For months Troy and I have been sitting on the exciting news that this Autumn Mondo Macabro will be releasing to Blu-Ray Paul Naschy's epic werewolf adventure THE BEAST AND THE MAGIC SWORD (1983). This movie brings the cursed Waldemar Daninsky to feudal Japan in search of a cure for his affliction. The story gives Naschy the chance to open up the world of his signature creation setting up an amazing tale of lycanthropy, witchcraft and samurai! This film has been very difficult to see outside of Spain and, as there has never been an English dub, is one that requires subtitles. Luckily, MM has stepped up to the plate with a new digital scan and brand new subs for those of us who can't speak Spanish. This will be the first time this movie has ever been released in the United States so a lot of people are in for a major treat.
Also, Mondo asked the Naschycast duo to contribute a commentary track for this Blu-Ray and we're proud to have submitted one we feel proud to have on this disc. We were able to find a lot of great info and even some details from a couple of onscreen participants! This is our sixth commentary for a Naschy film and I think we might have finally gotten the hang of it!
There are going to be more extras beyond our contribution but they haven't announced those goodies yet. THE BEAST AND THE MAGIC SWORD will go on sale later this Summer so bookmark this SITE for later use. This one is a must for Naschy fans and this new version will be a revelation for those of us used to poor quality bootlegs.

Hopefully,the upcoming U.S. Blu Ray release of this BEAST AND THE MAGIC SWORD will signal the future American Blu ray release of other Paul Naschy films such as NIGHT OF THE EXECUTIONER and SEVEN MURDERS FOR SCOTLAND YARD.
