About This Item
In a lavish gothic shocker inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu's immortal novella Carmilla, Christopher Lee delivers a rare 'hero' turn as nobleman Count Karnstein whose foreboding castle teems with ancestral curses, unnatural desires, philosophical hunchbacks and grisly acts of vengeance. Adriana Ambesi (FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD) co-stars in this 1964 Spanish-Italian co-production - also known as TERROR IN THE CRYPT and CRYPT OF HORROR - directed by Camillo Mastrocinque (AN ANGEL FOR SATAN) from a screenplay by giallo master Ernesto Gastaldi (ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) and Sergio Leone protégé Tonino Valerii (MY NAME IS NOBODY), now featuring a 2K scan from a fine-grain 35mm master print.
