| Post subject: | Questions on a Classic "lost" horror ! (19xx) |
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!!! --- DeathStalker |

No, checked IMDB - definitely NOT "Vampire Circus".

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. |

Sounds like a Paul Naschy film I can't place right now... |

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)

I found these: ed2k: Il%20castello%20dei%20morti%20vivi.avi [699.40 Mb] [Stats] ed2k: Il.Castello.Dei.Morti.Vivi_MP3.iTA_SATRiP_XViD-CiNETRONiC.avi [892.28 Mb] [Stats] Which one did you download? The SatRip should have a better picture but probably Italian audio. On Amazon.com they are selling the VHS (dubbed in English) and a DVD (which according to the comments is a shitty VHS transfer - language unknown?). [ Add all 2 links to your ed2k client ] |

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. |

Since the original language is Italian, I would prefer that plus English soft subtitles. The easiest way to create the subtitles would be to use the English dubbed version.

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