When a journalist accepts a wager that he won't survive the night in a haunted castle, it unlocks an odyssey of sexual torment and undead vengeance.

BOTH VERSIONS NOW RESTORED UNCUT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

It was begun by Sergio Corbucci (DJANGO), completed by Antonio Margheriti (THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH) and remains one of the true masterpieces of Gothic Horror. Now both versions - the Italian DANZA MACABRA and the U.S. release CASTLE OF BLOOD - can be experienced like never before: When a cynical journalist accepts a wager that he won't survive the night in a haunted castle, it will unlock an odyssey of sexual torment, undead vengeance and a dark seductress (the legendary Barbara Steele) who surrenders the gravest of pleasures. Georges Rivière (THE VIRGIN OF NUREMBERG) co-stars in 'a classic cornerstone of the EuroHorror Renaissance' (DVD Savant), scanned in 4K from the original negative and restored by Cinématographique Lyre in collaboration with Severin Films, with 3+ hours of new and archival Special Features that include a selected scene commentary by Steele.
