The journalist Alan Foster makes a bet than he can spend one night at the haunted Blackwood Castle. As he learns, the rumors of ghosts at the castle are indeed true. On All Soul's Eve the ghosts of the castle search for blood to tide them over for another year. In the castle Foster meet and fall in love with Elizabeth Blackwood. Written by Mattias Thuresson
A haunted house romp that lacks the romp. Klaus Kinski is terrible as Edgar Allan Poe and Tony Franciosa of NAME OF THE GAME TV fame is embarrassing as an American reporter who spends a night in a haunted mansion outside London. Badly written, badly acted, badly edited. No scares, no chills, nothing. The "ghosts" are also apparently vampires! Or maybe they are just vampires. Who knows? Who cares? This is one of those early 70s Italian knockoffs of Roger Corman's Poe series. The claustrophobic sets are all that stands between this being a movie and a total joke. Avoid it. A little nudity and more explicit violence couldn't have hurt, but this is one of those hacked-up, heavily edited jobs for the American market.
