“The tortured ghost who claims vengeance in the bride's bedroom!”

Eric Whitlock (John Hudson) brings his new wife Jenni (Peggy Webber) home to the big, isolated mansion where his first wife, Marianne, died in a freak accident. Jenni has a history of mental illness, and soon she starts seeing things in the house, among them a skull she can't quite prove is there. Alex Nicol, who also plays the groundskeeper Mickey, keeps the focus on a marriage in which Eric watches Jenni and Jenni can no longer trust what she sees.
