Screening as part of the Brattle's Roger Corman: King of Cult series!

Star Vincent Price, director Roger Corman, and screenwriter Robert Towne hook up for horror in Edgar Allan Poe’s most terrifying tale of passion, possession, and purr-fect evil! 

When a dead wife sinks her claws into immortality—and comes back as a ferocious feline—she leads her husband’s new bride on a deadly game of cat and mouse. And when the fur starts flying, she soon learns that even in death... she can land on her feet! Elizabeth Shepherd and John Westbrook co-star in this chilling conclusion to Corman’s Poe cycle of films.
