Kuvanmukainen italogoottikauhuklassikko eli CASTLE OF BLOOD (aka DANSE MACABRE) (1964) - pääosassa ikoninen kauhusilmä eli Barbara Steele, ohjaus Antonio Margheriti. Sensuroimaton ja restauroitu julkaisu eli ranskankielisestä versiosta on puuttuneet osiot tähän saateltu (dialogi niissä ranskaksi ja tekstitys englanniksi - muilta osin englanninkielinen ja tekstityksen saa myös mukaan). Ostettu eBaysta vuosia, vuosia sitten ja jo heti eilettäin (24.8.2026) otettu muoveistaan pois ja katsottu pitkästä aikaa uudelleen (aiempi näkeminen oli Sinister Cineman kohtuullisen tunkkaiselta VHS-kopiolta ysärin alussa). Mukana Synapsen esitevihko sekä nelisivuinen lärpäke jossa tekstiä elokuvasta.

Vaikka jenkkijulkaisusta kyse (ja oletin tämän olevan R1-versio), niin hyvin pyöritti modaamaton Sonyn Blu-ray-kapistus tämän läpi.

Lähetyskulut lisätään, maksu tilisiirtona.

Synopsis

THE LIVING AND THE DEAD CHANGE PLACES IN THIS ORGY OF TERROR!

When American author Edgar Allan Poe visits London, he is approached by British journalist Alan Foster, who becomes the target of a peculiar wager. Not believing Poe's assertion that all of his macabre stories have been based on actual experience, Foster accepts a bet from Poe and his friend Sir Thomas Blackwood that he cannot spend an entire night in the Blackwood's haunted castle. Once in the abandoned castle, Foster discovers he is not alone. He is approached by two beautiful women, a handsome man and a doctor of metaphysics who explains they are lost souls... damned to replay the stories of their demises on the anniversary of their deaths!
