31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 8: CRYPT OF THE VAMPIRE 1964 (RETROMEDIA)

Well made little film based on the story "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.

Christopher Lee stars as a man who daughter may be possessed by the spirit of a dead ancestor forcing her to kill. The beautiful phtotgraphy in the Italian gothic thriller is nothing short of perfect and sets up the tone of the film.

Stunningly beautiful Adriana Ambesi is the daughter whose friendship with another beautiful woman named Ljuba, played by Ursula Davis might be the cause of the problem. Eroticism is hinted at but never really shown.

Check this out if you like Italian gothic horror. The slow pace and moody story are great for this time of season. Recommended!!
