The Whip and The Body
Directed by Mario Bava
A sadistic count (LORD OF THE RINGS' Christopher Lee) becomes a vengeful ghost who torments the living in Italian horror godfather Mario Bava's gothic nightmare. Famous for playing Dracula for Hammer Studios, Lee was the perfect choice to play Kurt Menliff, the sadistic son of a wealthy Count, who returns to the family castle, much to the dismay of his family and the beautiful woman with whom he shares a fondness for the lash. When Kurt is found murdered, his vengeful spirit cannot be contained by the grave, and he returns to Menliff Manor for revenge.

That was incredibly horny
Amazing movie - who wouldn't want to be seduced by Christopher Lee's ghost?
The cinematography is beautiful, so many cool shots in this film. Definitely one of Bava's best. The acting is superb, and lets be real here folks, its got Christopher Lee; How can you go wrong there?
Slow but the ending is worth it
