Evil Knights Templar rising from their graves, riding skeletal horses in pursuit of tourists gone astray, ruined monasteries and deserted villages: Amando de Ossorio’s creepy, atmospheric Tombs of the Blind Dead<\/I> has some of the most memorable imagery of the Spanish horror boom of the 1970s. Influenced by George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead<\/I>, de Ossorio nevertheless makes the returning dead his own: having had their eyes pecked out by crows after being hanged for their wicked ways, the Knights rely on sounds to hunt their preys. Released in the final years of Franco’s dictatorship, Tombs of the Blind Dead<\/I> is not only a terrific eerie chiller, but also a subversive allegory for corrupt military and religious power oppressing and persecuting ordinary people. Tombs of the Blind Dead<\/I> was followed by another three films on the blood-sucking Knights, all directed by the prolific de Ossorio.<\/p>\n

Electric Sheep and Strange Attractor are proud to present a rare screening of Tombs of the Bind Dead<\/I> at the Masonic Temple, Andaz Hotel Liverpool Street, London, on Saturday 29 June, as part of the East End Film Festival<\/A>. Jim Harper, author of ‘The New Regime: Spanish horror in the 1970s and the end of the dictatorship’, published in The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology<\/I><\/A> (Strange Attractor Press), will introduce the screening.<\/p>\n

The screening ends a whole day of cult classics around the theme of secret societies at the Masonic Temple starting from 2pm: Sherlock Holmes hunts Jack the Ripper in British classic Murder By Decree<\/I>, introduced by critic and novelist Kim Newman; a woman begins seeing strange apparitions in 1970\u2019s giallo The Perfume of the Lady in Black<\/I>; Jodorowsky\u2019s Mexican circus grotesque Santa Sangre<\/I><\/A> is introduced by its composer Simon Boswell; and finally, we descend into the Tombs of the Blind Dead<\/I>.<\/p>\n

Schedule:<\/p>\n

2.00pm | Murder By Decree | Dir. Bob Clark
\n4:30pm | The Perfume of the Lady in Black | Dir. Francesco Barilli
