(1961, aka HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD, Upgraded 12/31/20) Reg Park, Christopher Lee, George Ardisson, Leonora Ruffo, dir. by Mario Bava. A classic fantasy. Hercules searches Hades for a magic stone that will cure an ailing princess. The film’s climax has Park pitted against several horrifying monstrosities. Watch for the great scene where Thesius falls into the molten lava. Lee is excellent as the bad guy. Great color, from an excellent 35mm print.
