My Thoughts:
This is only the second time for me watching this one. While it is not nearly as good as the original movie. It is definitely worth the time put in to watch it. I didn't even recognize Meg Tilly playing Mary. She of course was much younger then she was in anything else I have seen her in. She never did much for me before... but she was right cute when she was young.

The Murder Mansion, a review by Jimmy
Not everything in this set can be included in my horror marathon and sometimes this is not really evident to know before watching. So I will review the 50 movies included in the set here.
Title : The Murder Mansion (1972)
Overview
A young couple joins a group of travelers stranted at a fog-bound mansion to wait out the bad weather. While everyone tries to deal with each other, they must also contend with the creepy surroundings of the ancient manor and its adjoining cemetary. When the guests are beset upon by unliving residents from the graveyard, they must try to band together in order to survive the nightmare
My Impression
This one is from Spain, but this is not a great exemple of an euro-horror movie. The movie is really slow and nothing really happen on screen and it's kind of sad since the setting is a good one for an horror movie. The movie can't decide if it is a vampire story or living dead story or a ghost story, but the dubbing is mostly responsible for this. The movie conclude with some kind of a Scooby Doo ending. The print quality is relatively good, too dark in the outdoor night scene and too blurry in the fog scene but no real scratches or defect on the print. It's really evident that this movie isn't in its correct ratio.

I quite enjoy this series and the pilot is a good introduction to it. What I appreciated with the beginning of this series is, that they take some time until the female lead finds out about her love interest being a vampire. Usually in a series like this it happens in the pilot that the guy his to reveal his origins to the female lead after having to save her.
