Graveyard of Horror (1971)

aka Necrophagus

A man goes back to a family castle after his wife dies.  Then he disappears.  A monster stalks a partly destroyed castle in the area, but we do not see the monster.  There is a narrative that is hard to follow and jumps back and forth in time. There is a mad scientist who uses himself as a subject - why don't they understand this never works?  Confusing and often slow moving, the pay off is the face on the box.  Yup, it's scarier in theory than in reality.
