Riviere plays a poet who meets writer Edgar Allan Poe and Lord Blackwood at an inn. They bet him he cannot spend the night alone in a certain castle wherein all the inhabitants met their doom on All Soul's Eve. Riviere accepts this challenge and goes to the castle. There he meets Steele and learns that she has no heartbeat. The dead come back to life and re-enact their deaths, most of them horrible murders. Riviere finally runs from the house and is killed when he is impaled on a spiked iron fence. Poe and Blackwood wander by and collect their winnings from the dead man's pocket. One of horror cult queen Steele's best efforts. Director Margheriti remade it as WEB OF THE SPIDER (1970) with Tony Franciosa.
