3 CLASSIC FILMS. 1 LANDMARK MINI-SERIES.

In this second collection of Italian Gothic shockers, you're invited to grab your candelabra and enter cobweb-shrouded worlds of violence, madness and sexual deviance that remain unmatched in genre history: Gothic goddess Barbara Steele stars in Antonio Margheriti's certified masterpiece CASTLE OF BLOOD and its Italian version DANZA MACABRA, both restored and scanned in 4K and presented in UHD for the first time ever. JEKYLL is 1969's award-winning four-part RAI-TV sceneggiati from writer/director/star Giorgio Albertazzi that contemporizes the classic tale of man's darkest impulses. Writer/director Corrado Farina reinvents the Dracula legend as a modern-day capitalist conspiracy with his startling and long out-of-print 1971 debut THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE. And a sizzling Rosalba Neri is seduced by Satan himself in 1972's THE DEVIL'S LOVER, finally available restored and uncut. All four titles are now presented in their North American Premieres, newly mastered from the best available elements with over 13 collective hours of Special Features.

Press Quotes

Italian Gothic Horror was a mixture of transgression and excess. It was a laboratory where all the elements that would characterize Italian exploitation cinema were first tested.

     —Roberto Curti, Italian Gothic Horror Films

CASTLE OF BLOOD: A definitive Italian gothic... A marvelously atmospheric thriller and one of the best Italian horror films of the decade.

     —DVD Beaver

CASTLE OF BLOOD: A classic of the genre... Antonio Margheriti's most highly regarded film bears admirable comparison to the similar works of Mario Bava.

     —Mondo Digital

CASTLE OF BLOOD: One of the best Italian horror films of the decade... It's a marvelously atmospheric gothic thriller, and quite properly made the enchantingly spooky Steele even more of a horror icon.

     —All Movie

CASTLE OF BLOOD: One of the greatest ghost stories in Italian cinema... Dripping with Gothic atmosphere, boasting positively Bava-esque cinematography and featuring a mesmerizing performance by Barbara Steele.

     —Mad Mad Mad Mad Movies

CASTLE OF BLOOD: Barbara Steele is amazing... A great gothic horror film with a wonderful cast and some of the best atmospheric camera work to come out of 1960s Italy.

     —Rock! Shock! Pop!

CASTLE OF BLOOD: Classic and classy... One of Barbara Steele's most impressive vehicles, and a cornerstone of the Euro Horror Renaissance.

     —DVD Savant

CASTLE OF BLOOD: A surprisingly sexual slice of Italian gothic horror.

     —Morbidly Beautiful

JEKYLL: A thought-provoking work... Albertazzi took Gothic imagery and reinvented Stevenson's fable. It was unlike anything that had ever been seen on television.

     —Roberto Curti, Italian Gothic Horror Films 1957-1969

JEKYLL: A unique transposition... Director/star Albertazzi sets Stevenson's tale in modern times and switches from Jekyll to Hyde with astonishing ease.

     —Pragma Magazine

THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE: Astounding... Cleverly written, well-acted and excellently shot. Farina keeps a sense of tension running through the entire film.

     —Taliesin Meets The Vampires

THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE: Extraordinary... A rather unique interpretation of the classic story by Bram Stoker that seems more topical today than ever.

     —Italo Cinema

THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE: Lucid and ferocious... Corrado Farina's miraculous reinterpretation of the vampire myth will live in your head long after the film is over.

     —Cinema Italiano Database

THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR FACE: One of the oddest adaptations of Bram Stoker's Dracula... Corrado Farina's film is committed to the creepy, with a version of Castle Dracula that is one of the cinema's most unsettling.

     —Kim Newman

THE DEVIL'S LOVER: Unsavory and entertaining... There's fun to be had for fans of Satanic EuroHorror and Italian goddess Rosalba Neri. She's a delightful and evocative presence.

     —At The Mansion Of Madness

THE DEVIL'S LOVER: Quite enjoyable... Fun and entertaining gothic horror. Rosalba Neri smolders!

     —Cult Movies

THE DEVIL'S LOVER: Definitely entertaining... A mishmash of Satanic horror, sex, torture, and low-cut gowns. If you can't get enough of Rosalba Neri, check this one out.
