Scarecrowber: Tombs of the Blind Dead
October 9, 2025
The first and finest of the Blind Dead tetralogy, unleashed upon the world in the early-1970s and known in its home-country as La noche del terror ciego (The Night of the Blind Terror)!
Introduced by Scarecrow Video's Malakie Peters.
Our antiheroes? A disbanded order of the Knights Templar, revenants destined and doomed to roam the ruins of a Spanish medieval town. Unlike other walking dead, these fourteenth century cloaked-folk have had their eyes plucked-out by birds and are only able to echolocate their unwitting victims. Be quiet! Be very quiet! They can hear your heartbeat! [They also ride undead horses but it is best not to question the underlying logic of their origin-story.]
