Barbara Steele stars in this film about a reporter who takes a bet from Edgar Allen Poe that he cannot spend the night in a castle that is reportedly haunted. He is dropped off and told if he can survive the night he will win an get a lot of money.
Georges Riviere is Alan Foster the man who spends the night in a castle filled with terror. Barbara Steele is Elisabeth Blackwood, a mysterious young woman who falls for Alan. Soon he finds that the castle in haunted by the spirits of people who have died violently and must re-live their deaths every year on Nov. 2nd.
There is some great atmosphere in this Italian chiller and the music is always a favorite of mine. It turns out Steele is dead too, but she tries to help Riviere escape.
Solid and scary entertainment that is top notch no matter what time you watch it. Highly recommended for any horror fan.
