Horror isn’t always in what’s shown; sometimes it’s in the quiet, unsettling undertones beneath the surface. This scene from Cry Of The Banshee (1970) exemplifies that. Lord Whitman, played by Vincent Price, hosts a feast while his henchmen search the countryside for the killers of a sheep. Two innocent teenagers are pulled into the hall, and a wolf‑like howl from outside warns of danger. While not the most graphic moment in the film, it establishes the deeply disturbing treatment of women and the abuse of authority that runs throughout the story. Vincent Price’s portrayal of Lord Whitman captures both menace and sophistication, creating tension that is as psychological as it is narrative. This clip comes from the newly restored 4K edition of Cry Of The Banshee, the first of the Hammer Presents range, revealing every shadow, gesture, and haunting detail in striking clarity, including both Gordon Hessler’s director’s cut and the AIP theatrical version.
