Panic Beats (Spanish: Latidos de Pánico) is a 1983 film starring Paul Naschy and Julia Saly. The film was a Spanish-Japanese co-production made as a sequel to Naschy's 1972 Horror Rises From the Tomb (featuring the return of his "Alaric de Marnac" character from the previous film). It was produced by Augusto Boue and Julia Saly for Naschy's company Aconito Films. Paul Naschy plays the monstrous Alaric de Marnac and Julia Saly, Lola Gaos, and Silvia Miro co-star. Some stock music written by Roberto Nicolosi for 1959's Caltiki the Immortal Monster can be heard in the background.
Fernando Florido handled the gore and special effects. The film features a number of scenes involving full frontal female nudity. The old mansion Naschy used in the film was actually one of Generalisimo Francisco Franco's former homes, and in between takes, Naschy roamed the house and enjoyed rummaging through the various furnishings and paraphernalia that was left to rot in the house after Franco's death in 1975.[2]
