Euro-Gothic duo...
24 Hours of Terror (24 Ore di Terrore) (1964) 
Strange Spanish gothic/giallo/mystery/crime hybrid that seems to chuck everything at the screen to see what will stick. The story concerns a gangster who is being transported to a castle which just happens to be coincide with a mysterious black clothed stranger killing off members of the crime gang.
The acting is overall very wooden, the director Gastone Grandi seems to have an odd fixation with owls and the film does drag out its premise in places. However, there is some great gothic scenery on offer and the mish-mash of styles whilst not totally successful at least makes for a bit of a curio.
54/100
The Third Eye (Il terzo occhio) (1966) 
Whilst Franco Nero does carry this film a great deal as he plays a young Count who lives in an old castle together with his domineering over-bearing mother and their maid - the former of whom is intent on put a halt on his intended marriage - it's still a fairly decent film overall.
Interesting to note that the film is a supposed precursor to Joe D'Amato's
Buio Omega.
