Freddie Francis directs from a Milton Subosky script featuring the villainous skull of the Marquis de Sade. The supporting cast includes Patrick Wymark, Jill Bennett, Nigel Green, Patrick McGee, and Michael Gough. &quot;You will believer a skull can fly.&quot; - maybe, maybe not - regardless, you do get Skull-o-vision. The plot may seems a little silly; but, when you have Peter Cushing in the lead role, you have a character that makes all the supernatural shenanigans all the more... believable. The Crew discuss the film, the cast, and the Skull in a cannot miss episode. Enjoy!
