I remember watching Spectre when I was a child. The one scene I can remember vividly was the scene with Dr "Ham" Hamilton waking up to find a young woman in his bed and the other two walking in and setting up what looked like a hot BDSM scene.
Many years later, I managed to find the film starring Robert Culp, Gig Young and John Hurt. The film was produced by Gene Roddenberry and also written by him and Samuel A Peeples. It was meant to be a pilot for a television series but for some reason, was rejected. A pity as I think it would have become a cult classic. The film is first rate with some brilliant acting and dialogue. The scenes with William Sebastian (Robert Culp) who is a former criminologist who now studies the occult and Dr. "Ham" Hamilton (Gig Young) who is something of a Dr Watson to Sebastian's Sherlock Holmes. They are summoned by Anitra Cyon (Ann Bell)who is concerned about her brother, Sir Geoffrey Cyon (James Villier.) A succubus arrives at Sebastian's house in the guise of Anitra making him realize that something evil is afoot. After being picked up by younger brother Mitri Cyon (John Hurt) they arrive at the Cyon home to discover that it has been turned in to a den of iniquity. That is when the fun really begins. The pair begin their investigation and discover that an ancient evil that has taken over the family. I won't give away the rest, I will only to say that it is a great movie, a little over the top at times, but the cast give their all and it is clear to see that they are enjoying themselves. Majel Barrett makes an appearance as Lilith, Sebastian's housekeeper who seems well versed in the magical arts herself. All in all, Spectre is a good film and worth checking out for horror buffs or people looking for something a little different.
