Are you ready for another Paul Naschy extravaganza? The Grue-Crew tackles the often overlooked Spanish horror film, Vengeance of the Zombies (1973), featuring Naschy in three roles: the East Indian mystic, Krisna; the scarred, evil twin, Kantanka; and, Satán! The film is filled to the brim with voodoo zombies rising from the grave to kill at the orders of a mysterious hooded figure. But, why, why, do these zombies smile so much?! While not entirely successful, the film deserves to be seen, preferably without the theatrical red warning flashes. Roger Ebert called it the “dog of the week” on Sneak Previews upon its 1980 release, but the Grue Crew thinks that label is undeserved. What do you, dear Grue Believers, think? Let us know in the comments below.
At the time of this writing, Vengeance of the Zombies (1973) is available to stream from the Classic Horror Movie Channel, Wicked Horror TV, and Tubi. The film is available from Scream Factory as a standard format Blu-ray as part of The Paul Naschy Collection along with Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973), Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll (1974), Human Beasts (1980), and Night of the Werewolf (1981).

In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Jeff, will be Who Can Kill a Child? (1976, ¿Quién puede matar a un niño?), directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador. The Grue Crew have been on the hunt for this scarce, cult classic for years. What will they think?
