters on screen were, how they arrived at, what they're doing,

126
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: why they're doing it, or what it means. Yeah, there

127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: were there were a few scenes in this where I

128
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: think I watched than three times and then consulted a

129
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: plot summary to figure out exactly what the characters were

130
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: attempting to do. Uh huh. Yeah, I had really in

131
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: the first half had a hard time keeping the different

132
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: characters in their relationships straight. I did not know who

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: was who until until the Warlock magic really starts happening

134
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: in the second half. Then I guess it gets easier

135
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: to follow. Yeah, I mean, ultimately, this is a movie

136
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: about the ultimate occult power couple coming back from the dead. Uh,

137
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: to just tear it up. And so once they're back

138
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: in in action, you're you're one on board. Uh you

139
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: can you basically know where things are going and you

140
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: can follow the chaos, but you have to get up

141
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: to that point and it can be a little confusing

142
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: but never boring. Getting It's like the sunny and share

143
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: of Satanism rise from the grave in order to get

144
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: revenge on the what the descendants of the inquisitors who

145
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: put them to the sword? Yes, but also I think

146
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: they just they just want to consume human hearts, drink blood,

147
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: worship Satan and so forth. Yeah, but in the parts

148
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: where I had no idea what was going on, I

149
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: think part of that is dialogue and dubbing. Like this

150
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: movie did have that quality of I would literally be

151
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: watching a scene with my full attention. I'm not on

152
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: my phone, I'm not distracted, full attention. But then afterwards

153
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: I could not summarize what anybody said in the scene.

154
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: So there's a bit of that. But then another part

155
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: I think that made it a little hard to follow

156
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: is that the cinematography drifts more towards that dreamy style

157
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: that you would see in like a full chy movie,

158
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: where I think often our brains are trained, we pick

159
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: up on certain cues of how a scene looks and sounds,

160
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: and like, ah, this feels more like a dream sequence.

161
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't need to pay close attention to the plot

162
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: because it's you know it's it's it's dreamy mode, except

163
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: this actually is just the physical reality of the narrative.

164
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: The world of the living is a dream of the dead,

165
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: which is probably not true, but that sounds like the

166
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: logic you would hear in the seventies horror trailer. Right, yes, yes, yeah,

167
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to like, this movie is

168
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: very memorable, I think, but there is in terms of

169
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: like remembering lines. The most memorable lines for me are

170
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: some of the dumb things that the Painter character Maurice says,

171
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: um are occult power couple. Here. They have plenty of

172
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: times where they basically just say occult things, And while

173
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't recall the details, the feel of it resonates.

174
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: So I would say this is a movie that is

175
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: more to be felt than comprehended. Uh. And again I

176
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: had I had to go back and watch something several

177
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: times just to make sure I was understanding what they

178
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: were doing. But to be clear, UH, this film rocks.

179
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: You should see it if you want to see it.

180
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: If if you're like, well I want to I want

181
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: to see this from myself before we get into the

182
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: main episode, Well let me tell you where you can

183
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: get it. Um, First of all, as far as physical

184
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: media goes, Shout Factory has the Paul Nashy collection out

185
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: on on Blu Ray that in that that has the

186
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: films in it Horror Rises from the Tomb, Vengeance of

187
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: the Zombies, Blue Eyes of the Broken, All Night of

188
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: the Werewolf, and Human Beasts. You can also pick up

189
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Horror Rizes from the Tomb on DVD. I watched it

190
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: on Prime, but it was not great quality and it

191
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: was formatted for television. I think that the version you

192
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: watched was on to BE. It was letterbox edition, but

193
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna have ads that way, so you know,

194
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: it depends how you want to play it. I ended

195
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: up going back on to BE and watching some of

196
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: the scenes again that I needed to revisit. I mean,

197
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I'd say it's worth it just for the hilarious ad cutaways,

198
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: but who knows how the machines working there and they

199
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: pick up on something else with somebody else's experience, right, yeah, yeah, alright, Well,

200
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: the basic elevator pitch here is, yeah, I mean, Horror

201
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Rises from the Tomb. Don't worry if you watch this film,

202
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: Horror will Rise from the Tomb. The Ultimate occult power

203
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520

204
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: tender love story about a warlock and his head. Boy

205
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: meets girl, Boy loses head, boy regains head, Boy gets revenge.

206
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Boy loses head. Well, boy loses Boy loses head, Boy

207
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: loses girl, Boy regains head, Boy regains girl, Boy loses girl,

208
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Boy loses his head. That's the full platte source Eat Boy.

209
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: Woman inherits the Earth from the dark and mysterious Middle Ages,

210
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,440

211
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Fear rises from the tomb, a curse which would bring

212
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: these people to the most terrifying situations. Fear rises from

213
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: the tomb with all the mystery and terror of medieval

214
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: rights and witchcraft, the infernal powers of evil persecuting these

215
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: defenseless beings. Fear rises from the Tomb, a Pro Films

216
00:11:53,559 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: production directed by Carlos out ends of Past Today. We

217
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: shall take them ire want when the supreme day comes,

218
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: that they are sufficiently prepared for the sacrifice. All right, Well,

219
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about about the humans involved in this

220
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: before we get back into the plot. So, as we

221
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: we mentioned already, Paul Nashy did not direct this. It

222
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: was directed by Carlos Arid who lived n seven through

223
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Uh. He was a Spanish director

224
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: of various erotic dramas and Paul Nashy horror films, including

225
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Curse of the Devil from seventy three, Blue Eyes of

226
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: the Broken Doll from seventy four, and The Mummies Revenge

227
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: from seventy five. As a producer, he helped bring the

228
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: films Alien Predator from six uh not Alien versus Predator,

229
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: but not just Alien Predator Alien Predator. He also produced

230
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: or was one of the producers on Claudio Fragasso of

231
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Troll two themes film Monster Dog starring Alice Cooper. What.

232
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I knew about that, or if I did,

233
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, but I've seen that the posters

234
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: and some skills from it. It looks it looks wonderfully awful.

235
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: And as you as we were, we might recall from

236
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: our episode on Troll to I mean, Claudio Fergasso took

237
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: this very seriously, this filmmaking thing, and so he's exactly

238
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: the sort of director you want directing a film called

239
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Monster Dog starring Alice Cooper. So if Troll two was

240
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: a film about how he believed that meat eaters were

241
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: being persecuted by vegetarians. What is the meaning of monster dog.

