What happens

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). It stars Franco's most often used actress, Lina Romay, who is credited here as Candy Coster. Franco also edited the film, and dubbed the voice of actor Albino Graziani. The make-up on the zombie monks was extremely low budget, consisting mostly of dried shaving cream lather rubbed on the actor's faces. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
