SAM: Peter Jackson must be a total fan of the Blind Dead series 'cause he completely ripped off the look for the Black Riders in Lord of the Rings off that.
B.J.: Really? The Black Riders in the movie was almost exactly how I imagined them when I first read Lord of the Rings.
SAM: Totally ripped off. Have you seen any of the Blind Dead movies?
B.J. (hangs head): No.
Well we're rectifying that this week with the first two Blind Dead movies.
Mon. May 1
7pm Tombs Of The Blind Dead (1971) : IMDB: In the 13th century there existed a legion of evil knights known as the Templars, who quested for eternal life by drinking human blood and committing sacrifices. Executed for their unholy deeds, the Templars bodies were left out for the crows to peck out their eyes. Now, in modern day Portugal, a group of people stumble on the Templars abandoned monastery, reviving their rotting corpses to terrorize the land.
9pm Return Of The Evil Dead (1973) : The evil blind knights awaken during a festival celebrating the 500th anniversary of their defeat at the hands of the villagers. The drunken shouts of partygoers are quickly replaced by screams at the sight of the skeletal zombies and the massacre is on. A group of survivors ? including fireworks ace Jack, his old flame Vivian, the town's crooked mayor, and a few other eventual victims ? all gather in an old church that is quickly surrounded by the saber-swinging ghouls.
Next week if I can find it PHANTASM DOUBLE BILL!
