Why then should the young and beautiful Katya be at the castle door attracting the close attention of the gaoler and wanting a job looking after Countess? Is it revenge or some more ghostly visit from Bathory’s past? And if she should help her escape …
Starring Josephine Arden, Mike Garnell, Fiz Marcus, and Andrew Ward
