Eric (John Hudson) and Jenni (Peggy Webber) Whitlock, a newly married couple, move into the house of Eric's late first wife - an eerie place designed to preserve the dead woman's memory. Soon after the couple moves in, peculiar events begin to occur, and Jenni begins to think she is going out of her mind. Behind the menacing mischief is Jenni's husband, who hopes to drive her into madness so he can take control of her sizable family fortune. The police suspect everyone but the smiling, sinister husband, and it begins to look like Eric will be successful in pushing his poor, innocent wife over the brink of insanity.

English If you like old horror films of an almost gothic nature, I think The Screaming Skull is one that might interest you for a little while. Indeed, it's not a great gem, it's not a film you'll remember for the rest of your life, but it's still an enjoyable retro film that kept me entertained with its interesting focus and its efforts to build atmosphere. It was quite good in places. ()
