Ercole Al Centro Della Terra, Bava's second official directorial effort, is a fabulous hybrid of Peplum and Horror in which the the legendary Christopher Lee plays the villain of the piece - evil Lycos, the Lord of Darkness and Hercules by British born bodybuilder, Reg Park.

This fifth volume in the Mario Bava Soundtrack Anthology series is made possible with the close collaboration of CAM in whose archives the monoaural mastertapes of the original sessions, discovered complete and in very good condition, has survived after four and a half decades.

Armando Trovaioli, one of the most famous exponents of Jazz Music in Italy and the author of hundreds of original scores for the screen, has written and conducted a symphonic soundtrack based on music typical of the Peplum genre but also characterised by innovative sound experiments.
