The Black Castle (1952)

A man investigates the disappearance of two of his friends who were the guests of a sinister Austrian count.
The film was Universal’s final attempt to return to its glory days of the Gothic horror of the 30s and 40s. One would think that with both Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney in the cast, the film would be better. Unfortunately both are relegated to small supporting roles.
Following this film, Universal would more or less abandon the old style Gothic horror films for the new wave of atomic giant monster films.
