The Tomb of Ligeia
A stylish Edgar Allan Poe classic scripted by Robert Towne ('Chinatown') and the last of director Corman's eight Poe adaptations. Vincent Price is obsessed with his dead wife, Ligeia, whom he believes is not actually dead, but rather shifted into another body - namely his second wife, Lady Rowena. An under-rated horror classic with an especially fine performance from Elizabeth Shepherd who plays both wives.
