Editor's Note
DIABOLICAL DR. Z: When Dr. Zimmer invents a miraculous machine that is able to control the minds of others, he is ousted from the medical establishment as a hack. The despondent professor soon suffers a heart attack, and his daughter, Irma (Mable Karr), decides to put her father's discovery to work so she can avenge his death. She takes control of sexy dancer Nadja (Estella Blain) and turns her into a killing machine. Nadja--or Miss Death--seduces the men responsible, one by one, and executes them with poison-tipped fingernails, in a classic film from Jesus Franco.MILL OF THE STONE WOMEN: This uncut classic of Italian gothic horror is a creepy, atmospheric, and unforgettable fairy tale. Shot in stunning Technicolor, the Bava-esque film follows a young artist named Hans (Pierre Brice), who is hired to do a story on a local mill and its reclusive inhabitant, the mysterious Professor Gregorius Wahl (Robert Boehme). Known as the Mill of the Stone Women, the place is populated by statues of infamous female monsters, created by the Professor himself. When Hans meets Wahl's irresistibly beautiful daughter, he is attracted to her despite his love for his fiance. As he finds himself succumbing to her charms, women from the village continue to disappear, and Hans becomes ever more certain that the Professor is hiding a dark secret.
