Nightmare Castle1965

Horror Vault's take

In this atmospheric Italian Gothic chiller, a cold-blooded aristocrat commits an act of savage brutality against those who wrong him — and believes he has buried his sins along with the dead. When he takes a new bride, however, the walls of his ancient estate seem to hold a terrible memory, and the young woman's nights become plagued by visions she cannot explain. Barbara Steele commands the screen in a dual role that anchors the film's creeping dread, while shadows and candlelight do as much storytelling as the script. Nightmare Castle is a quintessential entry in the golden age of European horror.