242
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but if the poster is any indication,

243
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: he pursues this um, this topic, this subject matter via

244
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: some sort of like fleshless killer doberman. Gross. Yeah, all right,

245
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: so that's the director technically, but I don't know the vibe.

246
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: I gets the pretty much top to bottom. This is

247
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: the pole Nashy show, That's right. So who is this guy?

248
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: So Paul Nashy, Yeah, who has story and screenplay credits

249
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: on this. He plays our Warlock character Alaric Dimarnac. He

250
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,239
Speaker 1: also plays this is complicated but Oli rexx um traitorous

251
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: brother Armand Demarnac. And he also plays Armand's uh descendant,

252
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Hugo Demarnak in the present. So three different roles um,

253
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: and all of them have a different feel to them. Though.

254
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: It's weird because his descendant character is not like the

255
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: inheritor of the Warlock throne. He in fact, he basically

256
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: just treats his own descendant as another enemy. Yeah. Yeah,

257
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: and uh, and you know there's there's a I feel

258
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: like there's a different energy to Hugh. I mean Hugo

259
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: the modern day Paul Nashy character in this, which I mean,

260
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean the nineteen seventies. You know, he's still kind

261
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: of a stylish dude, but he's also uh, I mean,

262
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: he's he's he's doomed. He can't stand up to the Warlock.

263
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: He's not like, I am the descendant of of Valeric,

264
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: and therefore I'm the one who can defeat him. No, no,

265
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: it's it's not going to go that way at all. Now.

266
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: In fact, he's a doomed skeptic, and he's the guy

267
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: who like doesn't believe in the power of spirit mediums.

268
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: So you know, things are not going to end well

269
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: for him. Movies like this do not reward people who

270
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: don't believe in the supernatural, and so nash But also

271
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: I would say about Nashi's character, this is not unique

272
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: to him, but he is. This movie has multiple contemporary

273
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: characters who are very much like turtleneck sweater tucked into

274
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: pants guys. Yeah, yeah, uh and and yeah. They they

275
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: just sort of wander into all this where they're like, yeah,

276
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: let's have a seance at this old this oldest state.

277
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: Let's call by let's see what we can call the

278
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: spirit of this dead warlock. That sounds like a good time.

279
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: We'll have some wine, we'll smoke a little bit. Um,

280
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: what could possibly go wrong? I would say Paul Nashi's

281
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: energy as an actor is a st range combination, something

282
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm not really used to. In one sense, he has

283
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: very traditional, almost kind of like boxy or rectangular, uh

284
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: masculine movie star energy. I'm trying to think of who

285
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: to compare, you know, like a like an Ed Begley

286
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: senior or something um. But then on the other half,

287
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: kind of a weirdo worminess that is almost the likes

288
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: of Peter Lori. Yeah, yeah, he has his His physicality

289
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: is um is interesting to behold. Yeah, because because on

290
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: on one level, I mean he's he's clearly ripped as

291
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: well discussed he was. He's a former professional weightlifter, so

292
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: so he's uh, you know, he's quite a physical specimen.

293
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: And yes he he but yet he can he does

294
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: have this kind of wormy quality to him. He is

295
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: the natural energy for playing this eternal outside, this warlock

296
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: that was beheaded in the past and now has to

297
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: uh murder his way into being again in the present.

298
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: So some of you might be wondering well, who is

299
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: Paul Nashi. We're talking about him? He sounds pretty great.

300
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: Um well, he is, in many people's words, the Lawn

301
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: Cheney Jr. Of Spanish horror cinema. So he was born uh,

302
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Jacinto Molina, but he assumed the name Paul Nashi for

303
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: for for acting and yeah, he plays three separate characters

304
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: in this film. Also wrote wrote the screenplay. And this

305
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: is a guy. We can't really appreciate the full richness

306
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: of Paul Nashi in a single episode of Weird House Cinema,

307
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: but I feel like this is a really fun film

308
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: and a great introduction to him at least. So this

309
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: is a guy who was born into a successful furrier's

310
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: family during the Spanish Civil War, who then began to

311
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: pursue a serious adult life of professional weightlifting and architecture.

312
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: But deep down he only wanted one thing. He wanted

313
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: to be the Wolfman, the Wolfman, the Wolfman. Yeah, I mean,

314
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: what if from what I've read that he grew up

315
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, idolizing, uh, these these old horror movies and

316
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: especially the Wolfman roles, the Lon Cheney Jr. Sort of roles,

317
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: and uh and and fate would deliver him in that direction,

318
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: So he started out in various uncredited and sometimes rumored

319
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: roles in various nineteen sixties Spanish productions, stuff like El

320
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: sid Um, an episode of the TV show I Spy.

321
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: But then in he wrote and starred in a film

322
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: that was originally titled Mark of the Werewolf but then

323
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: on the American groundhouse circuit and had the name Frankenstein's

324
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: Bloody Terror, in which he played a werewolf of Valdemar

325
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: Danyinski for the first of many, many times. So this

326
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: was a franchise, Yeah, yeah, he did. I think it's

327
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: like a dozen of these, with titles like Assignment Tear,

328
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: the Werewolf Versus The Vampire Woman, The Fury of the Wolfman,

329
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Dr Jackal versus the Werewolf, Curse of the Devil, Night

330
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: of the Howling Beast, Night of the Werewolf, the Beast

331
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: and the Magic Sword, Howl of the Devil, like Cantrapass,

332
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: The Moonlight Murders, and Tomb of the Werewolf. Most of

333
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: these films are from the seventies and eighties, but they

334
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: ultimately spanned five decades, and they're They're not a continuous

335
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: narrative by any means, with the plots varying wildly like

336
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: there's somewhere he goes to Asia and like goes to

337
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: Tibet in Japan to try and treat his lecanthropy. Um.

338
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: But a number of them look phenomenal and they're just

339
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: total werewolf features. Well, I feel like this sheds new

340
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: light on a major flub in the movie that really

341
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: seems like it should have been caught, which is that

342
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: in the English dub, at least, there's one part where

343
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: they try to say the word liking thropes, but instead

344
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: they say, I think lincoln thropes like President Lincoln. Yeah, yeah,

345
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: I noticed that that was I actually went back and

346
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: looked at that on to be with the captions on

347
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: and the captions for this one said you have empires

348
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: in Lincoln's robes instead of you are vampires and Lincoln

349
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: tropes lincoln thropes, but they said lincoln thropes. Yeah, Lincoln thropes,

350
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: Lincoln thrope. The dubs has lincoln thropes. They mean like

351
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: like they're talking about lecantrope. But yeah, but we'll come

352
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: back to the formal charges against Alaric in a bet.

