(aka La noche del terror ciego)
April 10, 1972 (Spain), February 1973 (USA)
Knights from the medieval era who were executed for black magic rise from the tomb to brutally murder intruders on their graves. Their only problem: they are blind! Nevertheless, the body count and creative death scenes is impressive. The plot is about as slow moving as the undead antagonists, but for low budget horror, we’re only here for a cheap thrill.
It has a succession of sequels with Return of the Blind Dead (1973), The Ghost Galleon (1974), Night of the Seagulls (1975). It’s success helped kickstart the Spanish horror film boom of the early 1970s
Written & Directed by Amando de Ossorio
