The casket has a window allowing the face of a beautiful young woman to be seen. A black cat jumps on the coffin and seems to steal the soul of the woman. </p><p>The widower, Verden Fell is both mournful about and feels threatened by the death of his wife, Ligeia. He had sensed her soul's reluctance to die and was concerned about her near-blasphemous statements about God (she was an <a href="/wiki/Atheist" class="mw-redirect" title="Atheist">atheist</a>). Alone and troubled by an eye condition that requires him to wear dark glasses, Fell shuns the world. </p><p>By accident, back at the graveside, he meets a headstrong young woman, Rowena, who pursues him even though she is apparently betrothed to an old friend, Christopher Gough. Against Fell's better judgement, he marries Rowena. Ligeia's spirit seems to haunt their mansion, previously a medieval abbey, and nocturnal visions and the sinister presence of a cat (which may be inhabited by the spirit of Ligeia) distress Rowena. The cat, who first appears at Ligeia's burial, wounds and appears to attempt to kill Rowena several times and Fell unsuccessfully orders its destruction. Ultimately he must face the spirit of Ligeia and resist her or perish. </p><p>The climax of the film takes place when Fell has a showdown with Ligeia, now in the form of a cat. Fell is blinded by Ligeia, but gets the upper hand and strangles the cat, while the tomb around him burns down, due to an accident. Fell and Ligeia perish and Gough and Rowena start a new life together. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Tomb_of_Ligeia&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Vincent_Price" title="Vincent Price">Vincent Price</a> as Verden Fell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Shepherd" title="Elizabeth Shepherd">Elizabeth Shepherd</a> as Rowena Trevanion/Ligeia</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Westbrook_(actor)" title="John Westbrook (actor)">John Westbrook</a> as Christopher Gough</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Derek_Francis" title="Derek Francis">Derek Francis</a> as Lord Trevanion</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Oliver_Johnston_(actor)" title="Oliver Johnston (actor)">Oliver Johnston</a> as Kenrick</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Vernon" title="Richard Vernon">Richard Vernon</a> as Dr. Vivian</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frank_Thornton" title="Frank Thornton">Frank Thornton</a> as Peperel the butler</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ronald_Adam_(actor)" title="Ronald Adam (actor)">Ronald Adam</a> as clergyman</li> <li>Denis Gilmore as livery boy</li> <li>Penelope Lee as maid</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Tomb_of_Ligeia&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Script">Script</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Tomb_of_Ligeia&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Script"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Because the original story was so short, Towne read all of Poe's work and decided to expand on Poe's themes, particularly <a href="/wiki/Mesmerism" class="mw-redirect" title="Mesmerism">mesmerism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Necrophilia" title="Necrophilia">necrophilia</a>.

The crowded metamorphoses of the last ten minutes make for a confused climax. Moreover the blinding of Fell, the destruction of the abbey by fire, the blood-stained embraces of the doomed man and his ghostly beloved, are all too reminiscent of earlier Corman films – too much, in fact, of a formulary, melodramatic hotchpotch. Luckily there are ample compensations. The earlier intimations of horror are put over casually and briskly, notably where the black cat is concerned. Much of the incident is genuinely strange – the cat climbing the bell-tower with Fell's dark glasses gripped between its teeth; the dream in which Rowena is smothered by Ligeia's black tresses. Technically the film is less accomplished than <i>The Masque of the Red Death</i>, but it is still better – certainly more serious and naturalistic – than Corman's Hollywood Poe cycle. Price is a solemn, rather pained Verden Fell; Elizabeth Shepherd, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Honor Blackman, is more mature, positive and husky than any previous Corman heroine. She also doubles adequately for the sinister Ligeia who, the film hints, must have been around at the time the Pyramids were built. The chances are she's still around. At the end of the film one doesn't give a penny for Christopher's chances of a happy future with a girl who only looks like Rowena.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p>Howard Thompson in <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i> of 6 May 1965 wrote: </p><blockquote><p>Mr Corman at least cares about putting Mr Poe — or at least some of the master's original ideas — on the screen.
