Nightmare Castle, Castle of Blood, Terror-Creatures from the Grave (Severin)

[Akijama]

As we first revealed here, Severin Films is giving Steele’s 1965 chiller NIGHTMARE CASTLE (a.k.a. THE FACELESS MONSTER among other titles) its hi-def disc debut August 18. The actress takes a dual role in Mario Caiano’s film, which features the equally legendary composer Ennio Morricone’s first horror score: Steele plays a woman who, along with her lover, is tortured to death by her sadistic husband and then returns from the grave, and her unstable stepsister. Restored in hi-def from the original negative, NIGHTMARE CASTLE will be accompanied on the Blu-ray by two more Steele flicks, both presented in 2K scans of rare U.S. 35mm release prints: CASTLE OF BLOOD and TERROR CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE. Other special features are:

• Exclusive new audio commentary by Steele and horror historian David Del Valle
• “Barbara Steele in Conversation” featurette
• Interview featurette with director Caiano
• TERROR CREATURES featurette with director Massimo Pupillo, actor Riccardo Garrone and film historian Fabio Melelli (in Italian with optional English subtitles)
• TERROR CREATURES deleted scenes (in French with optional English subtitles)
• Trailers

Beyond that, Gregory reveals to Fango that Severin will bring the Italo-classic Barbara Steele-starrer NIGHTMARE CASTLE to Blu-ray. “We’re hopefully doing a commentary with Barbara next week,” he says, “and we’re also going to include the American cuts of CASTLE OF BLOOD and TERROR CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE in HD. We’ve transferred them from good prints
