Black Sunday. Trailer.
A beautiful witch is sentenced to death for her evil deeds by her own brother, condemned to die by having a metal mask hammered onto her face, before being burnt at the stake. As she passes and the spikes of the death mask pierce her flesh, she puts a terrible curse on all her future descendants...
But, when two unwitting travellers discover her final resting place and worse, drip blood on her resting corpse, they unleash her once again in all her stunningly beautiful, terrifying glory... Banned in the UK on its release, Black Sunday is a groundbreaking film that opened the door for Spaghetti horror in all its gory glory.
In addition to the original European version of the film, the deluxe edition release of Black Sunday features the worldwide debut of the American version. This alternate version of the film, by American International Pictures, has never been available before, Anywhere in the World!
Also included in the set is I Vampiri, the very first Sound-era Italian horror film, by Riccardo Freda and Mario Bava. Freda wagered he could finish the film in 12 days but stormed off the set after 10, leaving cameraman Bava to finesse the story, finish shooting and complete the film within the remaining two days.
