Christopher Lee (didn’t we just see him a minute ago?) takes a whip to beautiful Daliah Lavi twice in this film. The first time he whips her on a beach. She is clothed at first but he ends up whipping part of the back of her dress off so we can see the marks. She kills him later in the film, but his spirit returns to flog her a second time. This time she’s lying on a bed and wearing a bodice, but by the end of the scene it’s completely whipped off her and Lee’s spirit is lashing at her flinching bare back. Great scene in an excellent horror movie by Italian maestro Mario Bava (under the psuedonym “John M. Old”).
