Ep1170: Scare-a-Thon 2025: Accademia Giallo: The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave (1971) - Live Roundtable Review
How will the Accademia Giallo crew spend Spooky Season? By digging into The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, of course!
(Or should we say, "of corpse"?)
Emilio Miraglia's 1971 thriller stars Anthony Steffen as Lord Alan Cunningham, a rich, mentally unstable aristocrat obsessed with his beautiful, dead wife. After terrorizing exotic dancers and prostitutes, he settles down with Gladys (Marina Malfatti), whose wedded bliss is undone by apparitions and mysterious deaths around Alan's palatial estate. Has the late Evelyn returned from beyond to haunt her husband? Or is there something more sinister at play?
In this spoilerific appreciation of a truly unique gialli, the roundtable dives into Miraglia's twisted and twisty tale--appreciating the kills and killer performances, and hotly debating an ending that knocked Evelyn down several notches in Ian's estimation!
