THE ORIGINAL UNCUT VERSION SCANNED IN 4K WITH NEW SPECIAL FEATURES
In the final film of his early '60s European period, Christopher Lee stars as a 19th century Count who invites a theatrical troupe for a weekend of horrors that boasts an enthusiastically creepy performance by Lee, startling locations in Lazio, Italy's Orsini-Odescalchi Castle and 'Park of the Monsters', second-unit direction by Michael Reeves (WITCHFINDER GENERAL) and the screen debut of Donald Sutherland as both a doofus gendarme and a hunchbacked hag. Philippe Leroy (THE NIGHT PORTER) and Jacques Stany (VIOLENCE IN A WOMEN'S PRISON) co-star in this 1964 French-Italian co-production from American producer Paul Maslansky - who would go on to produce DEATH LINE and the POLICE ACADEMY movies - and fellow expat writer/director Warren Kiefer - after whom Sutherland would name his son - now scanned in 4K from the Italian negative for the first time ever.

Press Quotes
Required viewing for fans of Christopher Lee and Italian horror... Its fascinating backstory and the debut of an unknown Donald Sutherland have combined to keep its cult status going for nearly 50 years.
—Good Efficient Butchery
Worth a look for the performances alone... Lee is excellent as always, and a young Donald Sutherland is obviously having a blast.
—The Video Vacuum
