Here’s a spine-tingler adapted from the classic Poe film story that starred Vincent Price and Elizabeth Bergner. In 16th century Ireland, a cruel Lord Edward Whitman seeks to destroy the ’banshee cult’ of a powerful witch, but she puts a curse on his family. Generations later, Whitman Manor has been moved stone by stone to America and the last of the family, a young brother and sister, seek to escape the curse. But stalking the house, even in modern times, is an ancient spirit or sidhe, a thing that can never die, which has taken on human form. Its name is Roderick, and he has no idea that he isn’t a man of flesh and blood. Also, he’s in love with the sister, whom he plans to marry! Things go awry on the anniversary of the curse when Oona’s descendant, a dealer in witchcraft, arrives at the house and commands the sidhe to begin its evil.
