That way at least we'd care if he got loose or not. "Baron Blood" is the nickname of the evil Count Whatsizname (Joseph Cotten), who is brought back from the dead by an incantation recited by his moronic American cousin (who is in Austria on a vacation, and how much does he expect for five dollars a day, anyway?). Stelvio Cipriani’s repetitive score doesn’t quite fit with the source material, but at least sounds nice in this mix. Not to say it was bad. The main source of inspiriation for Baron Blood (1972) is Antonio Margheriti's The Virgin of Nuremberg (1963). Here, he meets Eva, an attractive architectural assistant, and shows her an old parchment that will allegedly resurrect the Baron, if read aloud at midnight in the castle.

Warning: Spoilers. Mixing elements of Bava’s previous movies such as the witches curse from Black Sunday and the 70’s occult scares from Lisa and the Devil along with the movies star Elke Sommer Baron Blood is an enjoyable horror with a great villain in Baron Blood with his melted face and menacing moans.

You're almost there! Your Blood Will Run Cold and BoxOffice Hot when "BAR0N BLOOD" comes to town! Scenes of the heroine being hunted by the living dead Baron Von Kleist still make me nervous and I must've seen this film 20 times ( I own a VHS and a laserdisc copy of it if that shows how much I enjoy it). Pacing fees weird but film is good overall. Peter meets the gorgeous Eva Arnold (Elke Sommer) that works restoring the castle and invites her to go with him to the castle after dinner to read an incantation written in an ancient parchment that would evoke the family course and bring the Baron back to life. Centuries later his sole heir returns to sell the place but in the process releases a curse that held the Baron captive, allowing him to return and once again commit his murderous deeds. Mario Bava was above any star he could ever put into a film for he was the star of the film behind the camera. Either way though, it is a scary, fun horror masterpiece that I always enjoy watching again and again. The plotline is the opposite of Mask of Satan(1960) where in this film the witch is not evil. The chance to meet his infamous ancestor: who could resist? Recent copies of the film are widescreen which is good, but have the original Italian score.

Step Two: Pick a Number. Free movies on YouTube, Vimeo, and Other Corners of the Internet. Yes, slightly above average horror movie, I agree.
So evocative of that period is this film that it takes not even a moment's thought to mentally recast Boris Karloff as the Baron, Nan Grey as his intended victim and to tune away the vivid Technicolor into haunting black and white.
When Eva is stalked and nearly killed by a mysterious figure, she and Peter rush to find a way to put the sadistic Baron back in his grave.
This is one of your more straightforward plots concerning a sadistic evil baron brought back from the dead by accident. When villagers mysterious disappear and Eva is chased by a weird man, they realize that they have released the Baron and they do not have the parchment anymore to call the incantation off. Later that night, Peter produces an old manuscript that has an incantation on it to recall the baron from Hell.

Terrifically brought to live by Mario Bava! The horrid 70s song that opens and closes the movie should have never been recorded. Their hope is that the clairvoyant and medium Christina Hoffmann (Rada Rassimov), who is a descendant of Elisabeth, might help them.
Mario Bava is one of the best Italian horror directors, his name is synonymous with terror! Little girl knows of Baron, says she seem him around castle and way from school.
Baron Blood is one of my favourite Mario Bava films.
This glorious Italian horror film made by Mario Bava concerns a young couple(Antonio Cantafora,Elke Sommer)who manage to revive a cruel sorcerer-Baron Otto Von Kleist(Joseph Cotten)from the 1500s.Posing as a cripple,the Baron assimilates back into society and buys back his old castle,where he begins torturing and murdering innocent locals in his dungeon.It takes an enchanted amulet to defeat him,as all his victims rise from the grave for revenge.Veteran filmmaker Mario Bava's direction is truly splendid,the cast features plenty of Euro-horror regulars including Massimo Girotti,Luciano Pigozzi and young Nicoletta Elmi and there are some memorable horror set-pieces for example we see scenes containing:disfigured characters,hanged people,characters locked inside of a torture device and a couple of crusty zombies.The film is stylish and offers plenty of wonderful Gothic atmosphere.The use of lighting is especially notable. Sign up here. The widescreen copy is supposedly uncut but I can't tell any difference other than the framing and the score. **Spoilers**. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic_vEsIeod8. As usual, Bava seems dismissive of things like story, character and acting, and concentrates on creating a memorable mise-en-scene, which makes a lot of the juxtaposition of the old and the contemporary: an ancient castle with a Coke machine, Elke Sommer in a miniskirt running through old fog-shrouded streets, etc. If you are expecting something down the line of 'Bloody Pit of Horror', you are just like me and dead wrong. The acting in the film is competent, but what makes this a great horror film is the visual landscapes Bava paints for us, whether it is a sadistic caped killer rampaging the tiny streets of a dark European night filled with fog or the stately grandeur of the animated dead within the confines of the castle, Bava is an artist using colours like a Rembrandt or Picasso. Cursed by a witch before he was burnt at the stake by the villagers for his crimes against them Peter is intrigued to find out more about Baron Blood. He meets an architecture student named Eva and they find out the Baron was cursed under a witch's spell. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google privacy policy and terms of service apply.

| Rotten (6). Unsubscribe at any time. This may be even more apparent in the uncut version of Baron Blood, as the American version, which I ended up with, has eight minutes of cuts, at least some of which is supposedly gore shots.
A reasonable stab at a contemporary gothic horror but totally carried by great cinematography as always in addition to the fantastic castle setting. Nowhere near Bava's best and significantly more standard Giallo fare then I would expect from the maestro. TMDb
