Castle of the Living Dead-, 10 July 2006
Author: DisgorgedMenstrualSludge from Hell

A small group of traveling stage performers are asked to do their show at a counts castle, deep in the woods. They make the journey, but have an unfortunate accident when one of their own is killed during the play (he was drugged). Of course, no one suspects the count (Christopher Lee) of anything so they all spend the night. The next day during the funeral, the count's deranged henchman begins killing off the other performers to use them as experiments for a chemical he invented that preserves corpses perfectly. This is a good creepy movie filmed in black and white, which makes it even more unsettling. Lee's performance is decent but not one of his best.
