i saw this movie a a kid on creature feature when i live in new york . it be a pretty creepy movie and though not as good a horror hotel . i just buy this movie on dvd and and it be different from what i remember because in the dvd that i buy there be several scene where the actor speak in french and or or italian and no subtitle be provide . then the other actor respond in english to what be be say . kind of weird . also on the dvd box and the name of some of the actor be spell differently than on imdb . aside from that and this movie be different in that the character of elsie take her clothes off and provide a nude shot in one scene and in another scene julia try to force elizabeth ( barbara steele ) to make out with her by push her down on the bed and kiss her while steele resists . that scene exist in the tv version and but it be very edited . i wonder if there be any extra footage that could be incorporate into a remastered ultra edition . it seem sad that some of these old low budget classic have be splice to bit and sell in all kind of edited version . where be the master tape and all the unused footage . aside from the first boring twenty minute before allen be deliver to the castle and the rest of the movie be pretty good . there aren not too many special effect ( but herbert face after julia club him be a good one ) . the creepy atmosphere and the strange and exotic and and seductive look of barbara steele make the movie a lot good than it should be . i can honestly say that if barbara steele have not be in this film and it would be a big zero . she make the movie a ten .
