THE FORBIDDEN SHADOW (LA SOMBRA PROHIBIDA), the second part of THE VALDEMAR LEGACY, will hit Spanish theaters January 28th. The film contains Paul Naschy's final performance. Below is the trailer.
News and reviews of the Spanish horror film, with a special focus on its first golden age in the 1960s and 1970s. Also, revelations from the collections of Spanish horror fans.
"I hope these memoirs will be used by my descendants as a guide. It's an initiation into a passionate world of rare and unknown sensations, a seductive and tragic world bred in pain and blood, the tragic eroticism of all the senses, finally ending in death."

El Conde Dracula Resin Kit
It's being auctioned on eBay at a start bid of $499--an unreleased prototype resin kit of Christopher Lee as Count Dracula from the Jess Franco film. Fine work, and the perfect gift for a Franco or Chris Lee fan from a well-to-do friend.
