The Tomb of Ligeia (Trailer)

The Tomb of Ligeia (1965) is an American International Pictures horror film starring Vincent Price and Elizabeth Shepherd in a story about a man haunted by the spirit of his dead wife and her effect on his second marriage. The screenplay by Robert Towne was based upon the tale "Ligeia" by American author Edgar Allan Poe. The film was directed by Roger Corman, and was the last in his series of eight film adaptations largely based on the works of Poe. Tomb of Ligeia was filmed in England (at Castle Acre Priory and other locations) with a mostly English cast, and is marked among the Corman-Poe cycle for its atypical outdoor scenes and opulent settings.
