Description:
When American author Edgar Allan Poe visits London, he is approached by British journalist Alan Foster, who becomes the target of a peculiar wager. Not believing Poe's assertion that all of his macabre stories have been based on actual experience, Foster accepts a bet from Poe and his friend Sir Thomas Blackwood that he cannot spend an entire night in the Blackwood's haunted castle. Once installed in the abandoned castle, Foster discovers that he is not alone, as he is approached by various beautiful women and handsome men, and a doctor of metaphysics -- who explains that they are all lost souls damned to replay the stories of their demises on the anniversary of their deaths!

Quick delivery - but what a snore fest. It was better 20 some-odd years ago when I first saw it. Not so scary any more.

You could say that "Castle of Blood" is based on the best story Edgar Allan Poe never wrote -- despite what the opening credits say, I cannot find any Poe story called "Danse Macabre."
But despite that, this vintage horror movie is still quite entertaining as a Gothic tragic romance. It suffers from a rather thin plot, but makes up for it by soaking the entire story in atmosphere -- lots of dungeons, coffins, crazed murders, cobwebby corridors, and vampiric ghosts. A danse macabre indeed. ... Read More

I used to watch this film all the time as a kid on Channel 5's Creature Features, and found out early that it had been cut. Why it took almost 40 years to finally get an uncensored version is a true mystery, but finally, here it is, and well worth the wait. I'm a big fan of 'old dark house' movies, good or bad, and this one is good. One of the finest of the Italian horror wave that produced Mario Bava (among others), this film is beautifully realized in atmospheric black and white. The director remade this ... Read More
