Welcome to this special bonus episode where Adrian speaks to Patricia Barsanti down the line from Paris to discuss the fantastic restoration work being done on Castle of Blood (Danza Macabra, Antonio Margheriti, 1964). This Italian gothic horror is one of Adrian's all-time favourite films and is long overdue a restoration and reappraisal, so this is exciting news indeed. If you're lucky, you might be able to hear it in his voice. We had a couple of sound problems in the first few minutes of the interview, but it settles pretty quickly so do stick with it!

The new artwork for Danse Macabre is by artist Milana Kamieva, and can be found on T-shirts and tote bags in the gift shop of the Cinemateque Francais.
