Giorgio (Renato Pozzetto, My Wife Is a Witch) has to move from Milan to Rome. In order to convince his girlfriend Candida (Gloria Guida, Blues Jeans) to come with him, he promises to find the perfect house for them — and by them, I mean her mother (Lia Zoppelli) is part of the plans — and he finds a mansion for a price that seems too good to be true.

Guida also appears in the prologue, in which she’s another Candida, who has been cursed by her witch of a mother (also Zoppelli) to marry the evil Ali Amman instead of her true love Giorgiafat (also Pozzetto). The witch turns teh young lovers into salt statues and forces their souls to wander for a thousand years and a thousand years more if Candida remains a virgin. Now, they have been reincarnated as…guess who.

There are all manner of poltergeists in this giant house out to keep Giorgio and Guida from making love, including his dog Gaetano, which somehow gets a Southern accent. It even has a scene where Giogio transforms into The Hulk.

This was directed and written — along with Mario Amendola,  Mario Cecchi Gori, Giovanni Manganelli and Enrico Oldoini — by Bruno Corbucci. Yes, the same man who made The Great Silence, one of the most depressing Westerns of all time. Look for him in a cameo as Gateano’s vet.
