The Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee brings together five of these Lee classics the 1964 gothic shocker Crypt of the Vampire; the 1964 cult hit Castle of the Living Dead costarring an unknown Donald Sutherland; 1962s Celebrated Sherlock Holmes and The Deadly Necklace; 1967s lurid favorite The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism and the rarelyseen 1963 oddity Challenge the Devil with the 24 surviving episodes of the 1971 Film Polski anthology series Theatre Macabre hosted by Lee, all remastered from original negative materials with over 10 hours of trailers, rare promos, audio commentaries vintage interviews, plus the Castle of the Living Dead soundtrack and an allnew 88page book by Lee biographer Jonathan Rigby. The Castle of the Living Dead (1964) In the final film of his early 60s European period, Christopher Lee stars as a 19th century Count who invites a theatrical troupe for a weekend of horrors that boasts an enthusiastically creepy performance by Lee, startling locations in Lazio, Italys OrsiniOdescalchi Castle and Park of the Monsters, secondunit direction by Michael Reeves (Witchfinder General) and the screen debut of Donald Sutherland as both a doofus gendarme and a hunchbacked hag. Philippe Leroy (The Night Porter) and Jacques Stany (Violence in a Womens Prison) costar in this 1964 FrenchItalian coproduction from American producer Paul Maslansky who would go on to produce Death Line and the and fellow expat writer/director Warren Kiefer after whom Sutherland would name his son now scanned in 4K from the Italian negative for the first time ever. Runtime: 90 mins Audio: English Mono / Closed captions Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1 Challenge the Devil aka Katarsis (1963) In the most obscure film of his early 60s Italian period if not his entire career Christopher Lee stars in this brilliantly bizarre combination of neorealist crime thriller, tawdry Christian melodrama, fizzy cabaret musical and trippy gothic horror, culminating in a gang of bongocrazed delinquents menaced by a whitehaired Lee as a sinister Victorian who may be Satan himself. George Ardisson (Hercules in the Haunted World) stars in this staggering 1963 oddity that marked the sole screen credit of writer/director Guiseppe Vegezzi, who attempted suicide shortly before its release. Also known as Katarsis and littleseen for over 50 years, it is now scanned in 2K from the Italian negative for the first time ever. Runtime: 79 mins Audio: Italian Mono/ English subtitles closed captions Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1 Crypt of the Vampire (1964) In a lavish gothic shocker inspired by Sheridan Le Fanus immortal novella Carmilla, Christopher Lee delivers a rare hero turn as nobleman Count Karnstein whose foreboding castle teems with ancestral curses, unnatural desires, philosophical hunchbacks and grisly acts of vengeance. Adriana Ambesi (Fangs of the Living Dead) costars in this 1964 SpanishItalian coproduction also known as Terror in the Crypt and Crypt of Horror directed by Camillo Mastrocinque (An Angel for Satan) as Thomas Miller Robert Spafford from a screenplay by giallo master Ernesto Gastaldi (All the Colors of the Dark) as Julian Berry and Sergio Leone prot�g� Tonino Valerii (My Name is Nobody) as Robert Bohr, now featuring a 2k scan from a finegrain 35mm master print. Runtime: 85 mins Audio: English Italian Mono / Closed captions Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace (1962) Shortly after their hit collaboration on The Hound of the Baskervilles, Christopher Lee and director Terence Fisher (Horror of Dracula) returned to Holmesiana for Lees sole feature film portrayal of the worlds greatest detective. Shot in Berlin with Hammer regular Thorley Walters as Dr. Watson, Lee considered it to be one of the best things Ive ever done because I tried to play Holmes really as he was written as a very intolerant, argumentative, difficult man. Senta Berger (When Women Had Tails) and Ivan Desney (The Marriage of Maria Braun) costar in this 1962 West GermanFrenchItalian coproduction produced by Artur Brauner (Vampyros Lesbos) from a screenplay by Curt Siodmak (The Wolf Man) and based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Valley of Fear, now scanned in 2K from the German negative. Runtime: 86 mins Audio: English German Mono / English subtitles on German, closed captions on English Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1 Theatre Macabre (19711972)Christopher Lee hosted this anthology television series originally produced by Film Polski (Knife in the Water, The Tin Drum) in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Boris Karloffs Thriller. Lee delivers the intro and outro for each halfhour at his imposing and often cheeky best, while the tales themselves adapted from stories by Poe, Dostoevsky, Ambrose Bierce, Robert Louis Stevenson and Oscar Wilde are written and/or directed by filmmakers that include Andrzej Zulawski (Possession) and Academy Award winner Andrzej Wajda (Man of Iron). Dubbed into English and featuring additional dialogue by Jesse Lasky Jr. (The Ten Commandments, 7 Women From Hell) with new theme music by Ron Goodwin (Village of the Damned, Frenzy), it has remained largely unseen since its brief airing on American TV in 1971. These 24 surviving episodes have now been scanned in 2K from the original negatives. Runtime: 610 mins Audio: English Mono / Closed captions Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (1967) Christopher Lee stars as Count Regula, an insane nobleman found guilty of murdering a dozen virgins and drawnandquartered for his crimes. But when a lawyer former Tarzan Lex Barker is summoned to the Counts castle 35 years later, he will unlock a wildly entertaining (Buried dot com) odyssey of torture, dismemberment and creepy Bavarian locations that is equal parts Mario Bava and Hieronymus Bosch. Karin Dor (You Only Live Twice) and Dieter Eppler (Slaughter of the Vampires) costar in this 1967 underrated gem (The Telltale Mind) also known as Castle of the Walking Dead, Blood of the Virgins and The Blood Demon directed by krimi veteran Harald Reinl and loosely based on Poes The Pit the Pendulum, now scanned in 4K from the original German negative with allnew Special Features.
