Hercules in the Haunted World
An All New Height in Fright and Might!
Directed by Mario Bava
Produced by SpA Cinematografica
A mythological adventure-horror hybrid where a muscular hero descends into the underworld to save his afflicted lover, blending classical peplum spectacle with supernatural dread.
Upon his return from battle in the previous film, the great warrior Hercules learns that his lover, Daianara, has lost her senses. According to the oracle Medea, Dianara's only hope is the Stone of Forgetfulness which lies deep in the realm of Hades. Hercules, with two companions, Theseus and Telemachus, embarks on a dangerous quest for the stone, while he is unaware that Dianara's guardian, King Lico, is the one responsible for her condition and plots to have the girl for himself as his bride upon her revival.
