Aside from Nightmare Castle, this is Barbara's first best film. The castle, the atmosphere, the visuals of Barbara and her barely hidden charms as she ethereally walks down the halls...it all makes a wonderful movie in many ways. I have the Synapse disc with the "lost" dialogue that's in French with English subs, which is quite rare from what I understand. In any case you can't go wrong with this one!

Maybe just a third nipple.

Does Barbara have a zit on her chin?

That's the voice of Dick Tufeld, aka the Robot from "Lost In Space".

It's better than 'Nightmare Castle' which has an overwritten plot.

this film is better than Nightmare Castle because that film's plot is too over written,she plays twins,her husband kills her and her cheating lover,then he restores the face of the woman he really loves,then the ghost of his wife comes back,then her twin cousin is haunted by the murders and becomes crazy..too much.

I agree with you totally.. this and other early Euro films were really crazy AND scary..and the richness of the black and white cinematography really lends some serious atmosphere. And Barbara is at her most beautiful in this film..when I saw her come downstairs with all that unbound black hair cascading over her shoulders, holding the candelablra and in a nightgown that barely hid her charms, my heart went "pop!" Not to mention what else "popped" LOL ;)

This film is not sick!..it's one of the best euro horror films eve made.I actually like it a little better than 'Black Sunday.

that shit's sick. as in bad-ass sick.

This is her best role and my favorite Barbara Steele film.

it's just one stabbing after another

Good video!
