film dominate by raven haired barbara steele and it be see when i be seven or eight and create permanent image of pallid vampiric men and woman stalk a castle and seek blood . steele be an icon of horror film and an otherworldly beauty and and the view of the walk dead pre date romero night of the living dead shamblers and unify them in my mind . i do not see the connection between this film and the haunting and which be clever but ambiguous about the force present . la danza macabre be a b movie without pretention and dare you to fall in love with barbara steele and suffer the consequence . there no such draw to haunt overwrought claire bloom . the comparison to the haunting be superficial . and no and this movie do not need to be remake . not only be it a product of the sixty and but the large percentage of talentless cretin in hollywood can not fathom macabre formula for terror . that formula be base on one override factor represent good writing . low grade classic like castle and corman poe film with r. matheson and tourneur out of the past share a commonality of strong writing . it simple . get a real writer like richard matheson or steve mcquarrie and let them put a plot into today cinematic mess . besides that and let hollywood attempt some original material for a change and and stop exploit the obviously superior product of the past .
