The Ghost Galleon
The Blind Dead put to sea on a model boat in a visible fish tank. The runt of the four.
The third Blind Dead film, and the one even devotees put last. Amando de Ossorio strands two swimsuit models on a becalmed galleon lost in permanent fog, crewed by his eyeless Templar corpses, who are still the best monster design of the decade no matter what you float them on. The trouble is what he floats them on: the ship in the wide shots is a small model bobbing in what is visibly a fish tank, and no amount of dry ice hides it. The Templars still work. The fish tank does not. Completists finishing the tetralogy will want it; everyone else should watch the other three first.

Horror Rises from the Tomb
A decapitated warlock's head, still working. Naschy wrote it himself.
The Loreley's Grasp
A Rhine myth relocated to Spain, with a monster that only works in long shot.
Sugar Hill
Revenge via Haitian zombies. The best of the blaxploitation horror crossovers.
Messiah of Evil
Made by the couple who then wrote American Graffiti. A nightmare that never explains itself.
The Living Dead Girl
Rollin's best late film. Melancholy where the Italians were loud.
Night of the Seagulls
The Blind Dead ride out one last time. A quiet, sad closer to Spain's best monster series.