353
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: But back to back to Nashi here Um. Mostly it

354
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: was this werewolf character that he returned to but the

355
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: warlock character in this oleric he does come back in

356
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: a later two film called Panic Beats apparently and plays

357
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: the character once More's that about does he become a

358
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: disco warlock? What's the Beats refer to? I'm not sure

359
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: comes back from the grave. But and it may not

360
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: even be connected because, like I said, much of many

361
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: of these werewolf films. It's not like it's a concise narrative.

362
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: It's like, let's bring let's bring this this guy back again,

363
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: let's have another adventure. It doesn't mean it has to

364
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: actually makes sense or be stitched into the grand fabric

365
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: of the thing. Okay, Like you can have many Dracula movies,

366
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: but they're not like all direct sequels to each other

367
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: with continuous or plot continuity exactly. Yeah. Well now, but

368
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: I am thinking beats that because you look at Nashi

369
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: is the warlock in this movie, and he does look

370
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: like he could tear up the dance floor, like he

371
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: would get out there in the lights. I mean, he'd

372
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: be doing the whole what's the you know, the pointing dance,

373
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: the John Travolta one, I know, the one. I don't

374
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: know what it's called. Okay, So just just a little

375
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: more more on Nashy here. I I looked into him

376
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: a bit. I was reading an article, uh, actually a

377
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: chapter in a book titled an Icon Rises from the

378
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: Grave The twenty one century Cult Stardom of Paul Nashi,

379
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: written by Andy Willis. Willis writes that Nashy was central

380
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: to quote the development, revival, and reinvention of horror cinema

381
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: in Spain. The paper mostly centers around the cult like

382
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: revival of appreciation for for Nashi late in his life

383
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: and career, as film fans and filmmakers in Spain and

384
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: beyond began to reevaluate his film, but it does put

385
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: a point out that, yeah, he was very much operating

386
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: in a time when horror was seen as very low

387
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: brow in Spanish cinema. Like, if you've had any self respect,

388
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: you'd be working in serious cinema. And if you were

389
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: doing horror, than like what are you doing? But what

390
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: was serious cinema at the time. Peplin movies like The

391
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: Sword and Sandal stuff. Yeah, yeah, just serious dramas about

392
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: history and and so forth. You know nothing about I mean,

393
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: this is about history, though, this is about an historic warlock.

394
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know I don't know why the the

395
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: industry was so down in this film at the time.

396
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll come back. We'll discuss more about this, uh,

397
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: this wonderful performance as we continue. But there are there

398
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: are other human beings we need to mention, at least

399
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: in passing. Okay, we mentioned earlier. This is a power couple.

400
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: It's not just ol Eric, it's all Eric and Mobile.

401
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: He has to bring Mobile, uh back to life. Mobile

402
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: is played by Helga Lena. Helga is back. She was

403
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: the titular Laura Lie from the luralized Grasp, you know,

404
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: the gorgeous redhead German born actor who made a name

405
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: for herself mostly in Spanish cinema. Um. Both of these

406
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: films came out in seventy three, so if you want

407
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: to hear more about her, go back to that episode.

408
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: But she was born in as of this recording is

409
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: still still alive and um she worked from one through

410
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and six and played a lot of fifatals

411
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: characters and horror movies, various genre films, and yeah, it

412
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: was pretty pretty big in Spanish cinema. And in this

413
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: she once more gets to absolutely slay multiple people and

414
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: also consume their hearts. Yeah, I was noticing incredible amounts

415
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: of overlap with the lower Lies Grasp. I was not

416
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: prepared for how much these movies would have in common,

417
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: even down to what looks like it could be just

418
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: a coincidence, but what looked like the same shooting locations. Coastline,

419
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: that really dreary coastline, the dreary lakeside. It looked exactly

420
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: like the lake in lauraized Grasp, and I would almost

421
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: be surprised if it was not shot in the same place.

422
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: But maybe I don't know. I think the actual I

423
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: don't know about the about the lake, but the actual

424
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: estate that we see I believe was was in Paul

425
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: Nashi's family, like that was that was his family's a

426
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: state there that they filmed on. But it's not just that. Okay,

427
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: So both movies feature Helga Lena as a kind of

428
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, loosely a vampires of sorts, some kind

429
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: of you know, the creature that comes back from the

430
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: grave or comes back through history to slash people with

431
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: fingernails like in ways that leave these like you know,

432
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: parallel slashes on their bodies and then extract their hearts

433
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: and eat them. That Both movies are about this, right

434
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: though in the Laura Ie she changes into an actual

435
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: monster and in this movie she just gets more naked,

436
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: that's true, but she still does the fingernail slashes there.

437
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: This movie has has Wolverine style slashing. But she's great

438
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: and she really vamps it up. Yeah, they're great scenes

439
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: where she and uh and the Warlock are arguing about

440
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, when they're gonna eat hearts? Are we're gonna

441
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: eat hearts now or we're gonna have to eat them later? Yeah?

442
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: What is the plan? When do we when? When? When

443
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: are we praising Satan right now? Uh? No, we need

444
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: to wait. There's so many moons we need to wait.

445
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: The exact details of their plan or maybe a little vague.

446
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: But she makes a good point. I mean, he's like, no,

447
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: we need to we'll do the sacrifice to to Satan

448
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: later and then we'll eat hearts then. And I think

449
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: she makes the point that but if we were angry

450
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: until then, we're gonna be making bad decisions. So we

451
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: need to eat at least one heart now. Yeah, And

452
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: she's like, honey, we've been dead for a long time.

453
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: We we've got to eat. Yeah. All right, though, So

454
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: these are These are the two most impressive actors in

455
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: the film, but we have some other roles worth mentioning.

