Anecdotes
Arnold Schwarzenegger was inspired to become a bodybuilder because of Reg Park's performance and physique in this film.

Gaffes
Re the above, for the record Pluto's daughter is not called Persephone in the original version, but 'Meiazotide'. Theseus calls her "the child of Pluto and the woman he took from her mother." (spelling and quotations from Talida Barbé's subtitles on the 2019 Kino DVD of the Italian version with English subtitles).

"Oh, Gods Of Darkness! Do Not Abandon Me!"...

Directed by Mario Bava, HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD stars Reg Park as the human steam engine of the title. It also has the one and only Christopher Lee as the eeevil King Lico!

Big H is given the opportunity, almost immediately, to toss a hay wagon at some of Lico's warriors. His glistening, gleaming physique barely straining in the process!

Soon enough, Herc must embark on a quest to end a curse and rescue a princess. Along with his comrade, Theseus (George Ardisson), he must locate a magical object, and enter Hades itself!

Due to Bava's involvement, this is an exceptional example of its sub-genre, with the Director's flair evident throughout. Park is quite good in his bulging role, adding a certain amount of pathos to the character. For his part, Lee does what he does best, by being as wicked as possible!

The story is effective, complete with a big twist. There are some nice touches along the way, including the talking, robotic rock man, the bleeding vines- containing the souls of the damned, and the molten lava beds. The finale is also great, with a battle against the undead and Lico himself!

Fans of these films need to watch this one right now!...
