Hello, this is Edgar Wallace…. and off to the “races” on a wild jaunt over the moors — through fog enshrouded streets of London and the English countryside. Hairpin turns, murder, heists, blackmail, and revenge from “beyond the grave”. Oh, and throw in the obscure lost relative with an inheritance to collect whether they know it or not. All girl schools as a front to counterfeiting, human trafficking with obscene behavior and the occasional voyeuristic goings on.

This is the world of the “Krimi” or German crime horror-thriller. And the film we are about to delve into is no exception.

Hound of Blackwood Castle (1968)-
