jaragon Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is a superior horror great script, direction and cast . Lee is specially good - there really should have been a sequel. Hammer obviously spent the money on this one- it's a great looking production too bad the special effects are not as effective as they could be- even for 1968. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it on the big screen when it came out,believe me the effects were good,it was a scary movie and a very different film in the horror genre for the period,i never saw it again for more than 20 years it aged well,.One of the very best film of Christopher Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaragon Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Love love this movie- it one of Hammer's and Christopher Lee's finest productions. Lee really should have returned as de Richeleau in another movie- or better yet in series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Markoff Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Aye. From the novel written by Dennis Wheatley, part of his strange penchant for writing occult-espionage-supernatural-detective stories after the war. Wheatley was an illustrious member of the London Controlling Section in WWII. Basically, he was a British spymaster; colleague of Ian Fleming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wheatley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
