Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSometime around 1997, there emerged a massive Internet hoax which claimed that a Siberian borehole had penetrated the Earth's crust into Hell itself, with "proof" being an audio recording of the screaming souls of the damned. This urban legend (variously known as the "Siberian Sounds of Hell" or "The Well to Hell" hoax) featured in many tabloids, and was even cited by some Christian groups as hard proof of a real Hell. The sound effects supposedly recorded within the borehole were actually a combination of story elements from a radio broadcast "Quiet Please - The Thing on the Fourble Board", and audio lifted from this film.
- GoofsWhile being chased through the streets by Baron Blood, Eva runs into the same alley twice (with the same advertisement plastered against the building).
- Alternate versionsItalian version runs 98 minutes; USA version, titled Baron Blood (1972) removes about eight minutes of footage for pacing.
- ConnectionsEdited into Baron Blood: Die Burg des Teufels - Locationtour (2017)
Featured review
Nice Atmosphere
The one thing this film has going for it is a nice atmosphere for horror fans... fog/smoke, old castles, incantation for raising the dead, scary torture chamber, weird but well filmed scenes, a witch and, above all, a mad sadist ghost or demon! The story is alright enough, not to bad.
Joseph Cotten as Baron Otto von Kleist aka Baron Blood / Alfred Becker was good - he was better in this horror film than I anticipated (I really don't think of Cotten as a horror actor that's why I mentioned it).
One thing about these types of films - the living dead or undead always seems to have plenty of money - filthy rich they are! How does a long time dead man get such riches without selling off his gold? The money has changed over the years (I think in every country) so how can he spend it - sell it I suppose to those interested in old money I guess. Whatever, I still by into it for a movie. LOL.
Not a bad film to watch for fans of the older horror - in particular the Italian horror films.
6/10