456
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: Uh Emma Cohen plays, who lived nineteen forty six through

457
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, plays the character Elvira, not to be confused

458
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: with Elvira the Horror host. So Emma Cohen was a

459
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: Spanish actor as well as a writer and director. In fact,

460
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: in two eleven she apparently directed a short film adaptation

461
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: of Jorge Luis Borges the The Aleph. She was also

462
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: the longtime partner of Peruvian born Spanish director Fernando Fernan

463
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: Gomez until his death, but she before this, she did

464
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: a lot of B movies and horror films in the seventies,

465
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: including seventy five Night of the Walking Dead, Jeff Franco's

466
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: Five Count Dracula. That's one that starred Christopher Lee as Dracula,

467
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Herbert Lom as Van Helsing, and Klaus Kinski as quote unquote,

468
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: uh Wrin feared. I don't know why Wren feared in

469
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: the the IMDb credits, but he is uh co and

470
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: also had an uncredited role in nineteen seventies Nicholas and

471
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: Alexandria and uh yeah, she in this she is she basically,

472
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: she's she's our final girl. She's one of the two

473
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: daughters of one of the villagers in the place that

474
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: they go to. Yeah. Now I'm gonna admit that I

475
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: again had a hard time keeping the different characters and

476
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: there the human characters in their relationships straight. So if

477
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: you're asking, like who's married to who or whatever, I

478
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I had to go back and I like,

479
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: at first, I was like, I guess this was Hugo's wife,

480
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: but it's not. No, it's not Hugo's wife. That's a

481
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: different character entirely. Uh. Well, we'll summarize all that in

482
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: a bit. Okay, there were a number of laugh out

483
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: loud moments uh for me in this movie. But I

484
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: would say the biggest one, the best one, is a

485
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: scene where we have a guy who's been seeing visions

486
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: of dark eyes staring at him, uh in the night,

487
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: and and he's and he can't stop seeing them when

488
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: he closes his eyes. So he's got to paint. He's

489
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: a painter, and he's like painting on a canvas and

490
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: then suddenly above the canvas appears a laughing, severed head

491
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: that's just going oh and it and dripping blood all

492
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: over the painting, and it's so good. But this painter,

493
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: like his dopiness makes it so much better. Yes, he's

494
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: haunted by the head of Aliric, and he's like, I

495
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I keep seeing his head.

496
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: I gotta paint it, I gotta paint it. And he's

497
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: and he's painting this like sub night Gallery quality painting

498
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: you know of of this headless body holding not Alaric's

499
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: head but modern Paul Nashy character's Hugo's head. Uh, pretty great,

500
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, this, this is the This painter character, Maurice

501
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: was played by Victor Berrera. I couldn't find any dates

502
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: for for this actor, but yeah, he's a wonderful doom

503
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: idiot in this. The character is the the The actor.

504
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: Berrera appeared in such Spanish films as nineteen seventies in

505
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: the Folds of the Flesh, the seventy three Nashy film

506
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Count Dracula's Great Love, and also the Nashi film Hunchback

507
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: of the Morgue, as well as the nineteen seventy three

508
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: film Green Inferno. Who was Count Dracula's Great Love? I

509
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: don't know, I haven't. I'm guessing. I mean, it could

510
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: be his career. You know, he married to his word.

511
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: But I imagine it's it's some it's some woman. Generally,

512
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be the I'm married to the blood. Yeah. Um, now,

513
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: one more thing about Brera. He was also in the

514
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: seventy three Judy Geeseon film A Candle for the Devil,

515
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: and as a director and writer, he did the ninety

516
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: eight film The Terrorist. He also tucks his turtlenecks into

517
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: his pants. He does. Yes. Now we're gonna skip on

518
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the actors here, though there are some

519
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: other fun performances, but skip into the music. Carmelo a

520
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: Ornala did the music. He lived through two thousand and two,

521
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: and all I have to say is I hope you

522
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: like creepy organ music and weird percussion sounds, because this

523
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: film is loaded with it. Yeah. It's got this steady, slow,

524
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: ascending organ melody that just repeats and repeats and repeats. Honestly,

525
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: it got a little monotonous for me. I I thought

526
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: it fit this film like a glove. I'm not saying

527
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: it would work in every film. I'm not saying I

528
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: need a copy of it or I'm looking for a

529
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: high grade vinyl release. But for this film, I thought

530
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: it worked. Yeah, it's the appropriate vibe, but yeah, I

531
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: mean you'll hear it quite a few times now. Burnalla

532
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: here He was a long time Spanish composer of many films,

533
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: including Torment and seventy three's Count Dracula's Great Love. Oh

534
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: he wrote the love theme from Count Dracula's Great Love.

535
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: One assumes Uh. One more note about a person in

536
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: this Uh, there's a special effects The special effects were

537
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: by Antonio Molina and I don't have dates for him,

538
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: but he This is a guy that apparently has been

539
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: working in special effects since the nineteen sixties, starting with

540
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four's Uh. This is actually the very Sullivan

541
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: film Pyro the Thing without a Face that we referenced

542
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: in um Our Fiend without a Face uh episode. But

543
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: Molina here is apparently still working today in Spanish productions

544
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: and even worked on six episodes of Game of Thrones.

545
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: Also served as an armor or supervisor in the Spain

546
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: unit for such big films as Wonder Woman and Terminator

547
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: Dark Fate. So kind of a cool connection there. This

548
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: is not a film that you watch and you think, Wow,

549
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I guess they had just tons of money to spend

550
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: on special effects. So I guess, as I kind of

551
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: alluded to earlier, I feel like the effects in this film,

552
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: such as they are, look pretty good. Though it is

553
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: that that early seventies Eero style of like very bright

554
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: red almost orange blood. Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's alarming.

555
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I got the TV fourteen. That what

556
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: you perhaps, Yeah, all right, well, let's bust into the

557
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: plot a little bit, Joe, take us back to the

558
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: mid fifteenth century. Is that when it is mid fifteenth century,

559
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: I think they say, I think that's what the narration says. Yeah,

560
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: this movie begins with the World's Most Depressing Parade. You're

561
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: watching like some people kind of tromp through a vast

562
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: We see them like on a plane with mountains in

563
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: the background. So it's the kind of landscape that maybe

564
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: looks like if it had been the true colors, it

565
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: would have been beautiful, but instead it looks just profoundly,

566
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: deeply unhappy and uh. And it kind of reminds me

567
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: of some of the landscapes in Monty Python and the

568
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Holy Grail in that way that like something about the

569
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: film style and the way the colors come through just

570
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: makes the landscape very drab and unpleasant, but it's fitting,

571
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: especially when we find out what the um procession is about.

572
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: It's about killing and tormenting people accused of sorcery and witchcraft. Right,

573
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: we were here for the execution of a warlock and

574
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: a witch, and there's some there's some narration. You get

575
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: a voice over. I think that's saying like I don't

576
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: remember the exact words, but it's basically like France, you know,

577
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: before indoor plumbing. Wow, do you think war and disease

578
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: are bad? How about satan? Yeah, superstition, um, ignorance, violence,

579
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: They prepare you for all of it here and the

580
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: inquisitors troops here look to me like two faces Henchman

581
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: and Batman forever. They've got these goofy red sock masks

582
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: over their heads. That that that was really kind of nice.

