by Peter Saxon (Wilfred McNeilly)
1966 Paperback Library
Classic film-crew-in-peril piece, shockingly similar to Bloody Pit of Horror.
Said film crew sets up in an abandoned Spanish castle and unwittingly revive a hundreds year old dead Count who was an adept in an Aztec death cult. A masochistic director with a sadistic nympho wife, a lecherous Spanish funder, and a rapist Irishman fill out the victims. Luckily the film's writer is an ordained priest, so he's able to do some Jesus magic, although the castle seems to have caught on fire by accident.
The British style of writing took some getting used to, but it ended up being more nasty and entertaining than it lets on at first.
