What it’s about. Der Student Peter Kleist, ein Urenkel des Barons Otto von Kleist (aka "Baron Blood"!), reist nach Wien, um dort die eigenen Wurzeln zu schauen. Im "Schloss des Teufels", wo der gute Otto einst residierte und zur Prime-Time-Unterhaltung die Streckbank anschmiss, lernt er die Studentin Eva kennen, mit der er die schummerigen Gemäuer erkundet. Just for fun probiert man eine alte Beschwörungsformel aus, deren Konsequenzen allerdings wenig Spaß versprechen: Der einst von einer Hexe gebannte Baron entsteigt seinem Grab und verbreitet Angst und Schrecken!.
