Today we go with the Paul Naschy classic Horror Rises From the Tomb.
In medieval France, the sorcerer Alaric de Marnac (Naschy) is decapitated and his mistress, Mabille De Lancré, is tortured to death having been accused of witchcraft, vampirism and lycanthropy by Armand de Marnac (Naschy again). Before they die, however, they curse the next generations of the people responsible for bringing them to "justice". Fast Forward to today (1973) Hugo de Marnac (Naschy yet again), Sylvia, Maurice Roland, and Paula, go to a séance session, where they evoke the spirit of Alaric. They decide to travel to the Villas de Sade, a real estate of Hugo's family in the countryside, to seek a monastery with a hidden treasure. They find Alaric's head and the fiend possesses them, bringing Mabille back to life and executing the locals. Often with lots of full frontal nudity (male and female) and zombies. After the slaughter of several nameless people, and some of the friends, Elvira (Emma Cohen) recalls that her father has hidden the Thor's Hammer amulet in a well. Together with Maurice, they try to defeat Alaric de Marnac and Mabille.
