Infecting the web with my nonsense since 1998.

The Spanish “Lon Chaney”

Fango07-4A legend of Spanish horror cinema passed away.  Often called the “Spanish Lon Chaney”, today Paul Naschy (1934 to 2009) lost his battle with cancer.

Paul was my favorite foreign horror film star.  Danielle and I waited in line to meet him at Fangoria for hours in 2006.  He spoke very little English but you could tell he was very gracious for the support of his fans.  He even hugged me when I told his translator how long we waited.

I am honored to have met him and when I saw Jovanka Vuckovic’s tweet about his passing, it truly made my heart hurt.

You can check out his filmography and additional information at Naschy.com.

Rest in Peace Jacinto Alvarez Molina.
