About A Spectre Haunts Europe
A Spectre Haunts Europe is a 1923 Soviet silent horror film directed by Vladimir Gardin and written by Georgi Tasin. It was made by the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic's production company VUFKU. It is based on Edgar Allan Poe's 1842 short story The Masque of the Red Death. The film features a massacre on the Odessa Steps which may have served as an inspiration for the more famous scene in Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Vladimir Yegorov. Cameraman Boris Zavalev filmed the movie on location in Crimea. Many reference sources list the film as 1921, but it was actually only released in 1922.
