The Terror

Jack Nicholson is a soldier in Napoleon's army who gets separated from his regiment, but is saved by a strange young woman named Helene (Sandra Knight). Helene resembles Ilsa, the deceased wife of the baron, Boris Karloff. Helene shows Andre (Jack Nicholson) where to find fresh water, and then mysteriously disappears. Captivated by her beauty his search for her leads him to the menacing castle of Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe (Boris Karloff), who reluctantly offers him food and shelter for the night. Investigating who the woman is, Andre stumbles upon a hidden secret of the Baron. After the Baron found Ilsa sleeping with another man named Eric, the Baron kills llsa while his servant kills Eric, her lover. Since then, the phantom of Ilsa (Helene) remained under the control of a peasant witch (Dorothy Neumann), who has commanded her ghost to torment the Baron for the past two years. This is only the beginning, however. Witches, suicides, flooding crypts and dissolving corpses are still yet to come. Another classic Nicholson terror flick, as only he can do it!
