The Russian author Nikolai Gogol wrote his novella Viy as part of a collection of short stories first published in 1835. It is a bawdy tale of the supernatural, with horny witches, errant holy men and an army of nocturnal creatures - the kind of narrative that you find in Apuleius' The Golden Ass, Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales or Jan Potocki's The Manuscript Found In Saragossa. In 1909, writer/director Vasilis Goncharov adapted Gogol's tale into a short film of the same name that was Russia's first horror film. Goncharov's VIY is now lost (along with other silent adaptations from 1912 and 1916), but this feature-length version became the first and only horror film of the entire Soviet era, as well as an influential part of the genre's imaginarium. It is the directorial debut of Konstantin Ershov and Georgiy Kropachyov, although it seems likely that the legendary special effects artist Aleksandr Ptushko, artistic director on VIY, was largely responsible for the film's extraordinary visuals and stylised colours. Ptushko's spectacular stop-motion effects and innovative colour cinematography has seen him referred to as the Soviet equivalent of Willis O'Brien, Ray Harryhausen, and Mario Bava. Despite the high regard in which it is held, VIY is still not as widely seen in the West as the altogether looser adaptation of the novella on which it is based, Mario Bava's haunting and visually striking 1960 horror masterpiece, Black Sunday (La Maschera Del Demonio).
