    A definitive example of Italian gothic

    For years now I was aware that this was regarded as one of the best Italian horror films of the 60's. Having finally seen it, I understand the praise but would go further and say that it is one of the definitive examples of gothic horror period. Like the vast majority of films in this category, its story is not the point and is purely a means to an end. A journalist accepts a bet to spend the night in a haunted mansion; when there, this stereotypical sceptic encounters a series of ghostly goings on which grow increasingly disturbing as the night progresses.

    Like I say, story isn't what makes a gothic horror tick - its atmosphere. And this film sure has lashings of that, including an arrival scene where the protagonist explores the environs of the mansion and its grounds - this scene is so very bold because it is not afraid to spend a dozen minutes looking around, with no dialogue and no 'action' so to speak. It's all about gothic imagery, with elegant black and white cinematography which captures the cobwebby décor and architecture in its full shadowy splendour. This is a good indicator of the film as a whole, as this is a beautiful looking movie, which is accentuated significantly further with the presence of its two stellar leading ladies - Barbara Steele and Margrete Robsahm. The former is quite rightly regarded as the greatest icon of Italian gothic and here she is utilised splendidly, while the latter is much less known but is stunning here as an icy seductress. Her character Julia has lesbian designs on Steele's Elisabeth, which was a pretty bold angle for an early 60's film to run with and there is an overall strong sense of eroticism embedded in this one generally. The ghostly entities encountered in the house were previously doomed by a love triangle which resulted in multiple murder; these events are re-enacted once a year on All Souls Night, with the unwitting help of the poor sap who enters the house that evening.

    The director of this one was Antonio Margheriti, who was something of a jack-of-all-trades who made films in most of the genres of Italian popular cinema. I think this may very well be his masterwork though. Interestingly enough, the director originally allocated this one was Sergio Corbucci who is now famous for classic spaghetti westerns like Django and The Great Silence; in this one, he is drafted in to direct one solitary scene, where Elisabeth's muscle-bound lover Herbert bursts into her bedroom and stabs her to death. Overall, this is upper-level stuff as far as gothic horror goes and indicates once again, that these types of films work so much better in black and white.

    One of the better 1960's horror films

    I've watched this movie a number of times, and found it to be very good. This movie is also known as "Castle Of Terror", "Coffin Of Terror", and "Dance Macabre". Barbara Steele, is her usual beautiful/creepy self. George Riviere, the male lead, does a good job with his role. The whole movie is dripping with atmosphere, and there is a good deal of tension throughout. The camera angles are good and the acting, for the most part, isn't bad. This film is quite suitable for a rainy day or evening. I have the DVD uncut version, which is far superior to the edited TV version. Grab some popcorn, turn out the lights, settle back and enjoy.

    Well executed old and very dark house horror

    Well executed old and very dark house horror. Good set-up which includes the character of Poe, himself, alluding to the story in a London pub. Although from here it is pretty much the one guy who has taken the dare to visit the house on a particular night running from room to room either looking for or avoiding people, it is still most enjoyable. Plus we have the delightful and enigmatic Barbara Steele. There is some wooden dialogue and some unexplained bits and bobs but it is the super creepy atmosphere that is maintained throughout, that and the super musical score that keep this one moving nicely along. DVD originates from US and has a few extras

    Castle of Blood (aka Danse Macabre) – Revisiting An Old Haunt

    I originally saw this movie as a boy at the old Rialto Theatre as part of a Saturday afternoon matinée triple bill which also featured Vincent Price's "Last Man on Earth" and Mario Bava's "Nightmare Castle." I had nightmares about blood lusting ghosts for a week afterwards! Though I didn't know it then, all three movies would prove to be classics of the genre. No wonder I was so scared! Though all three films frightened me, it was Castle of Blood that had the most profound impact.

