The Duc de Richleau (Christopher Lee) discovers that a young man of his acquaintance has fallen in with a satanic cult led by BlofeldMocata (Charles Gray). Richleau essentially plays the same roles as Doctor Strange in most Marvel comics, a sort of confident elder statesman seemingly operating on a higher plane. The resulting tone isn't horror's typical fear, but a sort of existential dread; there's more fear that Richleau's companions will scorn his advice than that he himself will be hurt. Loved it!
