Don’t let the title or the Gothic and gory cover of this DVD seduce you into expecting a night of blood-drenched horror, because this mid-60s thriller is practically blood free. What it lacks in guts, though, it more than makes up for in atmospheric creepiness in the story of a crazed artist (William Campbell) who murders women then poses them so he can capture their corpses on canvas. Is he insane? Or is he possessed by the spirit of a woman who testified against his great grandfather causing him to be burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft. Maybe he’s just a vampire who prefers to dine on beatnik chicks who pose for him. Who knows, and who cares? The less you think, the more you’ll enjoy this movie.
