The Long Hair of Death1964

Horror Vault's take

Set in a fog-drenched 15th-century village, this Italian Gothic chiller opens with a woman condemned to death on fabricated charges of witchcraft — her real crime being the unwanted attention of a powerful and ruthless lord. Her surviving daughter is left to navigate a world of dangerous men and dark secrets, while forces beyond the natural world begin to stir. Barbara Steele commands the screen with her trademark otherworldly intensity, lending the film an air of doom that lingers long after the credits roll. Slow-burning and visually lush, it's a tale of injustice that refuses to stay buried.
