CASTLE OF BLOOD

Antonio Margheriti, Sergio Corbucci

Design sans titre-97

Alan Foster interviews the writer Edgar Allan Poe, who insists that all of his tales are based on true stories. The journalist is sceptical, so to prove it, Lord Blackwood dares him to spend a night at his castle, warning him that no one has ever made it out alive. Foster accepts the macabre challenge and encounters a cast of ghosts reliving their deaths. A masterpiece of gothic horror, featuring Barbara Steele as a sexy spectre.
