A loose adaptation of a H. P. Lovecraft's 'The Dreams in the Witch House' that just keeps the 'dreams' and 'witch house' part and not much else, instead adding in the usual plot of evil satanic cults that 60s and 70s horror films were filled with. Like most of these films, the cultists are dressed boring, just in monk habits and animal masks, but unlike the likes of
The Devil Rides Out,
The Wicker Man or
The Devil's Rain, this one adds in a kinky BDSM element with an unnamed executioner wearing this studded helmet adorned with deer antlers...and nothing much else!
The cult's leader Lavinia, played by Barbara Steele in various dream sequences, is dressed totally glam however, in a brown dress with golden mesh sleeves and blue gems stuck on the chest, completed with a ram horn headpiece that is itself fitted with feathers - Steele's blue facepaint definitely helping add to the over the top feeling!
