The premise
A vengeful witch, Asa Vajda, and her fiendish servant, Igor Jauvitch, return from the grave and begin a bloody campaign to possess the body of the witch's beautiful look-alike descendant: Katia. Only a handsome doctor with the help of family members stand in her way.
Horror Vault's take
A condemned witch and her demonic companion rise from centuries of entombment, setting their sights on a living woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to the sorceress herself. Director Mario Bava crafts a visually sumptuous nightmare in stark black and white, drawing on Gothic European folklore to build a world of fog-drenched crypts and creeping dread. Barbara Steele delivers a mesmerizing dual performance that anchors one of Italian horror cinema's most iconic early entries.
