All new! An all new height in fright and might!

Hercules in the Haunted World (1961) follows the mythic hero as he journeys into the underworld to retrieve a magical stone that can restore his beloved from a deathly curse. Facing sinister gods, treacherous foes, and armies of the undead, Hercules must conquer both mortal and supernatural trials. This fantasy-adventure blends sword-and-sandal spectacle and gothic horror in a lush, dreamlike vision of heroism, love, and the shadows of the ancient world.
