THE CASTLE OF THE LIVING DEAD is a black-and-white Italian horror film, from 1964, in which a troupe of performers agree to stage a private show at the home of a sinister count.

violence
Villains murder the performers in a variety of ways, including by scythe, an arrow to the eye and hanging by noose. Infrequently, there is bloody detail to the violence.
threat and horror
A murderous villain chases and kills people. An aristocratic scientist is revealed to be a serial killer, who murders his victims with a fantastical serum that also preserves their bodies. A cat is seen to be killed in this manner, but there is no animal cruelty.
additional issues
There is discrimination when a soldier calls a little person, and a person with mutism, 'freaks'. There is infrequent use of mild bad language ('bastard'). There are very mild sex references. Characters smoke tobacco, reflecting the Napoleonic era in which the film is set.
