(1967) Christopher Lee, Lex Barker, Karin Dor, Carl Lange, Christiane Rucker. Barker sentences Lee, the evil Count Regula, to death for slaying 12 virgins. He is drawn and quartered in the opening scene of the film. Many years later he returns from the dead to claim revenge on Barker’s son (also played by Lex) and seek out the daughter of his intended thirteenth virgin victim, whose blood will endow him with everlasting immortality. The scene where they ride through the corridor of hanged men is very memorable. Both arrive at Lee’s castle to find themselves thrown into a labyrinth of horrors. The pendulum scene and the snake pit scene are decidedly chilling! This could have almost been a Chris Lee Dracula film. Dor, as usual, is beautiful beyond words. Aka The Snake Pit and the Pendulum. From a gorgeous 35mm widescreen print.
