 La Vendetta Di Lady Morgan. (1965) – Massimo Pupillo.

Buxom beauty Barbara Nelli's ill-fated lady Susan is undeserving of her ghastly fate at the scheming hands of Vulpine vamp Erika Blank's hypnotically horrid governess, her evilly Gaslighting husband Harold (Paul Muller), and sizzlingly statuesque bad boy butler (George Mitchell). Massimo Pupillo's atmospheric, beautifully shot, crisply paced, seductively spooky melodrama has an especially tragic heroine, oodles of Machiavellian menace, and concludes bloodthirstily in a memorably macabre fashion! Ghostly Gothic terror treat La Vendetta Di Lady Morgan remains an absolute must for lovers of moody Italianate B-Movie baroque. With such a conspicuous flair for invention, it's a very great shame that maestro Pupillo never made another horror film. I must hereby happily confess that I had the greatest sympathy for lady Morgan's vengeance!

  By a man's face you shall know him. (1966) – Tai Kato. I have to hand it to Radiance, since they keep on putting out exemplary titles...
