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 classic 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 w/ 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 w/ over 13 collective hours of Special Features.