583
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: And this is also where we get it's so the

584
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, the warlock and the witch are taken to

585
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: the place of execution. I don't know why it needed

586
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: to be in the middle of this vast field with

587
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: the mountains and the stream, but but yeah, that's where

588
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: they take them and then there's some kind of you know,

589
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: church official or something who reads out the charges to them. Yeah,

590
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: and I think Maurice's ancestor is one of these people

591
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: as well, so he technically has a double role. Also,

592
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: one of these people's is olriks brother, who's kind of

593
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: like this one eyed Paul Nashy character with like a

594
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: smug grin on his face and a scar. Uh. That

595
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: is Olrik's brother Armand who is it's implied here that

596
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: he kind of helped do his brother in here. So yeah,

597
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: they're but they're both played by Nashi, So it's Nashy

598
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: punishing Nashi. Yeah, and they read out a full list

599
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: of charges, which in addition to you are vampires and lycanthropes.

600
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: There's you have drunk human blood of both the living

601
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: and the dead. You have eaten flesh. You have celebrated

602
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: the Black Mass with bloody sacrifices of the newborn and

603
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: of young girls who have adored Satan and all followers

604
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: of his Sabbath. Yes, verbatim, I believe. So. Yeah, they

605
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: put the sorcerer's to death, Warlog gets his head opped off.

606
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: They like, I don't know how they kill the witch.

607
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: They like hang her upside down or something, and they

608
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: they she screams. It seems like they're convincing to flog

609
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: her and then cut. She's presumed dead. Now here's the

610
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: thing we discover, like, I don't know why. This is

611
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: when we find their bodies later in the movie. So

612
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: this is gonna be hundreds of years later. Obviously they

613
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: want to be resurrected from the dead. But Paul Nashy's body,

614
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: he's like an incorruptible saint, Like his body is all there.

615
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: It still looks like, you know, totally fresh, and his

616
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: head looks totally fresh. Meanwhile, Helga Linay's body is a

617
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: skeleton with a wig on it. Yeah, different, different, supernatural. Well,

618
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: I guess here's the thing. He is the warlock. He

619
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: is the one whose body is is flowing with unnatural energies. Um.

620
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: She is his, his great love and therefore she benefits

621
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: from this sorcery. But she and she herself is a

622
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: different type of entity. And later on in the film,

623
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: we we had spelled out directly that they're they're slightly

624
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: different rules for for killing one versus the other. By

625
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: the way that opening execution is carried out via a

626
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: decree from Carcasson, which is was a French fortified city,

627
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: and of course is also the name of a great

628
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: German tile based board game which absolutely does not have

629
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: a Warlock execution expansion, but I think clearly needs one.

630
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: Oh never played it. What's a German style? Is that

631
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: like Settlers of Catan kind of stuff? Yeah? Yeah, this

632
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: one is one. It's a very calming, very relaxing board game.

633
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: It's all about building walled cities and uh connecting them

634
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: with roads with tiles, so it kind of you build

635
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: it as you go, and then it began you score everything,

636
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's very cool. Okay, cut to the

637
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: present day and then Robert, I'm gonna need some help here.

638
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: Who who are the people? Are main characters? We we

639
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: have the Paul Nashy guy, and we have Maurice the painter,

640
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: and then we have two women and then some other people. Yeah,

641
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: this was that I had to go back and put

642
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: all this together again. But okay, we have we have

643
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: all a Rex descendant um and well technically Urmand's descended,

644
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: but also like his all Rex descendant, this is modern

645
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: day contemporary Paul Nashi Hugo and his gal is Sylvia

646
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: then we have Hugo's painter friend Maurice, who is also

647
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: he's a descendant of one of the witch hunters or

648
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: executors here, and his gal is Paula. Okay, is so

649
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: is our Sylvia and Hugo the ones where Sylvia is like,

650
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: why don't we get married? And Hugoes like, because I'm

651
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: paul Nashi basically yeah, and I don't really remember what

652
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: Maurice and Paula's whole vibe is other than they love

653
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, and and so basically they're all like like, hey,

654
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: we should uh. I forget exactly how they reached this point.

655
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: Maybe this little is going on, but they're like, we

656
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: should go out to the country to um to Hugo's

657
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: of chalis out there, and we should have we should

658
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: get this. We should hire somebody to do a seance

659
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: so we can get in touch with his head, which,

660
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: by the way, Maurice keeps seeing in his dreams and

661
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: in his visions as he's drawn to paint grotesque scenes

662
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: of decapitation. Well, now, wait, I thought they did the

663
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: seance before they went to the chalets, don't they do? Well,

664
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: they're still hanging out there, still in the city, I

665
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: think that's right. Okay, so they do the Yes, they

666
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: do the seance first, and that's the inspiration to then

667
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: go out into the country and try to find the

668
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: body and the head of Alric, which are which are

669
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: deposited in different places. Yeah. So I think Maurice is like,

670
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm seeing this head in my dreams and I'm painting

671
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: it and I'm not very smart. And Hugh goes like,

672
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe in heads. And then they're like, well,

673
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: let's have a seance and that that'll tell us what

674
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: to do. And then the medium at the seance is like,

675
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: there's a severed head that you must dig up, and

676
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: it's up at your up in the village, at your chale,

677
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: and that's he's buried in the cloisters. Head is in

678
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: the crypt of the monastery, and yeah, our our our city,

679
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: humans here are here, Like, well, we got to get

680
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: these two back together again. Let's get the head in

681
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: his body back together. And so they set out only

682
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: good can come from it. Yeah, I remember they argue

683
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: about this is one of the scenes where Hugo is

684
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: skeptical because they're like, you must believe what Madame Arena said,

685
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: because you know, a spirit was obviously choking her from

686
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: beyond the grave, and um, Hugo is like, oh, it

687
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: must have been she must have put on makeup to

688
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: show those bruises. But then why are they trying to

689
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: resurrect a spirit that was choking somebody? That seems like,

690
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's red flag number one that like,

691
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: you should not resurrect the spirit. Yeah, I think so,

692
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: But what do they do? They jump in the car

693
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: that they head out into the countryside, and uh, and

694
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: here we kind of get into the We initially get

695
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: into sort of the Texas chainsaw masker territory of up

696
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: the city folks have come out into of the country

697
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: and now they're encountering country folk who are suspicious and dangerous.

