I used to watch a lot of those campy, gory films (especially from the 70s) when I was younger. I have probably forgotten many of them, but no I don't think I saw that one. I have these pictures in my head from some very hilarious scenes that I just can't place in concrete films. It's been a while since I've watched them.

No, nothing to do with any of the Wagner's operas (I think). It is, in fact, loosely based on a horror story by one famous 19c. Russian writer. (Unless there is some connection between this story and some Wagner's opera, but I don't think so). This film is Italian, by the way.

The director is considered to be the father of Italian giallo, which is not so obvious from this film. All of his films are beautifully shot, great feeling for light and shade and later for the composition of colors (very rich colors).
