The 'Blind Dead' horror movie series???!
Question: A while back, I purchased a special collector's set of Euro-director Amando de Ossorio's 'Blind Dead' horror/zombie film series, which included "Tombs of the Living Dead", "Night of the Seagulls", "Return of the Evil Dead" and "The Ghost Galleon"; I'm pretty sure that these were the only four horror films, fictionally based on the factual and historical Templar Knights, which were produced and directed by Ossorio. However, I'm also pretty sure that there was a FIFTH film, once again assuming a horror-type of approach to the Templars, but I have no idea what the title was; I have watched the Ossorio titles over and over, but I know for a fact that there was another story on film, associated with the Templars...
...as obscure as these films are, maybe there's someone out there who knows what I'm talking about...

...ah, yes!!! The Blind Dead series!!! Spain's answer to the estalished 'living dead' zombie genre; fortunately, being a devoted and literal study of the actual and most facinating historical Templar Knights, as well as a fan of director Ossorio's skeletal flesh-eating quartet of films...all four being grotesque twists on the Templars' legend, you have pegged upon one who knows...
...in 1985, prolific Euro-director Jess Franco produced and directed a rather ghoulish and bloody remake of the first and original film in the Blind Dead series, namely "Tombs of the Blind Dead"; it was called "Mansion of the Living Dead", and amongst the flesh-eating zombie subplot, there was the atypical Franco tendancies toward sado-masochism and lesbianism...
