Los Angeles , CA – What better way to usher in the holidays than with a heaping helping of Euro-horror? BCI Eclipse, a Navarre Corporation Company, under their Deimos label, unveils the latest additions to their ever-growing Euro-horror library with the November 13th DVD release of Amando de Ossorio’s The Loreley’s Grasp (Las Garras de Lorelei) and Horror Rises from the Tomb (El Espanto Surge de la Tumba), starring and written by Spanish horror film icon Paul Naschy. Continuing its dedication to preserving and presenting classic Euro-horror films on DVD , Deimos presents these two classic horror films for the first time in their most complete, uncut original versions, remastered from the original negative in high definition. For side dishes, each film boasts a tasty selection of bonus features, including the original Castilian and English-dubbed audio tracks, theatrical trailers, photo galleries and alternate scenes. SRP is a paltry $19.98 for each title. Order date is October 5th.

Written and directed by Amando de Ossorio, The Loreley’s Grasp reaches out from the depths. In a university town by the Rhine river, young women are turning up dead…savagely torn to pieces and their hearts ripped out of their bodies. With casualties mounting and local authorities at a loss, helpless to find who – or what – is causing these horrible murders, a nearby school for young women hires an experienced hunter to find and kill the murderer. The hunter will soon find out that horror is only skin deep and that his target is an alluring and mysterious being – the Loreley – who is already searching for another victim to use in a gruesome ancient ritual.

Written by Jacinto Molina (aka Paul Naschy) and directed by Carlos Aured, Horror Rises from the Tomb is another terrifying chapter in the Euro-horror legacy of Paul Naschy. In 15th century France, the warlock Alaric de Marnac is beheaded for crimes against humanity and his equally guilty mistress also viciously killed, but not before the pair put a curse upon the descendents of their executioners. Featuring midnight séances, the undead rising from marshes, generous doses of nudity, blood-drenching heart-ripping and eerie atmosphere, Horror Rises from the Tomb rightfully deserves its place of a hallmark of Euro-horror.
