Gothic (1986)
The poet Lord Byron (Gabriel Byrne) turns his estate into a haunted and horror-filled playground in this film that purports to tell the story of the night that inspired Mary Shelley (Natasha Richardson) to write Frankenstein. After dispensing a heaping helping of hallucinogens, Byron encourages his guests to share tales of horror as they explore the dark corners of his estate in this typically over-the-top effort from director Ken Russell.

It is not your usual horror film. It is more for those who dwell in the surreal world fueled by opiates.
Shelly (Julian Sands), Mary Shelly (Natasha Richardson), and her half-sister Claire (Myriam Cyr)...
