Monks in Blood reference?

Post by DustyStyx »

While checking up on the zombie barrel reference in "Return of the Living Dead" on Tchernobog's wiki, I stumbled upon Return of the Blind Dead, seems to be (atleast to me) the origin of the Monks out of Blood.

At least the poster looks convincing enough. I'll have to check this series out.

Apologies to all those who are already aware of the Blind Dead series.

But mine has Tchernobog on the cover :evillaugh:

Sweet, more evil monk movies!
YouTube seems to have Devil's Rain split up over a few sessions.

Oh, bonus! It has Shatner!

Credit for the first "evil monks" might go to Rosemary's baby, which had some devil worshipers wearing robes at the end of the movie. (1968)

The direct influence on blood was certainly the first Phantasm movie, which had "jawa" like monks moving corpses in canisters. (1979?)
