    **_Features Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee, but way too much filler_** A researcher of the occult and esoterica (Peter Cushing) apprehends the skull of the nefarious Marquis de Sade and learns that something evil is attached to it, which negatively influences its owners. Patrick Wymark plays his source for artifacts while Christopher Lee plays a rival collector.

There’s just way too much filler. ...
