I greatly enjoy a number of his films; just like popping a classic Universal Horror or a Hammer favorite in the player, Naschy's best work gives this middle-aged Monster Kid a sense of "home". (And even his bad movies can be quite entertaining!)<br /><br />Paul Naschy is my favorite cinematic lycanthrope of all time. I think he was a better werewolf than Lon Chaney Jr. -- truly throwing himself into the role physically.<br /><br />R.I.P., SeƱor Naschy.Brian Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210364932759284516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24663651.post-38777343057618064662009-12-02T12:10:26.894-06:002009-12-02T12:10:26.894-06:00Our "Naschy Nights" will mean just a lit...Our "Naschy Nights" will mean just a little bit more from now on, won't they. As Dave and I were discussing, Paul had quite a life...he got to play "Monster" for a living, and get surrounded by naked Euro-babes in the process. I kick myself even more that I missed his rare U.S. convention appearances. I'm glad he lived to receive some awards and see how much his work is appreciated now.Mr. Ghoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594869546522034757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24663651.post-55996393860945591242009-12-02T11:47:28.739-06:002009-12-02T11:47:28.739-06:00Holy crap!
