About this product
In one of his first-ever roles, a young Jack Nicholson stars as Lt. Andre Duvalier, a soldier in Napoleon's army in 19th century France, separated from his regiment. He awakens on a beach to the sight of a strange woman who leads him to the gothic, towering castle that serves as home to eerie Baron Von Leppe (Boris Karloff). But, as Duvalier soon discovers, nothing is what it seems in this ghastly, haunted mansion of death! This underground favorite was made in classic Roger Cormanfashion, making the most of his resources to bring yet another film to life on a minimal budget for his producers at American International Pictures. Short on time himself (there were more movies to be made!), Corman left it to a few of the aspiring directors within his crew (among them, Jack Hill, a young Francis Coppola, and even Jack Nicholson taking a turn behind the camera for a few scenes) to help see the film to completion. The Terror would go on to become a drive-in favorite and late-night TV staple, also appearing under the titles the Terror, Lady of the Shadows and the Castle of Terror.

Jack Nicholson is a soldier in Napoleon's army who gets separated from his regiment, but is saved by a strange young woman named Helene (Sandra Knight). Helene resembles Ilsa, the deceased wife of the baron, Boris Karloff. Helene shows Andre (Jack Nicholson) where to find fresh water, and then mysteriously disappears. Captivated by her beauty his search for her leads him to the menacing castle of Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe (Boris Karloff), who reluctantly offers him food and shelter for the night. Investigating who the woman is, Andre stumbles upon a hidden secret of the Baron. After the Baron found Ilsa sleeping with another man named Eric, the Baron kills llsa while his servant kills Eric, her lover. Since then, the phantom of Ilsa (Helene) remained under the control of a peasant witch (Dorothy Neumann), who has commanded her ghost to torment the Baron for the past two years. This is only the beginning, however. Witches, suicides, flooding crypts and dissolving corpses are still yet to come. Another classic Nicholson terror flick, as only he can do it! (80 minutes - 1963 - Color - 4 3)
When InchThe RavenInch finished shooting three days early, a thrifty Roger Corman used the cast and sets for this surprisingly effective chiller. Jack Nicholson plays Andre Duvalier, a lieutenant in Napoleon's army who is haunted by a mysterious woman named Helene (Nicholson's then-wife Sandra Knight) in mad Baron von Leppe's (Boris Karloff) sinister castle. With the great Dick Miller, Jonathan Haze; features scenes from uncredited directors Francis Ford Coppola, Monte Hellman, Jack Hill, and Nicholson. 81 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
The ghostly apparition of a young woman is witnessed by an 18th Century French Lieutenant in Napoleon's army. After two failed attempts to keep up with her, Lt. Andre Duvalier (Nicholson) heads to the castle of Baron Von Leppe (Karloff), where he notices a painting of the Baron's late wife Ilsa, who looks identical to the ghostly woman. Duvalier is now determined to unravel the castle's mystery, and the Baron's hidden secrets. Though officially credited to Roger Corman, The Terror had a total of five collaborative Directors, including Nicholson himself, and Francis Ford Coppola.
