Also known to use the name Vic Winner, this Spanish actor is probably a very familiar face if you’ve watched more than a few Paul Naschy films. Alcázar usually played the good guy, or at least someone that was caught up with the nasty things going on. But he was always one of those recognizable faces in those great Spanish horror films of the 70s’. His first real horror appearance was in 1973, which was a very busy year for him. The first film noted in that year was It Happened At Nightmare Inn (aka A Candle for the Devil), co-starring Judy Geeson. But then that same year, he would appear in FOUR films with Paul Naschy. They were Horror Rises from the Tomb, Count Dracula’s Great Love, Hunchback of the Morgue, and Vengeance of the Zombies.
While his acting wasn’t that of legends, he was always good in the roles that he had. And he is one face that you will see pop up in these Spanish horror films of that era, so it is only expected that we wouldn’t want to highlight him here. That way the next time you’re watching HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB with some friends, and Alcázar pops up on the screen, you can say “Hey…there’s Victor Alcázar!” and impress your friends!
Welcome to Monday, once again. And if it’s Monday, that means another Mystery Photo! Our last photo was from the 1966 Amicus thriller The Psychopath, directed by Freddie Francis. Really wish this film would get a nice cleaned up DVD release. Not even sure if this even got a VHS release here in the states….? Anyway, congrats to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Elena Anele, Cate Cameron, and Michael Shields. Well done!
Okay…since we’re only a few days away from the holiday, I thought it would be appropriate to post a film that could have something to do with it. I did say “something”, mind you. But take a good look and see if you can guess which film this shot is from. Good Luck!
And remember, please do not post your answer here, but send me an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com.

We are sadden to hear of the passing of Italian actor Carlo De Mejo, who appeared in several Lucio Fulci films, such as City of the Living Dead (1980), House by the Cemetery, and Manhattan Baby. He also appeared in Luigi Cozzi’s Contamination (1980), as well as two Bruno Mattei flicks, The Other Hell (1980) and Women’s Prison Massacre (1983).

I guess there is something to be said about a film that we hear a lot about before the film, but then we don’t too hear much after it comes out. Sometimes we don’t even realize that it was even released. This film is a perfect example of this, at least for me. The only reason I found out it came out was that it showed up at Redbox when I was scrolling through the titles. Should have given me a clue right there. But I rented it anyway.

Hopefully everyone out there already knows who Charles B. Griffith is. If you’ve seen any of the early works of Roger Corman, then at least you’ve seen some of his work. But if not, then this is a perfect opportunity to learn about this very talented and very underrated man. This interview was conducted at the Cinema Wasteland Movie Memorabilia show on April 1st, 2007. He passed away later that September. He will be missed.
