Nightmare Castle (1964) Buy
the DVD
Directed by Mario Caiano
A sadistic count tortures and murders his unfaithful wife and
her lover, then removes their hearts from their bodies. Years later, the count
remarries and the new wife experiences nightmares and hauntings. The ghosts of
the slain return to exact their bloody revenge. This movie is so richly
photographed and uses Steele to full advantage, and even casts the sultry,
sinister star in a dual role, much like Mario Bava's classic BLACK SUNDAY.
Shown in the US in a severely cut version that is so butchered, it's hardly
worth watching. The original full-length European version is rare, but
definitely worth seeking out.
