Question for any Horror Buffs here


Hello all,

This movie is yet the latest film I've watched in what is seeming to be a futile quest to find a Haunted House movie from my childhood so I am wondering if any of you may be able to help me out.

I will give what little details I can remember, I was pretty young at the time but here we go:

-It was a film set in a big Mansion or Castle

-It featured an old white haired women who was a ghost and haunted the place

-She would come at night, chains would rattle to signal her coming, she would kill someone each night I believe, she killed one guy with a mace if I remember

-I am not sure how many occupants there were at the stories beginning, I only know some of them got killed and a young couple for sure survived till the end

-There was an older man, I recall he had some connection to the old woman, maybe a descendant? Maybe her husband, brother, I don't know, but at the very end he confronts here and they struggle as the Mansion/Castle burns to the ground

-It is not "House on Haunted Hill" or "House of Usher"

- I don't know what year it was made, I only know I saw it on TV in the early 80's and we still had a black and white TV at the time so whether it was new enough to be in color or not I don't know.

Thanks in advance to any who may help, I have been searching for this for over 30yrs, watched so many movies I can't begin to recall and I can't find this film.

From the description of the films ending.......sounds like "The Tomb of Ligeia" 1964

With Vincent Price.

That was a good movie, had some similar stuff, but not the one. Thank you tho for trying, I appreciate it, as always it's fun watching these classics even if they aren't the one I'm looking for :)
