The Terror. 1963.

A soldier in the Napoleon Army pursues a young girl only to be saved by a young man and a old woman. He tells them of a young girl he saw. His questioning leads him to a castle and a Baron but something darker may await him.

This has always been a great movie to watch from Roger Corman and even Francis For Coppola, Jack Nicholson plays the young stranded soldier who seems intrigued by the young Elaine, and heads to the Baron's castle played by legend Boris Korloff and his servant Dick Miller.

This was done on a quick note and a somewhat low budget even had 5 directors and at one point Jack sat in the directors chair. It does have some plot holes, and twists, are we watching a ghost story or a witchcraft/black magic film, it doesn't really matter as we are drawn into the movie with a gloomy gothic castle and brilliant acting by all and good make up effects.
