Tim Burton was quoted as saying that BLACK SUNDAY was a major influence in his filmmaking style, which is obvious when viewing this film with that in mind.
Thank you for the upload. ???? ????
Great old classic movie you’ll never see it again thank you
The uncut version runs 93 minutes. I believe this runs 87 minutes.
good movie but some crappy acting at the start
This, and City of The Dead…Killer Double-Feature!
Check out John Richardson in 1965’s SHE, a Hammer production. He is the lover of Ursula Andress (“She”) in this, along with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Classic film.
Based on "The Viy" by Russian author Nikolai Gogol, who also wrote "Taras Bulba". It was also made into another, more lavish color film called "Forbidden Empire."
gorgeous movie
Thank you very much for share the movie. And with automatic translation for portuguese. A hug. ????????????????????????????????????
Barbara Steele is Goddess

????????????‍♂️
Wow I loved your vibe is very cool, ❤???????? i love this movie
The two most impressive scenes in this film are when the egg-white eyes start to come back into the sockets of the witch & when the evil Igor materializes on the painting behind Constantine. Creepy stuff, done with no computers.
Trivia: The innkeeper's young daughter who milks the cow is the second of three children of actor Arturo Dominici — the actor who came out of the grave wearing Satan's mask (Igor).
Barbara Steele at Monsterpalooza walking thru the crowd is like seeing Royalty, just an amazing beautiful woman, and very approachable and appreciative , an elegant woman
im gonna nominate this channel for a Rondo Award, if not now, when?
one of my favs… thanks!
Starring Gary Neumans mum ????????????????????
Great flic, never saw when I was younger. Good enough to be enjoyed at 55 ????
Greetings fron Bs As city and thanks !!!
This happens to me all the time ????
I saw this movie back in the mid 60s on TV. Never forgot it but couldn't remember the title. Last year came across it after looking up Barbara Steele. Saw her in an episode of Night Gallery, "The Sin Eater". Just a bit part, but she really has that creep factor about her. Creepiest woman in horror films! She's great!
06:45 if you want to get straight to the film…
Boring movie, overrated actress.
this woman's unconscious we better get her blouse off !
Yes — Thank you, Alyne! You do SO much for those of us who wear our "Goth" on our sleeve …. Love your artwork!!!
Here is another film based on the same story that inspired "Black Sunday". It is a Russian film called "Viy" and it follows the original story more closely: https://youtu.be/4YmQn6q36HQ?si=GqQYjNbOL_tsEFjk
It is very cool with lots of interesting effects and a light tone, almost comic. It has one of my favorite movie witches. It is only about 75 minutes and it is definitely worth watching.
First time I saw her was this one. Young, intense..those eyes, man! No Hammer girl this; she carved her own niche in the genre. Terrific post, Ms. Mysterious. Thank you from Florida ????

Happy Halloween.

One of the hardest openings ever. Happy Halloween
does someone have a link of the music at 1:06:16 ? it is not on the les baxter’s album
Definitely one of my favourite movies, I’ve seen it for the first time yesterday night and I’m obsessed !
But I can’t find the piano music played by Katia, can anyone help please ? ????????
This is the first Barbara Steele film I've seen. She was great playing two separate roles, and she was so joyfully evil that performance was awesome. I love the introduction you gave and your anecdotes. It gave context and set the tone for the film, which I didn't know a lot about going into. Thanks for sharing!
So terrible and hammy and cliche-ridden it becomes, unintentionally, a low comedy.
I feel like any horror or film fan would become an instant fan on seeing a Barbara movie, no doubt about it
❤I love horror movies, cheers ❤
Cheesey with cheese on top.
Someone please find me the piece or soundtrack that katia plays on the piano

Me Encanta El Terror GĂłtico Y Sus PelĂculas Me Parecen Excelentes Pero Desgraciadamente, No Están En Español, las PodrĂan Al Menos Subtitular Al Español por Favor….Muchas Gracias ????????????
You mentioned my favorite scene! That image of Barbara with the dogs in the castle ruins, pure magic!
Wasn't this movie also known as The Mask of Satan, and isn't John Richardson part of the huge English Richardson family of actors? I too have been a fan of Barbara Steele since she started, and she is the best! No wonder she walked away from the trash that still is Hollywood, land of the forever superhero remakes of Marvel and others. They ran out of talent about 50 years ago!
This was a fantastic film. I've never seen it before. Thanks so much ????
Is the AIP version of Black Sunday?
I knew of this one thanks to Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments of All Time, but I never got around to seeing it, thanks for putting it up here.
