THE NIGHT OF THE EXECUTIONER was the last film Paul Naschy
directed before his decision to helm EMPUSA in 2010. By the 1990s he knew the
most fruitful days of his career were behind him and I'm sure the opportunity
to be back in the writer/director/star position was exciting. He explains the dual genesis of this tale of
vigilante justice in this autobiography so its clear that he felt inspired to
create the film even if, in the end, it is a bit too much like other movies in
the genre.
The mailbag section is great this month with a few good
points made by listeners and a much deserved correction made on my sad
mispronunciation of the lovely Nadiuska's name in last month's show. I can only
throw myself on the mercy of the Naschy fans and promise to do better next
time. As always the show is available from the link below or through the iTunes
store or streaming from Stitcher Radio. We do prattle on! You can drop us a
line at naschycast@gmail.com or join us over on the Facebook page and leave us
a review in the iTunes store. Thanks!
