31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 29: THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS 1966 (SINISTER CINEMA)

An odd film indeed, but one of my personal favorites.

Four cowboys who have apparently stolen some money are heading thru Apache country trying to get to safety when they come across a lonely cabin that is apparently abandoned.

Suddenly without warning a stranger appears at the door and offers the hungry men food and drink. They are served by his daughter Liah who is a mute.

Three of the men start eating and consume the food like starving men. The other is suspicious and asks where the food came from since there is no farmland and no running water.

They leave, but not before two of the men, Charlie and Joe decide to kill the man and rape Liah.

Soon the men start dying one by one and it becomes apparent that something is terribly wrong. Liah is actually taking the mens souls from them via kisses and the final victim she also cuts his heart out and throws it in a fire.

Orville Wanzer directed this shot in New Mexico oddity that I have always liked. Sinister Cinema has finally made this available again and I couldn't wait to see it.

In the several years between seeing this film for the first time and now, I still consider it to be one of the oddest films I have ever seen, but that is it's appeal. Another good one for the season in my opinion.