698
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: Well and yeah, and it was weirdly more, I don't know,

699
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: there's politics within this village or something. So like they

700
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: get attacked on the road by bandits, and then some

701
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: other guys show up too, and they're like, hey, these

702
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: are the bandits, and they catch the bandits and just

703
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: like vigilanty justice murder them. But then also I think

704
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,479
Speaker 1: the vigilanties then are essentially bandits also, and they tried

705
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: to extort money from from the heroes. Yeah, and end

706
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: up selling them a car because they think the when

707
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: the bandits initially attacked, end up wrecking the car and

708
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: they're like, whoa, so you one for three thousand. And

709
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: of course the lead bandit is is watching as a

710
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: Hugo busts out this big roll of money, and you know,

711
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: he's eyeball and it' like, oh, I'm definitely gonna rob

712
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: these people later. Yeah, and that is indeed what they're

713
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: plotting to do later. We'll come so here, I got

714
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: I got really confused about how this was happening. But

715
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: do if I'm gonna do like he go and the

716
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: rest of them hire the villagers to just dig up

717
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: all around this ancient church and find they're looking for

718
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: a box that has a warlock head in it. Yeah. Yeah,

719
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: and I think the villagers um are kind of interested

720
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: in it because there's also talk of there being some

721
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: sort of a treasure, so they're like, yeah, we'll help

722
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: you dig this up. He will even go to that

723
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: place where they say a demon stalks at night, so

724
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: they're this weird mix of of very superstitious but also

725
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, up for whatever. Um. One of the villagers

726
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: here that we meet is this umm, this this Alan character. Uh,

727
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: and this is the he has two daughters. He has

728
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: two daughters. One is Chantal and the other is el Vidra.

729
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, yeah, I didn't know where some of

730
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: these characters came from. But so some of the villagers

731
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: they find a box they like, dig it up, and

732
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: they again correct me if I'm wrong. I think they

733
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: think it's treasure. So they get real excited and they

734
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: open it up like they blow torch the law and

735
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: crack it open. But when they crack it open, it's

736
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: not treasure. It is a warlock head. And then the

737
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: warlock head hypnotizes them and turns them into like like murderers. Yeah,

738
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: olris head hypnotizes them and particularly hypnotizes Alan here the

739
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: father of Elvira, and has him go around with this

740
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: huge scary scythe uh this this wonderful crooked cutting implement

741
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: that that again, I think it's quite scary, and has

742
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: him going around butchering people with that. Yeah. So for

743
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: a while here there just seems to be kind of

744
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: like random roaming sickle guys, and they are there. Some

745
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: people are just getting killed and other people are getting

746
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: hypnotized to go work for the warlock head the head right,

747
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: because it's not a full warlock yet. It's in fact,

748
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: the most hilarious detail is that they there's like a

749
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: scene where they literally go down into the crypt and

750
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: they start taking orders from the warlock head. He's like

751
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: he can't move his head. So it's really funny, like

752
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: how far his eyes moved back and forth when he's

753
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: looking at the different people, Like what's this? Now? You

754
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: know you must do this very uh you know, templar

755
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: esque in terms of, you know, the charges that were

756
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: leveled against the Templars about the worship of decapitated heads,

757
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: and reminds me a little bit of the treatment of

758
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: this idea in C. S. Lewis's that hideous strength as well.

759
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: But but yeah, the head needs the body and needs

760
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: people to help with the body, and some blood needs

761
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: to be spilled on along the way, and so we

762
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: do get a series of sickle murders, including Alan killing

763
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: his own daughter Chantel here in a pretty terrifying scene.

764
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: This is a scene I had to watch a couple

765
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: of times because I thought it ended up being uh,

766
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, blocked and you know in a way that

767
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: and shot in a way that that I found rather effective. Uh.

768
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: There's there's a certain art to having your your brutal

769
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: you know, Jallow style murders in a film and uh,

770
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 1: and they don't always work. Sometimes they come off very fake,

771
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: or they come off more about showing the blood than

772
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: sort of you know, teasing the idea of the violence.

773
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: So this is not one of those scenes where we

774
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: see a lot of like parting of flesh and see

775
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: heart getting ripped out and so forth. But there's just

776
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: like this sudden attack and then the sickle comes out

777
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: and there's a sound effect. I thought it worked really well.

778
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: Oh but there is the ladder in this movie. There's

779
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 1: plenty of that. But there's one where Helga Leanna literally

780
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: just like reaches into a guy's chest cavity with her

781
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: fingers and prizes chest apart to get that heart. Yeah,

782
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: the chest cat. This is one of those films where

783
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: you human flesh is just like putty to the undead. Uh,

784
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: and they can just rip right in there and pull

785
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: out any organ they want. This is another sequence though,

786
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: where I was like, when people were getting sickled, I

787
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: did not know who was who, and I was confused

788
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: when somebody like it seems like somebody turns up dead

789
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: and then the next scene somebody goes, well, she's sleeping now,

790
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: and I was like, but wasn't she dead? But then

791
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: I think maybe they're talking about another character who was present,

792
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Yeah, this is one of those

793
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 1: films too, where on one hand the script was allegedly

794
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: written in like two days, But on the other hand too,

795
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: it's like we're dealing with the Grindhouse era dubbing, where

796
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't really about uh, necessarily making sure that all

797
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: the intricacies of the of the original dialogue are maintained,

798
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: it's about getting that product out right. So at some

799
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: point after this, there is a scene where both Sylvia

800
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: and Maurice get hypnotized to go work for the Warlock. Right, So, like,

801
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: Maurice goes out walking and then he gets hypnotized by

802
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: hypnotized Sylvia and they all end up going down into

803
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: the crypt and that's where the Warlock head starts talking

804
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: to them. This was another laugh out loud scene for me. Again,

805
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: anytime the head is talking without the body on it

806
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: very funny, and he gives a full Bond villain monologue.

807
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 1: But as a severed head sitting in a box talking

808
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: and I had to transcribe this. I thought it was great.

809
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: So is like you, Maurice, Uh, he says the last name.

