Alberto De Martino's The Blancheville Monster borrows elements from a variety of Edgar Allen Poe short stories to craft an early '60s horror film that is more akin to the American-produced films of Roger Corman than the European horror films of the day. Most notably, the film takes its plot from "The Fall of the House of Usher," as a crazed count fears his young daughter will fall victim to the family curse. With a script written by Spaghetti Western legend Bruno Corbucci, The Blancheville Monster is a hidden gem that makes for great late-night viewing.
