As you may or may not be aware, Doc, VotZ was my own introduction to the wonders of Naschydom, and as such it holds as much importance for me as nostalgia as it does for its cinematic merits. Though I *do* think it's a hell of an entertaining movie, from the deliriously incongruous score to the shock gore moments to the weird little throwaways, like the Hall of Meat sequence (following the World's Quickest Strangling) to the hapless guard being murdered with a soda can. :) <br /><br />I do think the movie looks great, though, with some nice color schemes and costumery, to say nothing of the Random Ocelot, which is always appreciated. :) And I found the slo-mo gauzy zombies strangely effective in an ethereal, otherworldly way...though it was kind of a stock trick for Klimovsky, who filmed the vampires in FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR the same way.<br /><br />And let me just say how much I LOVE the comparison of Naschy to the Rooney/Garland enthusiasm. It totally works!The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-37353231234097813892010-11-30T19:59:24.129-08:002010-11-30T19:59:24.129-08:00Naschy as a triple threat here - hells yeah!

I guess I was not impressed with <i>Dracula</i> enough; though I can hardly blame Lugosi. Must make myself watch it.<br /><br />Very cool pic, btw.Darius Whiteplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950956139088139753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-21814022912387201982010-11-30T13:06:35.861-08:002010-11-30T13:06:35.861-08:00Hey, Darius.

I think they both owe something to <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_f0BCyEwQ2OI/TPVmA4kKjfI/AAAAAAAABQE/G_b0QgYUOd4/haxan_surprise.jpg" rel="nofollow">Benjamin Christensen in <i>Witchcraft Through the Ages</i></a>. Don't you? <br /><br />I love mystical zombies, too.

Fulchi's <i>City of the Dead</i> and horror-blaxploitation coolness <i>Sugar Hill</i> are some of my current favorites. Although, I get the feeling there is not a lot of zombie action in this one? A good thing, perhaps?<br /><br />Naschy's Satan looks to have really inspired Anna Biller's <i>A Visit from the Incubus</i>. Though aVftI's devil is not green, and more fully clothed, he is <a href="http://dariuswhiteplume.tumblr.com/post/2051207168/anna-billers-a-visit-from-the-incubus" rel="nofollow">all horns and pulling faces</a>.Darius Whiteplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950956139088139753noreply@blogger.com
