Written & Directed by: Amando de Ossorio Special Effects by: Alfredo Segoviano Selected Cast: Tony Kendall as Sigurd Helga Lin\u00e9 as Lorelei (as Helga Line) Silvia Tortosa as Elke Ackerman Josefina Jartin as Boarding School Principal Loreta Tovar as Martha (as Lolita Tovar) Jos\u00e9 Thelman as Carlo Donati (as Joseph Thelman) Luis Induni as Mayor Francisco Nieto as Blind Violinist Betsab\u00e9 Ruiz as Bride-to-Be (as Betsabe Ruiz) Luis Barboo as Alberic \u00c1ngel Men\u00e9ndez as Professor (as Angel Menendez) Sergio Mendiz\u00e1bal as Doctor (as Sergio Mendizabal) Marisol Delgado as Brigitte (as Mary Sol Delgado) Victoria Hern\u00e1ndez as Teresa (as Vicky Hernandez) Mar\u00eda Vidal as Maid (as Mary Vidal) Javier de Rivera as Preacher Antonio Orengo as Old Man Cristino Almod\u00f3var as Boat Man (as Cristino Almodovar) Iris Andr\u00e9 as Blonde Victim (uncredited) B\u00e1rbara Rey as Lorelei\u2019s Assistant (uncredited) Mar\u00eda Luisa Tovar as Cavewoman #1 (uncredited) The 70s Grue Crew discusses another Spanish horror flick from Amando de Ossorio, director of The Blind Dead Quartet. This time, joined by Jerry Chandler, their subject is The Loreley\u2019s Grasp (1973, Las garras de Lorelei), aka When the Screaming Stops. The lovely and talented Helga Lin\u00e9\u2019s character becomes a reptilic creature during the full moon and feasts on human hearts, ripping them straight from her victim\u2019s bodies while they still breathe. Her source for hearts? A girl\u2019s boarding school, of course. Gory and brutal, the film\u2019s effects are lacking but fun. De Ossorio delivers another imaginative tale on a shoestring budget\u2026 and lots of giggling girls in somewhat reserved bikinis, a handsome hunter, a beautiful school marm, a pseudo Van Helsing who is very careless with a flask of acid, a trio of cave-dwelling, female wrestlers with skull clasps on their swimsuits, and a radioactive dagger. What else could there possibly be? At the time of this writing, The Loreley\u2019s Grasp (1973) is available to stream from Tubi and PPV from Amazon. It is available on physical media as The Night of the Sorcerers \/ The Loreley\u2019s Grasp Scream Factory Double Feature Blue-ray. Gruesome Magazine\u2019s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Chad, will be The Antichrist (1974). On the plus side, it\u2019s an Italian film directed by Alberto De Martino and starring Carla Gravina, Alida Valli, Mel Ferrer, and Arthur Kennedy with music by Ennio Morricone.
