Severin Films has detailed its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Riccardo Freda's The Ghost (1963), starring Barbara Steele, Peter Baldwin, Elio Jotta, Harriet Medin, and Carol Bennet. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market during Black Friday.

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.
