The Gorgon (1964)

In the quaint yet shrouded town of Vandorf in 1910, a series of chilling mysteries commence as a local painter's pregnant lover is transformed into stone, driving him to suicide. The town authorities, cloaked in secrecy, falsely attribute the death to the young artist, thus commencing an eerie tale of intrigue and terror. The painter's father, driven by the need for justice, uncovers a pattern of seven similar petrifying deaths in the past five years, painting a sinister portrait of the seemingly tranquil village. The chilling secret at the heart of these mysteries is Magaera, a Gorgon, who resides within an ancient castle concealed in the woods. With a gaze that turns flesh to stone, she emerges under the full moon's pallor, her victims left as nothing more than chilling stone monuments to her power. The plot thickens when Paul Heitz and Professor Karl Meister, from the prestigious University of Leipzig, arrive in Vandorf. They seek to untangle the twisted web of deceit surrounding the deaths of Paul's father and brother. Their search leads them to the enigmatic Dr. Namaroff and his assistant Carla Hoffman. As they navigate the undercurrents of fear and denial among the town's residents, they inch closer to the chilling truth - the existence of the Gorgon. In The Gorgon, the early-twentieth-century middle-European village provides a perfect backdrop for a narrative that weaves together ancient mythology and the darkest corners of human nature, where the truth is as petrifying as the entity they seek to unmask. As the full moon rises over Vandorf, will the truth be unveiled, or will it remain set in stone? This haunting tale of horror and mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat, your eyes wide in anticipation yet fearful of the terror that lies within.
