The Gorgon

Jules Heitz, a professor of literature at Heidelberg University, arrives in the village of Vandorf to investigate the circumstances of his son and his son’s girlfriend’s deaths. He is suspicious when Namaroff, the local doctor, refuses to show him the bodies. In the ruined Castle Borski he discovers the living gorgon but is turned to stone by its gaze. His superior, Carl Meister, arrives to continue the investigation. He comes to believe that the gorgon has taken human form as one of the townspeople and only emerges when the moon is full.
