Direct from its triumphant 2025 premiere at the Venice International Film Festival comes "Riccardo Freda's masterpiece" (At the Mansion of Madness) featuring a stunning performance by "the greatest femme fatale of EuroShock cinema" (Through the Shattered Lens) Barbara Steele, now in UHD for the first time ever: In turn-of-the-century Scotland, a young wife (Steele) conspires with her lover to murder her wealthy paralyzed husband. But when the dead spouse's spirit returns, it will unlock a nightmare of spectral terror, sudden violence and depraved vengeance. Peter Baldwin (THE WEEKEND MURDERS) and Harriet Medin (THE WHIP AND THE BODY) co-star in the 1963 classic that re-sets the bar for Italian horror, co-written by Freda and Oreste Biancoli (BICYCLE THIEVES) with an intense score by Francesco De Masi (AN ANGEL FOR SATAN). THE GHOST has been scanned in 4K from the thought-lost original camera negative and restored by Severin Films, curated for this Limited Edition with the 2019 documentary EXECUTIONERS, MASKS, SECRETS: ITALIAN HORROR OF THE 1960s, 4 hours of Special Features and a De Masi Soundtrack Compilation CD.