    It was the first on the bill. I didn't even get to see it from the beginning as we were late getting to the cinema and missed the first 20 minutes of the movie. That's lot to miss since the edited print only ran about 79 minutes (the unedited runs 87minutes). But despite this, the dark creepy atmosphere (complete with ruined castles, fog enshrouded cemeteries, shadows and cobwebs), Gothic set design, strong acting, and suspense (especially the last 20 minutes) scared the bejeepers out of me and made a lasting impression It took me years to finally get a copy of the film for my collection. Since it was a French - Italian import, it wasn't a movie that showed up on the late show in Winnipeg. I couldn't quite remember the title (remember I didn't get to seen the beginning of the film and was scared witless), and to make matters worse, the film had been released under literally a dozen different movie titles (aka Danze Macabre, Coffin of Terror, Castle of Terror, Long Night of Terror, etc...) and the USA/UK working title "Castle of Blood" was very generic, similar to dozens of other "b" horror and suspense films, making it illusive. But thanks to the internet and perseverance, I found it at last! What a treat to finally watch the film in its entirety after so many years! It may not have had quite the sheer emotional impact that it did when I was a boy, but as haunted house movies go, it's stands up well and compares favourably to similar iconic films of the period such as "The Haunting," "The Innocents" or "Black Sunday," The film is a fine early effort of Italian director Antonio Margheriti. It stars 60's scream queen icon Barbara Steele and features a well written screenplay by Sergio Corbucci about a sceptical writer (Georges Riviere) who, on a bet, spends the night in haunted house and unsuspectingly becomes part of an annual ongoing ghostly story. The hypnotic Steele is well cast as the ghostly love interest - as is Arturo Dominici as Dr. Carmus, and Margarete Robsahm as Julia.

    Many of the tricks Margheriti employs to create the film's eerie atmosphere (cobwebs, creaking doors, fog, etc) are bound to seem cliché to a modern audience, but they work far more effectively in black and white than they ever could in modern day colour. Rather than using body counts and special effects, the film creates scares the old fashion way, relying on a good story, stylish direction, fine set production, interesting camera work, and strong acting performances. Margheriti does a marvellous job taking these elements and building the film's suspense as the horrifying paranormal secret of the house gradually reveals itself to the unwitting writer.

    The film is not without faults. The pace drags at the beginning of the film (ironically, the 20 minutes I originally missed). This is probably worsened by Synapse films effort to restore the film to its original length. Though fans will likely appreciate the chance to see the film restored - in terms of the intro - it may have been more of hindrance than a help. The English voice dubs are merely passable and, in the restored scenes, the language shifts from English to French (English subtitles provided) which is sure to be annoying to some viewers.

    However, Synapse Films deserves kudos for the quality of the print. Clearly some effort was put into its restoration and deservedly so.

    I enjoyed the film immensely and highly recommend it to aficionados of 60's Italian Goth films, or anyone who enjoys a good ghost story.

    A Genuinely Creepy Miasma

    I have never seen a Barbara Steele movie that I haven't liked, and have always been a sucker for a good haunted-house story (especially for such wonderful pictures as "The Legend of Hell House" and the original versions of "The Haunting" and "House on Haunted Hill"), so I had a feeling that "Castle of Blood" would be right up my alley. And boy, was it ever! This French-Italian coproduction, while perhaps not the classic that Steele's first horror film, "Black Sunday," remains to this day, is nevertheless an extremely atmospheric, chilling entry in the spook genre. Filmed in black and white, it manages to convey a genuinely creepy miasma. The film concerns a journalist who bets one Lord Blackwood and an author named Edgar Allen Poe that he can spend the night in Blackwood's castle on the night of All Saints Day, when the spirits of those killed in the castle reenact their fate. The viewer gets to see these deaths, and they ARE pretty horrible, for the most part. The film does indeed send shivers up the viewer's spine, and in the uncut DVD that I just watched--thanks to the fine folks at Synapse--even features a surprising topless scene and some mild lesbianism! And Barbara is wonderful in this movie; her otherworldly beauty is put to good advantage playing a sympathetic spectre. Her mere presence turns a creepy ghost story into something truly memorable. Not for nothing has she been called "The Queen of Horror."
