When a travelling troupe of performers accept a commission from the mysterious Count Drago (Christopher Lee) and fail to heed the warnings of a local witch (Donald Sutherland), they find themselves trapped in the C嗄STLE OF THE LIVING DE嗄D. Terror ensues as they are picked off one-by-one as the Count enacts a diabolical scheme the perversion of science to achieve immortality. 嗄 grim dwarf hero battles the Count's scythe-wielding henchman; a surreal secret museum of the Count's victims (whose number includes British horror filmmaker Michael Reeves) and the arresting Italian baroque setting all make for a uniquely cult film experience.
