The Queen of Horror Barbara Steele hits Blu-ray with a trio of Italian Gothic Horrors packed with special features. In NIGHTMARE CASTLE, Steele has the dual role of the duplicitous Muriel, murdered by her mad husband who then marries her innocent lookalike stepsister Jenny. Her husband and the maid attempt to drive Jenny mad, but the ghosts of Muriel and her lover will use her to take grisly revenge. In CASTLE OF BLOOD, a young journalist accepts a wager to spend the "Night of the Dead" in a haunted castle where he meets the beautiful Elisabeth (Steele) and other residents who are neither living or dead. In TERROR-CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE, the ghost of a doctor who experimented with the occult uses the spirits of plague-spreaders to avenge himself on those who betrayed him. Steele plays his wife who may or may not know more about the string of gruesome murders.
