the vengeance of the mummy (1973)

aka The Mummy's Revenge. La venganza de la momia.
"Everyone knows mummy's cannot come back to life."
Prof. Nathan Stark (Jack Taylor) discovers the tomb of Amenhotep (Paul Naschy), and ships it back to London to exhibit. But Assad Bey, the servant of Amenhotep has ways of bringing the Pharaoh back to life. But in order For Amenhotep to achieve immortality, Assad Bey has to sacrifice some nubile young virgins.
Essentially a re-telling of the classic tale, and one done with a certain style.

the blue eyes Of the broken doll (1976)

aka Los ojos azules de la muñeca rota. House of Psychotic Women. The House of Doom.
"We're nobodies, absolutely nothing."
Gilles (Paul Naschy) is taken on as caretaker by three strange sisters, who own a large estate. Michelle (Inés Morales) is paraplegic, Claude (Dina Lorys) has a deformed hand, and Nicole (Eva Léon), a vamp who wastes no time in getting hands on with the staff! Gilles in turn seduces Claude, but is plagued with nightmares that feature him strangling women. But more troubling is the arrival of a serial killer targeting blonde, blue-eyed women, whose eyes he takes, but why?
Atmospheric, meandering, but intriguing tale, littered with clues and macguffin's.
