Released: 13th February 2023. Collection of three giallo features from the 1970s. In 'The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave' (1971) disturbed aristocrat Lord Alan Cunningham (Anthony Steffen) struggles to come to terms with the sudden death of his wife Evelyn (Paola Natale). Now spending his time scouring local bars for women who resemble Evelyn so he can take them back to his mansion to torture and kill them, his cousin Farley (Umberto Raho) suggests he remarry in an attempt to move on. Taking Farley's advice, Alan moves to London and quickly marries Gladys (Marina Malfatti). However, when a number of his relatives start meeting untimely and gruesome deaths, Alan begins to suspect that Evelyn may have come back from the dead and is responsible. 'The Iguana With the Tongue of Fire' (1971) sees a woman brutally murdered in Ireland, her body found in the limousine owned by the Swiss Ambassador Sobiesky (Anton Diffring). He refuses to co-operate with the police's investigation on the grounds of diplomatic immunity but when it is later discovered that he was in a relationship with the murdered woman, can former detective John Norton (Luigi Pistilli) get to the bottom of the crime? Finally, in 'The Suspicious Death of a Minor' (1975) a young prostitute is found murdered. Undercover detective Paolo Germi (Claudio Cassinelli) is assigned to the case and begins hunting down the Milanese crime gang responsible but as the investigation continues, a mysterious hitman begins taking out the witnesses before they have a chance to testify.
