AT LAST IT CAN BE REVEALED, the mystery 'third' LE title is ...
Paul Naschy's 80s horror classic PANIC BEATS! We were the first ones to issue this film on a legit disc back in the 2000s and we are beyond excited to have renewed our license and given the film a sparkling new 4K restoration for its worldwide HD premiere! Full specs are below …
Directed by Jacinto Molina
Spain, 1982 94 minutes, widescreen, color
Starring: Paul Naschy, Julia Saly, Lola Gaos, Silvia Miro, Frances Ondiviela, Manuel Zarzo, Jose Vivo, Charly Bravo
Spanish language/ English subtitles
Spanish horror legend Paul Naschy wrote directed and stars in this dark and macabre tale of lust, betrayal and ghostly vengeance. Naschy plays a descendent of the Alaric de Marnac character first seen in his 1973 film Horror Rises From the Tomb.
Desperate to salvage his crumbling financial empire, Paul Marnac (Naschy) decides to kill his heiress wife, Genevií¨ve, played by Julia Saly. He enlists the help of a sexy and ambitious younger woman, Julie, played by former Miss Spain, Frances Ondiviela. Unfortunately, one murder is not enough to satisfy Julie's blood lust and greed. As the corpses pile up, she heads for a confrontation with an ancient and unstoppable evil.
Remastered for the first time in HD, this fully restored Blu-ray is the complete uncut version of the film and contains all the notorious gore and violence.

There it is! Is it what you were hoping for? If not, hopefully it excites all the same.

Due to some production delays in all three titles we don't expect these to ship until early January. If we can reasonably ship them earlier we will, but don't count on it.
Rock! Shock! Pop!

Mondo Macabro just posted this news on FB...
Coming next year to Blu-ray! Two rare films by Spanish horror visionary Paul Naschy!
HOWL OF THE DEVIL is one of Naschy's last great films and also one of his craziest. He plays an insane failed actor who dresses up as various famous villains from films and history while he kidnaps and abuses unsuspecting ladies.
HOWL is one of Naschy's most autobiographical films as well as one of his most bitter and cynical.
This will be the film's first official release anywhere in the world. Expect a 4K restoration from the recently discovered negative.
THE FRENCHMAN'S GARDEN is also criminally underseen and absolutely one of the great man's finest films. It's a sort of period set "true crime" film shot through with a healthy dose of the macabre. Troy Howarth, author of the book HUMAN BEASTS: THE FILMS OF PAUL NASCHY, says that it's "arguably Naschy's most impressive film up until this time" and we would have to agree.
This will be the first official release of the film in the US, from a recent, gorgeous 4K restoration.
We don't have firm dates for either release but expect both of them sometime in the first half of 2021 if all goes well.Rock! Shock! Pop!
