Plot: Young traveller Allan Grey arrives in a remote castle and starts seeing weird, inexplicable sights (a man whose shadow has a life of its own, a mysterious scythe-bearing figure tolling a bell, a terrifying dream of his own burial). Things come to a head when one of the daughters of the lord of the castle succumbs to anaemia - or is it something more sinister?

Near the very end of the closing credits, the voice of one of the witches can be heard, very faintly whispering, "His issue shall be kings."

Goofs: We know about 6 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Revealing mistakes: A gravestone wobbles as one of the students grabs it.

Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• The movie was dubbed into English, French, and German versions for different markets. Its actors came from varied national and linguistic backgrounds, and so in certain versions it appears that some of them are speaking their lines phonetically. Additionally, the film was shot fairly cheaply using an experimental sound process, and the technical quality of the soundtrack leaves much to be desired. Most versions in distribution through the late 1990s (including those on video) are composites of the German and French versions, which differ for cuts made by the censors in each of those countries. As of 2004, no prints of the English version are known to circulate.
• In order to achieve the strange, dream-like photography, the film was "flashed", in other words, it was exposed to low light before photography.
