The Long Hair of Death: Grace request
In this scene, at the beginning of the film, we see Helen, daughter of Adele the woman accused of witchcraft, sneaking into the castle to beg an audience with the count and plead for mercy for her mother. The scene was shot, like much of the film, inside the magical Castello Massimo in Arsoli, near Rome. The Castello Massimo, a magnificently preserved imposing medieval structure, towers over the small village and is its main attraction.
