“Nightmare Castle” is a 1965 horror movie directed by Mario Caiano. The movie takes place in an isolated castle in the 19th century, where a wealthy scientist named Stephen Arrowsmith (Paul Muller) lives with his wife Muriel (Barbara Steele) and his mistress Solange (also played by Steele).
The story begins when Stephen discovers that Muriel has been unfaithful to him with his own doctor, and he decides to torture and kill both of them. Before dying, Muriel curses Stephen and Solange, and their souls are doomed to wander the castle forever.
Years later, a young couple, Jenny (Helga Liné) and her husband, arrive at the castle. Jenny has been invited by Stephen to stay there and help with his research. But as soon as they arrive, strange things start to happen. Jenny sees apparitions of Muriel and Solange, and Stephen’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic.
Jenny eventually discovers the truth about what happened to Muriel and Solange and finds herself in danger as she becomes the target of Stephen’s twisted experiments.
In the end, the curse is broken, and justice is served as Stephen meets his demise.
