 (1960) Ugo Tognazzi, Carlo Croccolo, Raimondo Vianello, Abbe Lane, Hélène Chanel.  What you’ve got here is a pretty well-made Euro horror comedy.  Yes, there are plenty of laughs in this film, but they are blended in with many scary moments, all of which are enhanced by the film’s chillingly gothic B&W photography.  The setting is a school for wayward girls...

(1969) Vladimír Smeral, Elo Romancik, Josef Kemr, Sona Valentova, Blanka Waleska.   If you like Witchfinder General you’ll love this film.  It’s a grim, horrific dramatization of the witch tribunals of the 1600s.  You’ll cringe as overzealous clergymen bring innocent women in front of tribunals, force them to confess to acts of witchcraft, then subject them to...

(1979) Earl Owensby, Kristina Reynolds, Sid Rancer, Ed Grady, Richard Dedmon.  Nothing like a fun, schlocky American-made werewolf movie set in the Deep South—and that’s what this is.  The werewolf makeup isn’t exactly Jack Pierce, but it’s still pretty cool.  The film begins in a rustic old mansion with the stabbing death of an old man as he lays in his death bed—something about a family curse...
