Considering how much I've written about TV, it's a constant source of embarrassment that I repeatedly can't spell "episodes".

And so does Nation....

The "Dead planet" is brimming with life. Nature finds a way.

He was a huge fan of Universal and Hammer,which becomes obvious the more control he gets.

Well this is cool. I just ran this through an image search and the house they used was 30A Acacia Road, St Johns Wood, London NW8

I'm trying not to dwell on Naschy playing some kind of spiritual guru as an Indian. He doesn't appear to be doing the accent, thankfully.

They've gone to great lengths to put up English signs (for a stop with a Welsh name) but surely that's a Spanish station, train and car?!
Also - actual night filming!!

Okay... I don't know a thing about this, but entirely coincidentally there's a killer dressed as Guy Fawkes. Wow!

Don't know if Paul Naschy a year making films in London or if he kept popping back, but this is the third of his early 70s films I've seen partly shot there. Establishing shots of Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus - cut to a house out in Richmond or somewhere. Just needs a caption: "London-ish".

Alien was about a bunch of truckers. Aliens was about grunt soldiers. Romulus was about poor kids with hope. Basically working-class folks in space. There's something about Alien Earth - and Prometheus, now I come to think of it - that's just boringly middle-class and elitist.

Yeah... I counted Daughters of Darkness twice, but left off Weapons (2025) and Dr Jekyll versus the Wolf Man (1971).
