I spotted this today in an obscure Italian horror film from the mid 60's called "Castle of the Living Dead", starring Christopher Lee and a young Donald Sutherland in multiple roles (the strangest being an old witch). I wonder if Barry Godber had seen this and based the "Court of the Crimson King" artwork on it? Or was it subconscious? Merely coincidence?
