tombs of the blind dead

Tombs of the Blind Dead is a 1972 Spanish-Portuguese horror film written and directed by Amando de Ossorio.

Ossorio objected to the description of the revenant Templars as "zombies", insisting that they more resembled mummies who feed like vampires and that, unlike zombies, the Templars were not mindless corpses.

The film has also been an inspiration to metal bands worldwide with over 50 bands having songs titled tombs of the blind dead or some other iteration, all of which pay tribute to the movie series
