Medieval knights executed for their black magic rituals come back as zombies to torment a group of people on vacation.

DON'T MOVE! DON'T BREATHE! DON'T MAKE A SOUND! THEY'RE COMING!

Amando de Ossorio's unique 1971 Spanish shocker Tombs of the Blind Dead was an international horror hit that spawned three sequels and countless imitations.

The first of four official films in the series, it begins with a trio of friends getting together for a camping trip that quickly turns into bloodcurdling horror as a legion of long-dead Knights Templar rise from their graves in search of human flesh! When the Templars were originally executed for their cannibalistic rituals, they were hanged outside to die as crows pecked out their eyes. Now, armed with ancient swords and riding their skeletal undead horses into the night looking for prey, these mummified creatures cannot see... they hunt purely by sound alone.

Synapse Films is proud to present Tombs of the Blind Dead in a new restoration from the uncut original camera negative!
