Aaron and I just watched this great old b&w called Nightmare Castle. It rocked.
Mad scientist kills adulterous wife and her lover. He tortures them to death, then he cremates his wife's lover and uses the ashes as soil for these creepy carnivorous plants that bleed. He cuts out the wife's heart, but not after draining all of her blood into his old, decrepid assistant, which somehow turns her young again. Then, in an act of spontaneity reserved only for mad scientists living in gorgeous gothic mansions, he marries her little sister. (Played by the same actress, but blond this time.)
Hilarity ensues as he tries to drive the new wife mad so that he may inherit the house and fortune.
This movie was so goth. Every scene was like the inside pages of a Ministry album. I'm thinking of finding some cheesy goth album and playing it over the movie to see if it matches up, a la The Wall/Oz thing, which I've never actually done.
Nightmare Castle--highly recommendable to kill a couple of hours.
