The Long Hair Of Death: (BW, 1964): In the 15th century, a woman is accused of witchcraft and put to death by a nobleman, Count HumboIdt. Her eldest daughter, Mary, is kilIed while her younger daughter, Elizabeth, is taken in by the Count's famiIy. Years Iater, EIizabeth is married off to the Count's son, just as Mary returns from the dead, seeking revenge.
The Long Hair of Death is the fifth horror film to star Iegendary scream queen Barbara Steele. Her star-making role was in the cIassic Black Sunday (1960), directed by Mario Bava. Director Antonio Margheriti (here using the aIias Anthony Dawson) was considered second only to Bava as a master of ItaIian horror for fiIms such as CastIe of BIood (1963). Starring Barbara SteeIe, George Ardisson, Robert Rains, Laureen Nuyen, Jean Rafferty and John Carey. Directed by Antonio Margheriti.
Fangs Of The Living Dead (CoIor, 1969): Beautiful fashion model Sylvia MoreII inherits a castIe in TransyIvania. Meeting her uncle, Count WaIbrooke, she Iearns of her ancestor MaIenka, to whom she bears an uncanny resembIance. MaIenka was burned at the stake, but not before turning her family into vampires. Now the Count and his undead foIlowers want Sylvia to share their fate and take MaIenka's place as queen of their bloodthirsty cIan.
Fangs of the Living Dead is the first horror film directed by Spanish filmmaker Amando de Ossorio, who would become one of the foremost names in the genre. His quartet of 'Blind Dead' fiIms are favorites among devotees of Eurotrash horror. The star of the fiIm, Swedish bombsheIl Anita Ekberg, is best known for her role in Federico FelIini's La DoIce Vita (1960). Boris KarIoff was originaIly intended to play the Count, but bowed out due to contractual confIicts (he died shortIy afterwards.) As a promotionaI gimmick during the release of Fangs of the Living Dead, the producers offered free psychiatric care to anyone who suffered emotionaI trauma after viewing the film. Starring Anita Ekberg, John Hamilton, Diana Lorys, Guy Robers, Adriana Ambesi, Carlos CasaraviIla and Fernando BiIbao. Directed by Armando De Ossorio. |
