Tales from the Video Vault
'Castle of the Living Dead'Serena Films, 1964: This film belongs to the genre of cheap period horror films that were churned out in Europe throughout the 1960s. They were taken somewhat seriously by audiences there, but largely ended up in drive-ins over here. The film has a creepy and cozy Gothic feel, from the gypsy caravan wagon used by the troupe, to the requisite rowdy tavern (“Wench! More wine!”) to the Count’s ghastly castle. |
