Crypt of the Living Dead (1973), also known as *La Cripta de los Muertos Vivientes*, is a Spanish horror film directed by *Amando de Ossorio*. The plot centers on a young woman who travels to a remote island to investigate the mysterious death of her sister. There, she uncovers a hidden crypt containing a long-dead vampire, whose revival sparks a series of gruesome events as the dead begin to rise. The film blends gothic horror with elements of supernatural and zombie horror, typical of the early 1970s' Euro-horror scene. It’s known for its eerie atmosphere, low-budget special effects, and its mix of vampires, undead creatures, and dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. Though not a major classic, *Crypt of the Living Dead* has gained a cult following among fans of obscure European horror, particularly for its chilling setting and influence on later zombie and vampire films.
