BLOOD DEMON (1967, Anamorphic) Christopher Lee, Lex Barker, Karin Dor, Carl Lange. Barker sentences Lee, the evil Count Regula, to death for slaying 12 virgins. Many years later, Lee 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 Lex and Karin 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! Not unlike a Chris Lee Dracula film. Dor is simply stunning. Gorgeous color, 35mm.
THE HUNCHBACK OF SOHO (1968, Anamorphic) Gunther Stoll, Pinkas Braun, Monika Peitsch. Terrifying things are happening around the grounds of an old castle, within which is a boarding house for delinquent girls. Things get nutty when some of the girls die mysteriously. A hunchback killer is on the loose! Scotland Yard is called. More murders occur, the screams of the victims being silenced by the sound of a church organ. Good creepy fun; a fine Edgar Wallace chiller. Great color, 35mm.