810
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember what it is. You know, you, Maurice,

811
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: with the blood of my enemies running through your veins,

812
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: you will serve and help me accomplish my vengeance. Today

813
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: the faithful companion mobile de Lacrex will return and in

814
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: the space of seven moons, and when the heavens are propitious,

815
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: our power will be at its maximum strength, so that

816
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: we can exterminate all those who executed us, and our

817
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: unbounded hatred will make all mankind tremble, and thereby we

818
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: will thus be avenged. It sounds like a plan, and

819
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: thereby we will thus be avenged. I think this warlock

820
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: in his day job may have been a lawyer. It's

821
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: very contract de kind of language. Well you know, back

822
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's fair back in the day,

823
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: Like what was a warlock but a lawyer who dealt

824
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: mainly with one client, that being the the lord of

825
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: the pit himself, Lord Satan. But also in the scene

826
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: that this is I think the resurrection scene where where

827
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: the Warlock and Mobile are sort of brought back, so

828
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 1: like they put the Warlock's head back on his body,

829
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: and somehow they turned Mobile from a skeleton with a

830
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: wig on into hell gall and a oh god, this

831
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: is seen as great. Yes, So the the resurrected um

832
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: olirek here, but he's one piece again. He places the

833
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: unconscious Sylvia upon the skeletal remains in the casket, slices

834
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: open her chest, and any kind of um necro philadically

835
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: resurrects Mabel. Mabel, she like kind of like lays on

836
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: top of these two bodies in the casket, and in

837
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: the next shot is uh, Mabel is rising up out

838
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: of the casket, like the bones of her old bones

839
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: like spilling to the side, and she's back baby. And

840
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: then Alaric kills um Alan and cuts out his heart.

841
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: So just a great sequence of events here. I guess,

842
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: like I said, they're they're a power couple. You can't

843
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: help you feel their energy and get behind him here. Yeah,

844
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 1: they're then they're clearly happy to be reunited. They're ready

845
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: to go do copious evil together. Yes, So I think

846
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: there's like a scene where they're they're getting it was

847
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: not clear but they're like getting revenge on the descendants

848
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: of the people who who executed them. I think they're

849
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: just going in like attacking random villagers. I guess. I

850
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: guess this was part of the vengeance, or it might

851
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 1: have just been a situation with like we gotta power

852
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: up and eat more hearts. But yeah, there's they're these

853
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: wonderful scenes where Alaric and Mabel go off to love

854
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: up and kill other characters. I'm not sure these are

855
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: necessarily characters that we had met before. Mabel finds a

856
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: young villager dude, she strips nude and he gets nude,

857
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: and then she backscratches him to death. And then Alaric's

858
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: occult charisma causes a villager woman to strip nude, so

859
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: he strips nude, and this is when we get to

860
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 1: see physique by Nashi here, and then they climb into

861
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: bed together. Cut to villager dude with his back slashed

862
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: cut two nude woman dead with her heart cut out.

863
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: I think this is a John Saxon situation though, where

864
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: like Nashy, clearly he's like, I gotta show my chest

865
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: in this movie. People need to see these muscles. Um,

866
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: So he found ways to work it in I had.

867
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: It may also made me look up, as with John Saxon,

868
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,959
Speaker 1: I had to look up old bodybuilding photographs and yeah,

869
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: you see something. I found some old Paul Nashy shots

870
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: of him in like full bodybuilding mode and uh yeah,

871
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Okay, Now there's some like Magic Dynamics where

872
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 1: there's like a magical amulet that pops up sometime around

873
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: here in the movie, and I was trying my hardest

874
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: to figure out did we already know something about about

875
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: this or is this just out of nowhere? Like, oh, yeah,

876
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: there is a an amulet that will defeat the warlock. Yeah,

877
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: this kind of comes out of nowhere. As I recall Elvira,

878
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: the local girl and ultimately she's gonna be our our

879
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: final girl here, she's like, oh, by the way, I

880
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: just remembered something. There's this Thor's hammer and hammer amulet

881
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: and it can destroy powerful undead creatures. Oh, so useful

882
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: information to suddenly have. And um and also we later

883
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: learn and I don't remember how we learned this, but

884
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: we learned that Thor's Hammer will not outright destroy a

885
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: female undead a female resurrected being. No, for that, you

886
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: need a long silver needle. Right, so yeah, the hammer

887
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: only works on Paul Nashi, the warlock. Paul Nashy. I

888
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: I remember how they find this out. They open up

889
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: a book and they're reading the book and I'm like,

890
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: what is this book? I don't wrote if they ever

891
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: explained what the book is. They just have a book

892
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: that tells you how to kill the warlock. This was

893
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: the research portion of the movie. I forgot about this.

894
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: But so there is a scene where after this, like,

895
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: the remaining humans include Hugo, who is unhypnotized at this point.

896
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: That's that's normal, that's regular. Paul Nashi um and uh

897
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: and Elvira and I think maybe somebody else, I don't know.

898
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 1: Those zombies attack the house and uh, and it's really

899
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: This was also very funny because I think we get

900
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: Alan or Ellen, the guy from the village, talking to

901
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: Elvira and he's like, Elvira, my daughter opened the door

902
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: and he sounds like Dracula, but she's like, oh dad.

903
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: But when the zombies get into the house, they are

904
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: vocal fry zombies. They're just wandering the hall is going

905
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: uh NonStop until there's a torch stand off. Paul Nashi

906
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: lights up a torch and waves it at them. He

907
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: does an awful lot of waving that torch. That goes

908
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: on for a while, and eventually he gets him out

909
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: of the house. He's like shoo, shoot and then you know,

910
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: they get out of the door, and then he I

911
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: think tries to burn them, but I don't know if

912
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: it exactly works, because later he's like looking for their

913
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: bodies in the lake or something he kept. There's a

914
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: there's a brief burning man stunt here where he catches

915
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: one of the one of the zombies on fire, or

916
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: at least catches the pants in the back on fire.

917
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, basically Night of Living Dead scenario here with

918
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: dead villageers. They're able to successfully successfully fight them off

919
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: until dawn. After this, Maurice comes back the painter guy

920
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: and he's like, well I'm not hypnotized by the warlock anymore. Um,

921
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: and Hugh goes like, oh great, well, then I need

922
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: you to go help me do something. We're gonna need

923
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: an axe and some wood, and then he says to Elvira.

924
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: So they're leaving the house and he's like, you stay here.

925
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: It's going this is a direct quote. It's going to

926
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 1: be disagreeable. You'll be in no danger even if you're alone.

927
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: What's the base this for that? I guess it's because

928
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: it's it's daytime. The sun is Oh yeah, that could

929
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: be it, and she shouldn't see what they're going to do.

