This film is also called "Danza Macabre" and is a gothic horror Italian 1964 film directed by Antonio Margheriti and Sergio Corbucci. The stars includes Barbara Steele, Georges Riviere and Margrete Robshame.
In a Victorian London pub, Edger Allan Poe is talking to journalist Alan Foster, when he agrees to visit an abandoned castle to a bet. Now most of this film takes place is an eerie shadowy castle filled with past relics, cobwebs, dust and stories of ghosts. It was where a couple of newlyweds on their honeymoon stayed but were never seen again so this was a mystery.
Barbara Steel originally refused to appear in this because of a topless scene so they used a body double wearing a wig. Also her name doesn't appear in the opening credits in the original version. Another name of this movie is "Castle of Terror", "Coffin of Terror" and "Long Night of Terror". A slow but creepy atmospheric film that should be watched with the lights on! I rate this dark gem a score of 8/10.
