@BakerX2 Oh yes now that I remember that does happen. You're right it was that woman. I thought I remember seeing something like that in these films but it just got blurred out of my mind through all the other cool stuff that was going on in the film/films. I wonder why they dropped that part? I do know the origin they said that in the beginning in p2 (good thing they put that back into play) that they are the Knight Templars. Devil worshiping cult

[BakerX2]

@DarkAngelSpirit13 The "turning people into zombies" thing was only in the first one. It was pretty much dropped (along with the origin given to the Blind Dead, later films have their eyes blinded via a torch to the face while they were still alive so that they couldn't make good of their threat to escape hell, before being executed) from the later three films...

@CanineFaeces Who gives a fat rats ass ?

Man I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid! All I really remember from the time I originally saw it was the Templar zombies eating some guy that looked like Tom Selleck the "Magnum P.i." years!

Tombs of the oh shit, it's old

This was the coolest scene in the movie. I loved how they all stopped on a dime when they heard the woman scream, and then slowly descended upon her....of course they cut out what the Templars did to her, but that's in the uncut DVD.

LOVED the look of the Templars..their moldy suits and hoods, the skeletal faces, the whole thing was very unique and atmospheric for the time it was created. They reminded you of some of those hooded demons in the old horror comics.
