Title: Weren't They Paying NB Enough??
Post by: Patti Feinberg on January 26, 2015, 08:13:58 PM: (Re: the previously mention 1.99 'horror' DVD set, which, again, I believe was just taped on someone's TV).

I am trying to save the best(s) for last; put in "Nightmare Castle" with :) Barbara Steele.

First scene (as a brunette), OMG, she looks so young (1965 movie..?)

Then, her 'step-sister' comes in to take over. Why there would be any physical resemblance isn't mentioned. She's in a pretty crappy faux blonde wig.

Her first night in castle, she hears the requisite spooky noises & sits up in bed.

She is absolutely spot on Carolyn 1995 AND Carolyn Loomis, all in the one partial scene....she doesn't even leave the bed.

A few scenes later, she's Millicent?....later, she's Mrs. Carolyn JebEZ Hawkes.

Really, if you can rent this from your local library, it's worth it to see all the variations on Carolyn!

P.S. I didn't hear it 'explained', but there's 'sort of' a vampirical side story in this movie too.
