Golden Age Hooptober 8.0 challenge with this movie set in Greece.

“Dr. Drossos: I meet my old familiar enemy, Death. I've fought him before. I've won, often. Now he wins. Let him come for me.”

Epidemics, quarantines, superstitions? Well this isn’t set in today’s times but it feels very much like it. It’s dark, moody and has wonderful Boris Karloff. The acting is good by the others, but their story is minimized so much that the only characters that stand out is Boris Karloff as the General, superstitious old lady Madame Kyra, young gorgeous Thea who is believed to be a “vorvolakas” (Greek folklore of vampires), and the mysterious Mary who doesn’t want to be buried alive. I don’t blame her.

This was a fun rewatch and I loved it!

Oh and this is another of Martin Scorsese’s top favorite scary movies.
