Something I've wanted to compile, this post lists all known horror films directed by legendary film-maker (and an underrated one in my opinion) León Klimovsky. These are Spanish films although the man himself was Argentinian. Eclectic in skills, León had made films in a number of genres outside of horror, particularly wars and westerns.
Note, the media release information provides the best known release to my knowledge, although some of these discs may no longer be in print. Unfortunately, several of these (and many of his non-horrors) have never had a disc release, possibly not even a VHS in some cases, and may be lost forever. Please contact me if you feel there are corrections to be made.

The Vampires' Night Orgy - 1973
AKA La orgía nocturna de los vampiros, Orgy of the Vampires
Features Jack Taylor, Helga Liné
Released on Blu-ray by Code Red
Legendary piece of work as a group of tourists are inadvertently driven into a town populated by the undead. Plenty of classic spooky scenarios unfold in this one.
The Devil's Possessed - 1974
AKA El mariscal del infierno, Marshall of Hell
Features Paul Naschy, Norma Sebre
Released on Blu-ray by Scream Factory
The Devil's Possessed is not strictly a horror film, almost more of a historical escapade, although it does contain elements of horror (hence its inclusion here). At times it feels like something that was inspired by Witchfinder General, but possibly would have benefitted from upping the violence and sordidness.
Night of the Walking Dead - 1975
AKA El extraño amor de los vampiros, The Strange Love of Vampires
Features Emma Cohen, Viky Lussón, Carlos Ballesteros
Released on Blu-ray by Severin
A Dragonfly for each Corpse - 1975
AKA Una libélula para cada muerto, Red Killer
Features Paul Naschy, Erika Blanc, Maria Kosty
Released on Blu-ray by Scream Factory
Reasonably good giallo focussing a little more on the police investigation side of things than I would have preferred personally. As the title suggests, a killer leaves a little dragonfly brooch on each victim as a calling card, Naschy's character investigates.
The People Who Own The Dark - 1976
AKA Último Deseo, Planeta ciego
Features Nadiuska, Paul Naschy
Released on Blu-ray by Code Red
Minor classic as a group of people are trapped in a mansion as an apocalyptic event takes places outside, turning the population into desperate sightless individuals.
Three Days in November - 1977
AKA Tres días de noviembre
Features Maribel Martín, Tony Isbert
No known disc release
Trauma - 1978
AKA Violación fatal
Features Ágata Lys, Heinrich Starhemberg
Released on Blu-ray by Vinegar Syndrome
