Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaShot at Oakley Court, previously the home of Hammer Films. Three years later The Rocky Horror Picture Show would also be filmed here.
- GoofsA younger stunt double takes over the fall midway down at approximately 36:00. As she "lands" at the bottom of the stairs she appears to be crawling into position before she comes to a full stop. Her resting position changes between shots. First her skirts are up with petticoats showing. In the next shot her legs have moved and her skirts are now discreetly at her ankles. No character touched her in between.

[Charles explains that his family's ancestral manse is haunted]
Charles Fengriffen: Ghosts galore. Headless horsemen, horseless headsmen, everything.
- Alternate versionsUS version is missing two scenes from the original British release: Peter Cushing's discovery of an eyeless corpse and Ian Ogilvy's smashing the skeleton against a gravestone.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Deadly Earnest's Nightmare Theatre: And Now the Screaming Starts! (1978)
This Amicus production (Max Rosenberg and Milton Subotsky) is a good terror film with malevolent spectres and family curses and with amazing final surprise . The movie is plenty of grisly murders , tension , terror , genuine screaming , horrible chills and a little bit of blood and gore . The picture packs a creepy atmosphere and strange color by the fine cinematographer Dennis Cop . The casting is frankly well , there appears various awesome British actors , the always excellent Peter Cushing , Patrick McGee , Guy Rolfe and the habitual villain Herbert Lom who does not appear at all until the last quarter of the film . The tale was rightly directed by Roy War Baker who realized magnificent terror films (Quatermass and the pit) . Motion picture will appeal to British horror enthusiasts .
