在这部血魔传奇恐怖片中,安东尼奥·马格赫特的第一部也是最受争议的恐怖电影作品。一个年轻人和朋友打赌，独自前往一个闹鬼的城堡过夜，途中邂逅并爱上了一个美丽的女鬼，随后却陷入了一群鬼的阴谋之中。马格赫特也是为意大利恐怖电影贡献了无数杰出作品的人物，这本片中，他充分利用黑白摄影以及城堡自身的幽闭制造恐惧感，并赋于影片更多的暴力、色情场景，远远超出了当时的电影观众的接受能力。
A writer accepts a bet that he cannot spend the night alone in a haunted castle on All Soul's Eve. Once night falls at the castle, several who had been murdered therein return to life, reliving their deaths and seeking to kill the writer for his blood in a vain attempt to stay alive beyond that one night. Barbara Steele, as one of the living dead, tries to aid his escape from the castle.
