"AS GOOD - IF NOT BETTER - THAN ANY MARIO BAVA GOTHIC TALE… A Near Perfect Visual Ghost Story And A True Horror Fan’s Wet Dream!"

Product Description
The Italian Gothic Horror Classic Now Restored In HD From The Original Negative With All-New Bonus Features!

At the height of her career as the dark goddess of Italian horror, the legendary Barbara Steele (BLACK SUNDAY) delivered two of her most memorable performances in this tale of obsession, madness and depravity. Steele stars as a cheating wife who is chained, whipped and tortured to death by her sadistic scientist husband, and as her unstable blonde stepsister whose fate may be even more ghastly. Paul Muller (VAMPYROS LESBOS), Helga Line (HORROR EXPRESS) and Rik Battaglia (SISTER EMANUELLE) co-star in this twisted shocker directed by Mario Caiano, featuring stunning black & white cinematography by Enzo Barboni and the very first horror score by Ennio Morricone. Throw away all those inferior transfers from censored TV prints: This is NIGHTMARE CASTLE like you’ve never seen it before!

EXTRAS:
Featurette with Star Barbara Steele
Featurette with Director Mario Caiano

Barbara Steele fans MUST get this version of the DVD,

By D. Steigman “Movie fan from silents to now” (USA) -

Nightmare Castle is finally coming to DVD in a pristine print from Severin films. It has been reported all over the web about how Severin Films uncovered a negative and are remastering the print in HiDef which will blow away all other releases. I wouldnt expect perfection,but I do expect a super clean transfer, widescreen and uncut. Time to get rid of the grainy or cut transfers.
This movie is an ultra gothic movie, with tons of atmosphere & some shocking gore scenes. You get Barbara Steele(Muriel Arrowsmith) in a dual role. She gets killed by her sicko husband Paul Muller (Dr. Stephen Arrowsmith) when she gets caught having an affair. He remarries a reletive of Barbara Steele(who is blond), Jenny Arrowsmith.
The murdered couple come back to haunt Dr Arrowsmith until they get total vengeance.
That is basically the movie in a nutshell, but what makes this above average is the heavy Gothic atmosphere. If you are in the mood to watch, you will very much enjoy the film. On top of that the transfer of Severin films is going to be the cleanest ever. Very much recommended !
