Description

Black Sunday (Unidis, 1960). Italian 2 - Fogli (39" X 55") Giuliano Nistri Artwork.
Generally considered to be the foremost example of Italian Gothic horror, this darkly atmospheric black and white chiller put director Mario Bava on the international map and made the bewitching Barbara Steele a star. Steele plays Princess Asa, a high priestess of Satan who is gruesomely executed in 1600s Moldavia by having a spiked mask hammered into her face. Before she dies, Asa vows revenge on the family who killed her and returns from the grave two centuries later to keep her promise. Touchup has been applied to the folds with small crossfold separations, pinholes in the border and interior, and two minor chips in the top and bottom borders. The top left corner has been restored. Artwork by Giuliano Nistri. Very Fine- on Linen.
