Stars: Saturnino García, Félix Gómez, Elena Furiase, Montse Pla, Dunia Rodríguez, Nacho Guerreros, Erika Sanz, Federico Repetto, Vicky Jorge | Directed by Isaac Berrocal, Erika Elizalde, Manuel Martínez Velasco, Víctor Matellano, Piter Moreira
Based on an original idea by co-director Víctor Matellano, this black-and-white anthology film opens on Halloween night as children trick-or-treat. Gravedigger Mister Fettes (Saturnino García), preferring to be called Vampus, feels unappreciated for his work. He holds a sour outlook on the world, as established when he reads a news story about a hipster being stabbed 45 times and reacts by saying it wasn’t enough.
Matellano directs the wraparound segments, where Vampus acts as a storyteller to the audience in a manner resembling The Cryptkeeper. He also encounters many people whose lives he ends at the slightest irritation, before feeding them to his ghoulish pet named Toby. It’s constantly entertaining to watch this ill-tempered gravedigger that García terrifically brings alive.

Mr. Fettes is the sinister and macabre grave digger, guardian of many creepy secrets. He buries the dead by day and unearths them at night for unspeakable purposes. He likes to be called Vampus and enjoys reading horror comics, especially necrophilia love stories. Vampus introduces us to four of his favourite stories. The particular take here is that all of these segments were directed by four filmmakers still waiting to make their feature film debut: Manuel M Velasco (La boda), Isaac Berrocal (La segunda cita), Erika Elizalde (Cumpleaños) and Piter Moreira (Linaje). Víctor Matellano is the only seasoned feature film director on the directing team and served as the movie’s creative producer apart from directing the Vampus wrap around segment. In fact, Saturnino García...

Actor Saturnino García serves as the host, playing a sinister gravedigger in this fantasy film made up of four standalone chapters being directed by first-time filmmakers. An anthology of horror stories, all introduced by a host in the guise of a sinister gravedigger. This is how Vampus Horror Tales is billed – a film that sees Saturnino García presenting each of its constituent parts. After the shoot was interrupted by the health crisis prompted by the coronavirus, the Basque-Leonese actor (Abracadabra) is once again playing the titular gravedigger in a film whose segments are directed by Manuel M Velasco (the one entitled La boda), Isaac Berrocal (La segunda cita), Erika Elizalde (Cumpleaños) and Piter Moreira (Linaje). As well as directing the Vampus segment, Víctor Matellano (Regresa el Cepa) will serve as the movie’s creative producer, and Colin Arthur (2001: A Space Odyssey) is supervising the special effects. Filming is taking.
Much as we'd like to, we can't always get to Every festival that happens. That's why we have friends like Ari Lehman, who travels extensively and who can bring us a blow-by-blow of the events as they happened. Here, then, is Ari's exclusive journal from his recent trip to Spain, where his band, First Jason, played the Festival de Cine de Terror de Molins de Rei, which is a really long name for one hell of a festival dedicated to horror movies and music. So without further ado...

As we looked out of the airplane window, Barcelona lay sprawled out before us like an overflowing Pirate's chest that had been tipped into the shiny blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. I looked up to the north where I saw a dark, craggy mountaintop looming in the distance.
