The Tomb of Ligeia	comment	The Tomb of Ligeia is a 1964 horror film directed by Roger Corman, loosely based on the Edgar Allan Poe story "Ligeia". The screenplay was written by Robert Towne.It tells the story of a recently widowed man named Verden Fell (Vincent Price) who is haunted by the spirit of his first wife, Ligeia, despite her passing. When he marries the beautiful and headstrong Rowena Trevanion (Elizabeth Shepherd) against his better judgment, strange and unsettling things happen within the mysterious abbey Fell made his home. Adding to the horrors is the appearance of a black cat that threatens the life of Rowena and the memory of his first wife torments Fell as he is forced to resist her or perish...The eighth and last film in Corman's so-called "Poe Cycle", it was not particularly successful either critically or commercially, although the director later cited it as one of his better Poe films.

The Tomb of Ligeia / int_2d93999b	comment	Pastimes Prove Personality: Rowena rides around recklessly on her horse like a classic Spirited Young Lady. Verden is more the artistic type, studying ancient art and making replicas (because he doesn't agree with the common archaeological practices of the time which often amounted to just taking anything you like), showing him as highly intelligent, introverted, and unconventional in his approach to things, as well as rather isolated, showing more interest in what happened thousands of years ago than in the day-to-day world.
