what (1963)

aka The Whip And The Body. La frusta e il corpo.
"Kurt, you are not my son, you are a serpant."
A 19th Century nobleman (Christopher Lee) returns to the ancestral castle after years of wandering, and immediately sets about alienating his extended family. So much so that when he is subsequently found murdered, suspicion falls on all of them. Then his ghost is seen roaming...
Standard Gothic horror, with added sado-masochistic tendencies, and the visual flare that Bava brings to all his films.
