The Tomb of Ligeia

A widowed aristocrat (Vincent Price) mourns his wife, but quickly develops a new romantic relationship after meeting Elizabeth Shepherd's character, Lady Rowena Trevanion / Lady Ligeia. Yet the soul of Ligeia seems to be haunting the estate and the apparently mesmerized Baron is hiding something - literally being controlled by someone who was dead. The film tells of a man haunted by the spirit of his dead wife and her effect on his second marriage, set amidst a crumbling castle in 19th century England where a black cat seems to steal the soul of a beautiful young woman at a funeral.
