The Whip and The Body
Directed by Mario Bava
A sadistic count (LORD OF THE RINGS' Christopher Lee) becomes a vengeful ghost who torments the living in Italian horror godfather Mario Bava's gothic nightmare. Famous for playing Dracula for Hammer Studios, Lee was the perfect choice to play Kurt Menliff, the sadistic son of a wealthy Count, who returns to the family castle, much to the dismay of his family and the beautiful woman with whom he shares a fondness for the lash. When Kurt is found murdered, his vengeful spirit cannot be contained by the grave, and he returns to Menliff Manor for revenge.

I would also like to be ravished by Christopher Lee’s ghost!! This is gothic horror perfection I love it!! Christopher Lee, castles, seashores, gorgeous actors. Actually reminds me of some the best hammer films, although this surpasses them. I’ve watched it 3 times and it just keeps getting better! This is going to be an all time fave!
