The Gorgon. 1964.
Another pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee playing opposite doctors but share very little screen time unfortunately but Terrence Fisher does a great job with the eerie Gothic atmosphere. Barbara Shelley plays the simple assistant to Cushing's character and hides the secret from some but i'm sure we all know how it pans out.
The background score provided by James Bernard is quite haunting right from the start and blends in well with the suspenseful moments in and around the castle. Everyone does a great job with the acting, no one over shadows anyone even Patrick Troughton playing the local policeman does a great job when he appears on screen. A very underrated Hammer Horror feature.
