Synopsis:
According to legend, “The Castle and Lordship of Otranto shall pass from the present family whenever the real owner should be grown too large to inhabit it.” Manfred, the descendant of a usurping Lord of Otranto isn’t bothered by the legend, until his son is crushed to death by a giant helmet falling from the sky! Manfred’s only child now is a girl, Matilda, but she has fallen in love with a young peasant named Theodore. Could it be that Theodore is the descendant of the rightful heir to Otranto? And what of those rumors of a giant in the castle, which Manfred so easily dismisses?
 
Portraits come to life, statues bleed, and ghosts appear in this supernatural adventure. “Terrors, horrors, and abominations” await all those who enter the Castle of Otranto . . . if they dare. An elaborate set is not necessary. Changes in lighting and a few simple pieces of furniture can distinguish one scene from another.
