The Devil's Wedding Night
Il plenilunio delle vergini
The 1800s: scholarly Karl Schiller believes he's found the ring of the Nibelungen, which holds great power. It's at Castle Dracula. His twin, Franz, a gambler, asks if vampires frighten Karl; Karl shows him an Egyptian amulet, which may protect him. Franz takes the amulet and sets out ahead of his brother, arriving at the castle first. There he finds a countess who invites him to dine. Later that night, Karl arrives. Coincidently, it's the Night of the Virgin Moon, a night that falls every fifty years and draws five virgins from the surrounding village to the castle not be heard from again. Can Karl protect his brother, find the ring, and rescue any of the women?
A lurid slice of 1970s Euro-horror that mashes vampire lore with gothic treasure hunting, steeped in decadent atmosphere and campy charm.
- Rosalba Neri’s vampiric countess channels giallo glam with a predatory edge—perfect for fans of Eurocult horror queens.
- Dual-role Mark Damon pits scholarly rationality against reckless gambler bravado in a performance that’s as much fun as it is slightly unhinged.
- The film’s blend of vampire mythos and folk legend—plus the eerie Night of the Virgin Moon trope—hits a sweet spot for those who love gothic horror’s twilight zone.
- Practical effects and set design lean into 70s Italian exploitation aesthetics, delivering atmosphere over subtlety in the best possible way.
