Summary:
Dr. Alan Harker (Antonio Mayans) rides to the crumbling castle of his former university professor, Dr. Roderic Usher (Howard Vernon), to find the old man caught in the grip of paranoia, his mind eroded by his ongoing attempts to resurrect his comatose daughter Melissa (Francoise Blanchard) with the blood of abducted women. As he nears inevitable death, Usher enters a twilight world that exists between life and death. There, he is taunted by the blood-drinking ghost of his dead wife, by his faithless housekeeper (Lina Romay), and by the various women he has bled to death over the years in the service of his daughter!
