In this episode we change the script a bit. There have
been some great new Blu-Ray releases of Paul Naschy films and we wanted to give
each of them a look to see what new information about the great man might be
gleaned from them. So, in the first segment of the show we discuss the CRIMSON
and COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE discs at length giving our opinions of these
fresh presentations. No one will be surprised that this leads to discussion of
the merits of the two films as well so be prepared. This is the Naschycast
after all.
Then we turn to the main topic of the evening - a look back
at HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB (1972). We originally podcasted about this
classic over six years ago in episode #2 and for an in depth scene-by-scene
dissection I will point everyone to that show. Here we speak more broadly about
the movie and the elements that we still find impressive and of value. To add
to the discussion this time we convinced fellow podcaster an all around good
guy Christopher Page to send in his thoughts on the film. He has only recently
begun to discover Naschy's work and his point of view informs how your longtime
co-hosts dig into the beating, bloody heart of HRFTT. With a little luck we'll
be incorporating other fan's thoughts on the classic films of Naschy in the
future.
We end this episode with what turns into a rant. The topic
is one that hadn't been on our minds until recently but once broached we felt
it should be talked about. Thanks to longtime listener Villa Wolf for sparking
this discussion and helping both co-hosts come clean about our past fanboy tactlessness.
Down with the gate-keepers!
