FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR in 3D

   Garagehouse has announced some more dates for their 35mm 3D print of FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR. Originally titled LA MARCA DEL HOMBRE LOBO, it was the first of Paul Naschy's Walemar Daninsky films featuring the lycanthropy curded nobleman. Directed by Enrique López Eguiluz and written by Naschy (under his real name Jacinto Molina) it was shot in Hi-Fi Stereo 70 3-D.

   Picked up for American distributing by Al Adamson had it converted to 35mm over & under 3D by optical & special effects artist Linwood Dunn. Needing a "Frankenstein" co-feature for his DRACULA VS. FRANKESTEIN, Adamson slapped an animated prologue on the movie tying the Frankenstein family in with lycanthropy and titles it FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR (even though Frankenstein never actually appears in the movie).

    The following three showings are announced and since one is in my neck of the woods, I'm stoked!

Miami, FL - Nite Owl Theater - Part of the “Tales of the Third Dimension” series - March 28-April 1 

Huntington, NY - Retro Picture Show at the Cinema Arts Centre - “Terror! In 3D” triple feature (w/ FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D & AMITYVILLE 3D) - Friday, April 13th.

Durham, NC - Carolina Theater - Part of October’s Splatterflix series — October 12-13. 

INQUISITION from Mondo Macabro

   Mondo Macabro has announced the specs for their first of two Paul Naschy releases (with 1979's EL CAMINANTE following later this year) as INQUISITION from 1978 will be released this April/May.

   Written and directed by Naschy under his Jacinto Molina moniker its a period piece concerning a with a witch hunter (Naschy) who falls under the spell of local beauty Daniela Giordana (YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY) who in reality was sent by Satan to destroy him. 

    Packed with nudity, blood and that wonderful Spanish horror Gothic atmosphere it should look ravishing with Mondo's new HD transfer.
