José Thelman, a Spanish actor, made his mark in the 1970s with a series of films that defined the cult horror genre. He appears in Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972), where he navigates the eerie landscapes of the undead, and Return of the Evil Dead (1973), showcasing his ability to blend into the supernatural chaos. His role in The Night of the Sorcerers (1974) further solidified his presence in the exploitation film circuit, where he brought a unique intensity to the screen. Thelman's contributions to these films continue to resonate within the realm of grindhouse cinema.
Return of the Evil Dead

Being blind, the Templars find their victims through sound, usually the screams of their victims. Taking refuge in a deserted cathedral, a small group of people must find a way to escape from the creatures.
