The Story:
In the misty village of Greymarsh, antiques dealer Robert Manning (Mark Eden) arrives at the foreboding Craxted Lodge seeking his missing brother Peter, last seen pursuing a rare artifact from the enigmatic squire Robert Morley (Christopher Lee), whose opulent home hides dark secrets tied to 17th-century witchcraft.
As Robert and his companion Eve (Virginia Wetherell) delve deeper, hallucinatory visions plague him—ghostly seductresses, crimson rituals, and the spectral Lavinia (Barbara Steele), a burned witch whose cult endures under Morley’s influence, blurring the line between sanity and sorcery while a nervous butler (Michael Gough) whispers warnings of ancient curses.
Beware the shadows of Craxted Lodge, where psychedelic nightmares ignite in a blaze of betrayal and unholy revelation, starring horror icons Boris Karloff as the cryptic Professor Walsh—dare you witness the Crimson Altar’s unhallowed rite?
