Hercules in the Haunted World

Ecalia. Her dark sickness. A distant drum. Daianara lies senseless, cursed by a poison meant to secure a throne. Hercules descends to the land of the dead for a cure, unaware of the treachery that awaits his return. Bava’s low-budget color schemes achieve maximum dread.
