The Horrible Dr. Hichcock

Italian gothic horror film starring Flemyng as the title doc, a demented necrophiliac who subjects his very-much-alive bride to sexual "funeral games" involving a strange drug which simulates her death. One day the doc goes too far and accidentally kills his wife. Twelve years later, Flemyng marries another woman, Steele, only to find that wife No. 1 isn't dead at all and was buried alive. Though she is old and rotting, Flemyng tries to restore his first wife's beauty by stringing Steele up by the heels and draining her blood. Eventually Steele is rescued, the house burns down, and Flemyng and his wife are destroyed. Nevertheless, a sequel, THE GHOST, followed.
