The next full moon isn’t for another couple of weeks, but fans of a legendary cinematic lycanthrope have cause to celebrate now. September 6 is the birthday of Spain’s greatest horror actor, the late Paul Naschy, and genre streamer Scream Factory TV is marking this hallowed (and howling) occasion with an all-day marathon of his best films. It’s a 24-hour crash course in Euro-horror that includes a bloody swath of Naschy’s beloved “El Hombre Lobo” films and cult classics such as Exorcismo and Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll.
A total of 10 Naschy films will air during the must-see marathon:
Horror Rises From the Tomb (1973)
Vengeance of the Zombies (1973)
