Castle of Blood is a 1964 Italian-French
horror film directed by Antonio Margheriti
and Sergio Corbucci.
The film was initially commissioned to
director Sergio Corbucci who had Gianni
Grimaldi and Bruno Corbucci set to write
the film.

The script is credited to a short story by Edgar
Allan Poe in the film's credits, but the film is
not based on any specific Poe work. According to
Ruggero Deodato, who was the assistant director
on set, he persuaded actress Barbara Steele to
star in the film. Deodato continued that Steele
had just done 8½ for director Frederico Fellini,
and wanted to distance herself from horror films.
When filming was about to begin, Sergio Corbucci
found his schedule conflicting and called upon
his friend Antonio Margheriti to direct the film.
To complete the film without going overtime,
Corbucci filmed one scene.

The film was released in Italy in 1964 and
received low box office numbers which led to
Margheriti remaking the film in colour as Web
of the Spider.

STORY:

A writer accepts a bet that he cannot spend the
night alone in a haunted castle on All Soul's
Eve. Once night falls at the castle, several
who had been murdered therein return to life,
reliving their deaths and seeking to kill the
writer for his blood in a vain attempt to stay
alive beyond that one night. Barbara Steele, as
one of the living dead, tries to aid his escape
from the castle.
