viy (1967)
aka Spirt of Evil.
"I summon the vampires! I summon the werewolves!... I summon Viy!"
Khoma (Leonid Kuravlyov) a novice monk is ordered to preside over the wake of a witch, which means he has to spend three nights alone with the corpse, something that will test his faith.
Supposedly the first horror film made in Russia, this is a Ukranian folktale that provides a fun fairytale atmosphere, though no true scares.
