(1965, , Updated 03-20-25) Barbara Nelli, Paul Muller, Erika Blanc, Gordon Mitchell, Michel Forain. This is a great B&W supernatural Euro-horror film, much in the spirit of three other Italian chillers:  Castle of Blood, The Horrible Dr. Hichcock, and Nightmare Castle.  In fact, the only thing missing is Barbara Steele.  The setting is an eerie castle-mansion, complete with torture dungeon and graveyard...
