Four cult classics from Amando de Ossorio!
 
They are called 'Blind Dead', heretic horsemen whose eyes were burned out to prevent them from finding their way back from Hell. Over the course of 4 unforgettable films, writer/director Amando de Ossorio created what fright fans worldwide consider to be one of the most startling series in horror history. This unique quartet of shockers delivers a relentless onslaught of creepy atmosphere, shocking violence, forbidden sexuality, and the still-chilling icons of Euro Horror: the eyeless undead who hunt by sound in their quest for human flesh.
 
Don't move...don't breathe...don't let them hear your heart beating: the Blind Dead are back!
 
Includes:
 
Tomb Of The Blind Dead (1971):
The scent of a nubile camper awakens the corpses of the ancient order of Templars - a horde of 13th century Crusaders blinded and executed for heresy - from their 600 year slumber. Revived and hungry, the sightless zombies rely on their ears to hunt down their victims, and unlike most undead, who stumble about in slow-moving hordes, the Templars ride horses and even trains in pursuit of the sweet, sweet flesh of the living!
 
Return Of The Evil Dead (1973):
The mummified cult of Knights Templar rises once again to seek vengeance on the living...
 
Blind Dead 3 (The Ghost Galleon) (1974):
The motor launch of a pair of models staging a publicity stunt on the high seas bizarrely disappears having reporting a mysterious vessel. After learning that the uninhabited ship seen had been reported lost for years, a search party sets out and discovers that the ship is, in fact, populated inhabited by undead, blood-drinking Templar knights!
 
Blind Dead 4 (aka Night Of The Seagulls) (1975):
In this fourth instalment of the Blind Dead series (this entry also known variously as 'Night Of The Seagulls', 'Don't Go Out At Night' and 'Night Of The Blood Cult'), those blind undead Templars plague a fishing village where they rise seven nights every seven years to claim their sacrificial offerings in return for the safety of the townspeople...
