Story Synopsis:
Baron Blood is a story of a villainous ghost resurrected to once again occupy his ancient castle. Baron Otto Von Kleist (Joseph Cotton) was, according to legend, a notorious sadist who mercilessly tortured and killed any who stood in his way. The Baron’s modern descendent, Peter Kleist (Antonio Cantafora) pays a visit to the family castle which is being restored for the tourism trade by the current owner Herr Dortmundt (Dieter Tressler) and his assistant Eva (Elke Sommer). Out of curiosity, Peter and Eva recite an incantation and unknowingly re-surrect the evil Baron who uses his ancient torture devices on the castle’s guests.
LaserDisc Picture:
The transfer’s source element was a brand new 35mm theatrical print struck from the original negatives. The aspect ratio is 1.85:1. Overall picture quality is poor with noticeable grain and noise throughout, washed out colors, and pasty fleshtones. Image sharpness and shadow detail is wanting. Some artifacts are noticeable as well.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is undistinguished monaural.
