i saw this film when i be 10 or 11 year old and alone in my parent basement on a saturday night . it be be show on chiller theatre and a regular fright feature that i watch religiously a a young un . now and i have see many old horror film thanks to chiller theatre and but none ever stick with me like danse macabre and a. k. a. castle of blood . i be 51 now and and only last year be i fortunate enough to locate a relatively recent and quality dvd edition of this wonderfully shudder induce supernatural classic and have think i would never manage to see it again . i have already watch it four more time and and can not seem to get tire of it . they just do not make spook film like this one anymore . haunt catacomb and mist enshroud graveyard just do not work as well in color a they do in black and white back in the day . anyway and this one have edgar allen poe and barbara steele and deliciously shadowy and cobweb wrap haunt castle set and restless spirit re enact their death . and a wickedly ironic end . imo and this one right up there with robert wise the haunting and the innocent ( with deborah kerr ) and and the more recent the others .
