I have vague recollections of a mid-60s or early-70s film that was shot probably in Romania - with castles and such. Were there was a traveling troupe of performers which including a sword swallower, a midget, and a big guy who wasn't too bright. When they are invited to do a show at a local aristocrat's castle, they take the time to do so, and stay for the night. Then, one by one, each meets with a mysterious accident. Once scene that I remember particularly, is when the dwarf gets shot in the eye with a crossbow (I think it was the dwarf anyway). I saw this several times on eastcoast UHF stations during the 70s, but haven't seen it since.
Any ideas in the title, my friends?????????
Thanks!!!

I was just about to post that suggestion as it was the only decent hit from a google keyword search (although other plots synopsis of the film make it sound completely different): http://us.imdb.de/title/tt0057924/But do you honestly not remember Donald Sutherland OR Christopher Lee? Those are two people you tend not to forget

It's been SO many years since I've seen it (and I only saw it once) - I just remember the troupe leader who does a self-hanging trick and a dwarf who gets a crossbow bolt in the eye.

It was indeed Castle Of The Living Dead (aka Il Castello Dei Morti Vivi) - now if anyone has English subtitles or an English version that would be great! (I've found only an Italian language version so far)

It was the first one (which also has just Italian audio) Can't locate another version on eMule and no torrents either It's a public domain title now, AFAIK. I'll try the 2nd one, but I'm in agreement with you that it's probably Italian only.

Bravo, looks like a candidate for a re-rip.

Indeed! Let's hope someone has a VHS copy - sounds like it would be better than the DVD (the Italian rip was in pretty poor shape).

il.castello.dei.morti.vivi_mp3.ita_satrip_xvid-cinetronic.avi is a BEAUTIFUL copy, but it IS in Italian (with Italian credits) - if we could get a copy of English audio for the film, they could be edited together for a great copy.

That would be fine also - but we still need an English version.
