Classic British horror starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The village of Vandorf seems to be cursed with an ancient evil when a series of murders take place. The victims are all turned to stone, and after his son, Bruno (Jeremy Longhurst), is used as a scapegoat following his suicide, Professor Heitz (Michael Goodliffe) arrives to investigate the strange goings-on. The mysterious Professor Namaroff (Cushing) and local police chief Inspector Kanof (Patrick Troughton) close ranks, making it clear that the professor is not welcome, and soon he too has been turned to stone, but not before leaving a note for his other son, Paul (Richard Pasco), warning him that the Gorgon of Greek mythology is at work in the village.
