Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973)

In the gloomy shadows of 1454 France, the ominous sorcerer Alaric de Marnac and his enthralling mistress, Mabille De Lancré, meet a gruesome end. Accusations of witchcraft, vampirism, and lycanthropy precede their brutal demise; Alaric is decapitated while Mabille faces a torturous death. As their lives extinguish, a chilling curse seeps into the lineage of their executioners, promising a haunting future. Fast forward to the psychedelic 70s; Alaric's descendant, Hugo de Marnac, together with Sylvia, and their troupe of friends, which includes Maurice Roland and his enamored Paula, find themselves entranced by the supernatural. A séance session becomes the gateway to the past, as they summon the spirit of Alaric de Marnac. A quest for a hidden treasure leads them to the Villas de Sade, a mysterious family estate nestled in the countryside. However, their curiosity unearths more than they bargained for: Alaric's severed head, a relic that radiates an ancient malice. This unearthed relic becomes the vessel for the sorcerer's spirit, possessing the group and reviving Mabille to enact a gruesome spectacle of gore-filled sacrifices. The quiet countryside transforms into a macabre playground, as the locals fall prey to their horrifying rituals. The plot thickens with Elvira's discovery of her late father's secret—the Thor's Hammer amulet hidden in a well. Teaming up with Maurice, they are plunged into a desperate struggle against the diabolic duo of Alaric de Marnac and Mabille. As they fight against the sorcerer's relentless pursuit of his missing body parts and the escalating terror, the curse of the 15th century echoes across time, threatening to consume them all. In the chilling tale of "Horror Rises from the Tomb," past and present intertwine in a relentless dance of death, blood, and dark magic.
