Polselli's Delirium (Delirio caldo) (1972) is absolute
perverse pandemonium. Mickey Hargitay is an impotent doctor by day, and
psycho sex maniac by night. His wife has dreams of Mickey being a
dungeon sex master who tortures women. Their maid is so infatuated by
Mickey that she sucks her shoulder to get off. And then Mickey is
assigned to help the police find the killer of his own victims.

Renato Polselli's The Reincarnation of Isabel (also known as Black Magic Rites) (Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel trecento ...) (1973) is a nearly incomprehensible fever dream of cinematic imagination. Mickey Hargitay purchases a castle that is occupied by a group of vampires waiting for enough virgin blood to bring back to life the queen witch, Isabel. He throws a housewarming (castle-warming?) party, and the film begins its descent into lunacy. Alternating between past and present, we're shown glimpses of Isabel's torture and execution. For the rest of the movie, Polselli offers a nightmarish montage of abduction, torture, and ritual as the vampires accumulate enough virgins to complete their ceremony.
