YMMV / The Castle of the Living Dead

Go To

  • Complete Monster:
    • Count Drago is a Man of Wealth and Taste with a fascination for the "beauty" inherent in preserving and stuffing animals in an almost-living death. Developing a chemical that instantly kills and paralyzes its victims, Drago turns to serial murder to slake his obsession, building up a room full of dozens of petrified "statues" while killing several members of a circus troupe that visits him, either poisoning them or permitting the sadism of his right-hand Sandro. Drago, lusting over the beauty of the female heroine, shows her his gallery and all her dead friends at gunpoint before attempting to kill her to preserve her forever.
    • Sandro is the right hand of Count Drago. A grinning, sadistic monster of a man, Sandro lures in victims to be killed and embalmed as the "living dead" by his master. Not content with this, Sandro is the chief instrument of death for his depraved master, hunting down the victims and killing them in cruel and inventive ways. Sandro begins to do the same to the hapless troupe, even throwing the one dwarf from a tower when he gets in Sandro's way.
