Even an appearance by Dick Miler — who was in just about every Roger Corman movie — can't save this excruciatingly dull outing, reportedly made in two or three days while Corman still had access to sets left over from The Raven (and had Boris Karloff still under contract).
The year is 1806, and Jack Nicholson is Andre Duvalier, one of Napoleon's soldiers, who gets stranded alone on a beach, and is lured toward a castle by the ghost of a woman who looks like the long-dead wife of the baron (Boris Karloff) who lives there. Duvalier wanders around the castle, and around the beach, and you're so bored out of your mind, you wish you has your own castle so you could jump off the top of it.
The baron says the ghost is his long-dead wife, whom the baron murdered, along with her lover, when he caught them in flagrante. (If you make it this far into The Terror, wou'll be wishing the baron — or the lover, or anybody — had killed you, too.)
In reality, the lover killed the baron and assumed the baron's identity. And then there's something about a witch... but by this time, you just won't care.
