Storyline

At the end of the 15th century, a raven-haired woman (Barbara Steele) was sentenced to death because she was considered the murderer of the reigning duke. At the stake, amid atrocious suffering, she casts a terrible curse on those who sentenced her to death and on those present enthusiastic about her execution.

Note: Since most actors here are credited under pseudonyms I have had to rely on online sources to identify which credit belongs to each actor.

Emborg, the messenger
This is the role which many websites list as being played by the credited actor "Jeffrey Darcey", but with no identifications of the actor behind the pseudonym it is impossible to know how this conclusion was reached. If we can identify the actor playing the role then we should be able to know if the credit is his, since all the other pseudonyms bear some relevance to the actors to which they refer.

His beard is clearly false.

This appears to be a different priest from the one above, but again with a false beard.

Basically the same people who were at the funeral plus some additional monk-y types. The monk on the right of the 3rd image may be a 3rd role for Gorgon's Victim, but it's really too out-of-focus to be certain.
