Mansion of the Living Dead (Spanish: La mansión de los muertos vivientes) is a 1982 erotic horror film written and directed by Jesús Franco, said to be based on his own novel (which never existed).

The make-up on the zombie monks was extremely low budget, consisting mostly of dried shaving cream lather rubbed on the actor's faces.

[1][2] Several waitresses visit an almost abandoned resort hotel out of season, only to find that the long-dead monks of the local former monastery have returned as zombies.

"[2] Rob Lineberger of DVD Verdict wrote that the film consists mostly of boring scenes where the actresses walk around the set.

[5] Writing in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, academic Peter Dendle said, "The film is marked throughout, however, by a disturbing hostility toward women: they are sexual objects from the start to the finish, and the voyeuristic impulse would seem less offensive if it weren't accompanied by unashamed misogynistic violence.
