---

When his brother disappears, Robert Manning pays a visit to the remote country house he was last heard from. While his host is outwardly welcoming - and his niece more demonstrably so - Manning detects a feeling of menace in the air with the legend of Lavinia Morley, Black Witch of Greymarsh, hanging over everything.

Movie Quote(s): Eve Morley: It's like a house from one of those old horror films. Robert Manning: It's like Boris Karloff is going to pop up at any moment. Movie Trivia: The house used in the film is Grim's Dyke House (now a hotel) in Harrow Weald, Middlesex. The house was formerly the home of William S. Gilbert of Gilbert & Sullivan fame. In its U.S. laser disc edition from the 1990s, the music track of the film was totally modified in favor of a more modern tone score. German Import DVD has two Super-8mm Versions (English language), as a special feature on the disc. Boris Karloff became ill with pneumonia while shooting this project.
