description

Spanish Horror Has Risen from the Grave!

After Who Can Kill A Child?, The House That Screamed and Howling of the Devil, another two of the most essential European Horror titles combined in one newly remastered CD.

The Living Dead At the Manchester Morgue (1974), directed by Jordi Grau (Historia de una chica sola, Il Peccato) features a suprising and unusual film score by Italian composer Giuliano Sorgini.
The latter is filled with choral pieces, afterlife sounds and a counteless number of urban beat rythms.

Horror Express (1972) was the first film score ever written by composer John Cacavas (Kojaj, Airport 1975, Airport 1977).
It features a sticky melody of clear Russian roots and is further rich in rythms and atmospheres.
Unfortunately, the tapes of the original recordings found in Mercury Films vaults were damaged beyond repair.
So, we’ve had to use the re-recording Cacavas himself conducted a couple of years later.
Luckily all key material written for the film has been preserved this way and in a performance very much alike the original one.

 
story
Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti viventi
When state officials test out a new experimental pest-control device that uses subsonic waves to kill insects, it produces an unwelcome but interesting side-effect:
The noise is enough to wake the dead - literally - and the corpses of the recently deceased begin to rise from their dirt-naps with ravenous appetites for warm human flesh.
Since the predicted zombie jubilee starts off with more than a whimper than a bang (actually it's more of a wheeze, since these are particularly asthmatic undead), viewers are left with a rather mundane police drama as clueless detectives try to pin the mutilation murders on a group of free-wheeling hippies.
Despite high production values and some audacious gore effects by Giannetto De Rossi (who would later lend his splattery talents to Lucio Fulci's Zombie and many more Italian zombie films), this Spanish/Italian co-production falters in the middle thanks to sluggish pacing and dull investigation scenes, which are devoid of suspense since the zombies' existence is already made known.
Also released under the quaint title Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue, among others.

Director:
Jorge Grau


Horror Express
This horror science-fiction thriller, a cult favorite, takes place in 1907.
Professor Caxton (Christopher Lee), a fossil-hunter has discovered some sort of pre-human creature frozen in ancient Manchurian ice.
He is traveling to London with his find on the Trans-Siberian Railway and is horrified to discover that his frozen man is missing, and corpses and zombies are appearing all over the train.
It turns out that the frozen specimen is an alien with some unusual powers.
The combined forces of Professor Caxton, his rival Dr.Wells (Peter Cushing), and a Cossack captain (Telly Savalas) are needed to save the world from this monstrous being.
Skillfully told, with a good dose of humor, this film also features the train which appeared a year before in Nicholas and Alexandra.

Director:
Eugenio Martín
