Danza Macabra Volume One: The Italian Gothic Collection

The Monster Of The Opera (1964)

While an ambitious impresario (Marco Mariani) thought the disused theater would be perfect for his young company to rehearse and mount a production of "Cyrano," the caretaker warned that the structure was haunted. And indeed it was--by a prowling vampire (Giuseppe Addobbati) who believed the gorgeous leading lady (Barbara Hawards) was his lost love reincarnate, in Renato Polselli's fearsome follow-up to "The Vampire and the Ballerina." 80 min. In Italian with English subtitles. BW/Rtg: NR

The Seventh Grave (1965)

After the passing of Sir Robert Thorne, the assorted legatees who convened at his Scottish castle for the reading of the will decided to kill some time with a seance. Probably not the best move, as the quite insane Sir Robert was involved in all manner of ghastly research...and his wakened spirit's ready to pick up where he left off. Thought-lost slice of Eurohorror stars Gianni Dei, Stefania Nelli, Nando Angelini, Antonio Casale. 77 min. In Italian with English subtitles. BW/Rtg: NR

Scream Of The Demon Lover (1970)

Just-graduated biochemist Ivana Rakowsky (Erna Schurer) reported to the foreboding castle of Baron Janos Dalmar (Carlos Quiney) to work as his research assistant. Although falling for, and ultimately wedding, her employer, she'll find far too late that she should have heeded her reservations about his bizarre retinue and even more bizarre experiments. José Luis Merino's Eurogothic shocker co-stars Agostina Belli, Enzo Fisichella. In Italian with English subtitles/Dubbed in English. C/Rtg: NR

Lady Frankenstein (1971)

If you thought Dr. Frankenstein was a madman, wait ’til you see the female side of the family! Daughter Tania (Sara Bey, aka Rosalba Neri) is a real operator who’s building a man to satisfy her sinister cravings. Joseph Cotten, Paul Müller, and Mickey Hargitay star in this Italian/Spanish production directed and co-written by Mel Welles (Gravis Mushnik from "Little Shop of Horrors"). 83 min.
