We've known for few
months that Mondo Macabro was planning to release two top notch Paul Naschy
films this year and today the company made the official announcement for the
first - INQUISITION (1978). This is, of course, extremely exciting and not just
because it is the beginning of a stream of Naschy Blu-Ray releases coming in
2017. This is one of the least well known of Naschy's horror films as it falls outside
the area of his more famous monster tales. Indeed, this movie hews much more
closely to WITCHFINDER GENERAL (1968) or THE DEVILS (1971) than to any of his
werewolf films. Regardless, this an excellent film with a strong script,
excellent cast and some fantastic ideas driving the actions. I can't wait for
more people to be able to finally see this film!
This will be INQUISITION 's Blu-Ray debut and the disc will
sport a few nice extras - and that is the big news for the Naschycast. Troy and I were asked to
contribute a commentary track for this release and we did so! Yes! We recorded
a track that will be included on this Blu-Ray in which we try to provide some
information about the film and circumstances around it. We're very excited
about this and are very thankful to the fine folks at Mondo Macabro for this opportunity.
We hope you will enjoy our track but even if you never listen to us babble at
you for the entire running time of the movie I think you'll enjoy the film
itself.
Keep an eye on this page to pre-order the Limited Edition or
wait a few more months for the regular edition (which will still have our
commentary!). This a great film and a must for Naschy fans. It might even be
capable of creating NEW Naschy fans!
Here are the official specs for the disc -
Oh! and here is the other side of the reversible cover-
We hope to have the limited edition of this title on sale in
late April or early May, with the retail version landing in June or so.

I'll never listen to the audio commentary because I heard Rodney Barnett is a tool.
It's true. He's a blithering idiot! ;-)
Looks terrific!