930
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: What they are going to do? This is the same

931
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: the following sequence. I think I watched three different times

932
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 1: and finally consulted a summary to to really nail down

933
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: what they were trying to do in this sequence, what well,

934
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: what are they trying to do? So they go to

935
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: the lake and the lake is making bubbling tar pit sounds,

936
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know why, but they have to live

937
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: an axe and they have firewood, and they have like

938
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: a big long pole with a hook on it, like

939
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: they're going to drag the lake. Apparently they have come

940
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: out here to find the bodies of the zombies from

941
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: last night, any remaining bodies, and burn them. But they

942
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: don't quite get to do that because Maurice was not

943
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: so unpossessed after all. Looks like this was all a trap,

944
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: that's right, a brutal betrayal in which Maurice possessed Maurice

945
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: kills Hugo with a shotgun. So this is regular Paul

946
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 1: Nashy is dead. Now only Warlock Paul Nashy remains, right,

947
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: And again I was kind of surprised by this because

948
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to ultimately be Nashy versus Nashy,

949
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: but instead, no, only Olirek remains. But however, I think

950
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 1: Maurice is genuinely awakened from his his hypnotized state by

951
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: the Thor's hammer amulet, like I think, what's her name?

952
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: Elvira presses that against him and then he's like, oh,

953
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm good now, and then that's when they read the

954
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: book they find. They just start reading a book and

955
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: it tells them how to kill warlocks and zombies and

956
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: the silver Needle and all that. Meanwhile, this is when

957
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: we get the argument between the warlock and Helga Lana

958
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: about when they should eat hearts. You know, I will

959
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: eat hearts later, but I'm hungry now. And they settled

960
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: this by going out to find the bandits or the

961
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: vigilantes from earlier who were camped out with a fire

962
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: by the river bank, and they just say, Hi, We're

963
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: gonna eat your hearts now, and they do. This is

964
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: where Mobile like rips the dude's chest open with her hands. Nice.

965
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: So many chests get ripped open in this film, and

966
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 1: this all leads up to our final showdown. So on

967
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: one hand we have we have Maurice, and we have Elvira,

968
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: and then we also have Oliriic and mabel Um and

969
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: Elvira and Uh and Maurice. They have the weapons now

970
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: they feel like they know what they need to do.

971
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: They have the amulet, they have the needle, and so

972
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: the battle begins UH basically the way this is. I

973
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: thought thought this was a nice final showdown, but ultimately

974
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: Maurice and Olieric both throw items at each other at

975
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: the same time. Maurice is throwing the thor amulet UH

976
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: and Olric is throwing an axe, so Maurice is killed

977
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: by the axe H. Meanwhile, the amulet hits Alric and

978
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: wounds him. Elvira is fighting Mabelle and stabs her with

979
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: a silver needle, which just destroys her. And then Elvira

980
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: picks up the amulet and presses it to the wounded

981
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: Olric's head and this results in a nice dramatic death

982
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: sequence for Paul Nashi's Oleric, so el Viraus survives the

983
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 1: Warlock Horror that's right, Alaric, he like falls to his knees,

984
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 1: his head falls off his body, and his head tumbled

985
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: down some stairs and then just burned to a crisp.

986
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: They end up looking at they're kind of like a

987
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: smoldering orange newspapers. It looks like yeah, and then uh.

988
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: And then Elvira, in kind of a daze, she wanders

989
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: back down to the lake and she throws the thor

990
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: amulet into the water, and that's the end of the movie.

991
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: Now that's the I was confused by that. Why did

992
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: she throw the amulet in the water. The amulet wasn't bad,

993
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: The amulet protected them from evil. How does she know

994
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: that there isn't that she's not gonna need that again,

995
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, she seemed to think it

996
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: belonged there. I don't know. If she was like I've

997
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: had enough of this and throwing this into the water.

998
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: If this is like throwing Goose's dog tags into the

999
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: ocean and top gun, I don't know, if this is

1000
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: like ex Caliber needs to be rich turned to the

1001
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: lake and so she's throwing those thrown in into the lake.

1002
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly what the rationale was here. Other

1003
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: than to have a kind of haunting, ambiguous ending to

1004
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: the whole affair, which is sort of what we had

1005
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: in the Lore I Grasp. We had a haunting, ambiguous

1006
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: ending by the by the lake shore. That's right. Yeah,

1007
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: except this movie, unlike Lorealized Grasp, does not have a

1008
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: doomed monster romance component. It does not have like the

1009
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: human falls in love with a monster. If there is

1010
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: a love story, it's the love story between two evil

1011
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: monsters and uh and unfortunately they're both they're both thwarted

1012
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: by by bumbling humans in the end. Well, Aleric is

1013
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: clearly upset when his loved one dies again, like we

1014
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: do get a moment of him reacting to that, and

1015
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: I felt bad for him because again I was behind

1016
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: this power couple. Um, I'm not sure what they're their

1017
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: their modern power couple name would be combining Aleric and Mabel. Um.

1018
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: I'll he met for Malari Malarik, Team Malik. Yeah, I

1019
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: was on team Malarek. So yeah, I was a little

1020
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: a little sad when when when, when things went down

1021
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: the way they did. I think Nashy's look as the

1022
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: warlock is far superior to his look as a modern

1023
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: day man, So yeah, definitely. Yeah. On one day, he's

1024
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: wearing this gross, pale makeup and he always looks sweaty,

1025
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: and he's got this fake beard and he's got the

1026
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: cool cape and everything, and that all just gels. That works.

1027
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: And the other version there's an actual gel too, there's

1028
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: that red gel or purple gel. So he has this

1029
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: demonic light to him and yeah, he's just got his

1030
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,479
Speaker 1: sardonic look on his face. Absolutely love this look. That look.

1031
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: That look works, and when you compare that to his

1032
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: look as the modern man who tucks his turtleneck in,

1033
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's not the same. Right, one before we

1034
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: close out, one more Maurice moment that I love. There's

1035
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: a part earlier in the film where they've gone out

1036
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: into the country and he comes back from town. I'm

1037
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: not sure what he was doing in town, but he's

1038
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: talking to Hugo and he's like, yeah, this place sucks,

1039
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: like I went into town and that the kids were

1040
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: throwing rocks at me. Yeah, I love that. I did

1041
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: not know what that meant, but it was funny, all right.

1042
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: The movie is Horror Rises from the Tomb. Uh, Yeah,

1043
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. At some point in the future,

1044
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: I may have to come back and and look around

1045
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: at some of these Paul Nashy werewolf films and figure

1046
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: out what might be the Paul Nashy werewolf film to watch.

1047
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but if anyone out there has any ideas,

1048
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: feel free to write in and let us know. All right.

1049
