If you are a ghost story, horror, or Barbara Steele (BLACK SUNDAY, NIGHTMARE CASTLE) fan, then CASTLE OF BLOOD (aka: DANSE MACABRE) belongs in your collection. It's the perfect haunted house movie, featuring vampiric ghosts, ghouls, and a bit of gratuitous nudity! As for the animal cruelty involved, yes, there's the infamous, totally unnecessary "snake scene". What can I say? I HATE this useless scene! However, I love the rest of this classic! Well worth owning...
