Sadly, they did try a remake, and it's dreadful={ It's not a period film, and they threw in some "yucky" stuff for the dirty old men (probably some younger ones, too). Blech!
"Ligeia" aka "The Tomb" (2009) is definitely worth MISSING! I wish that I had; I just kept thinking it would get better, but it never did.
From IMDb:
Successful writer and scholar Jonathan Merrick falls under the spell of the irresistible, bewitchingly beautiful Ligeia. She's fighting a fatal illness and she will stop at nothing to defeat death, her one true enemy. She steals other people's souls and on her quest to immortality she tricks Jonathan into supporting her work, breaking him apart from his fiancé Rowena and pulling him into her dark, mysterious world. They settle down in an old manor by the Black Sea where Ligeia's everlasting presence slowly drives Jonathan to madness...
