Tombs of the Blind Dead (La Noche del terror ciego ("The Night of the Blind Terror")) is a 1971 Spanish horror film written and directed by Amando de Ossorio.
The film is the first in Ossorio's Blind Dead series.
The film is notable for the slow, creepy atmosphere it maintains throughout. The zombie knights templar are blind and hunt by sound, leading to several sequences where characters are attempting to be as quiet as possible so as not to be found and killed. Also, the horse chase sequence was copied closely by Peter Jackson in the Fellowship of the Ring movie.[citation needed]
