On a secluded private island near Nassau in the Caribbean, a curious sextet of people has been ferried in to see off Carl Kovic, an electronics genius reportedly dying. Each of the six has ample reason to loathe Kovic, and yet each one stands to inherit at least $400,000-- even more if fewer heirs remain. Forced to stay in his castle during a seemingly endless storm, and guided by a mysterious housekeeper, the group decides to figure out Kovic's scheme after one of them is violently killed in his room. But is an indigenous island tribe using the supernatural against the group? Is Kovic himself alive or dead, and has he potentially invented something even more evil?

A delightful blend of Agatha Christie-style nailbiter, mad professor thrills, and plentiful other mid-1960s B-movie tropes, CASTLE OF EVIL is an entrancing early color instance of genre film. Directed by Francis D. Lyon (Cult of the Cobra, The Girl Who Knew Too Much), it features the prolific actor Scott Brady (Gremlins, Satan's Sadists, and brother of actor Lawrence Tierney), a wonderfully sharp-tongued Virginia Mayo (White Heat, Evil Spirits) and Shelley Morrison (Devil Times Five, TV's Will & Grace). Vinegar Syndrome Labs is charmed to bring back to life this eerie whodunit, which played extensively on regional US television, breathtakingly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative!
