Even on her wedding night she must share the man she loved with the "female thing" that lived in the Tomb of the Cat!

Overview

Verden Fell is shattered after the death of his lovely wife. But, after an unexpected encounter with Lady Rowena Trevanion, Fell soon finds himself married again. Nevertheless, his late wife's spirit seems to hang over the dilapidated abbey that Fell shares with his new bride. Lady Rowena senses that something is amiss and, when she investigates, makes a horrifying discovery -- learning that Fell's dead wife is closer than she ever imagined possible.

    This movie got love, death, and marriage. This movie also plays heavy into hypnosis. The cat is the true star of the movie, getting more screen time than Vincent almost. The pace is great and so is the unfolding of this story. Nothing gore and bloody, but it does keep suspense and the macabre in tact throughout. Although not the strongest in the Poe series that Corman did, it is still a movie that can entertain. Also if Disney wasn't using the title, I feel they could've used "That darn cat!" as a movie title. But it wouldn't pack a punch like Tomb of the Cat or the one it has now....
