The Terror (1963)

The story of how this movie was made is much more interesting then the movie itself. "The Terror" was conceived as a way to take advantage of old sets from the movie "The Raven" before they were taken down. The castle scenes were filmed over two days, and later scenes filmed piecemeal at other locations there after. The movie went through constant rewrites and five directors (including then film student Francis Ford Copula) and as a result makes very little sense. The only movie in which Jack Nicholson appears on screen with his then wife Sandra Knight. Also featuring Boris Karloff and Dick Miller. It's really bad. *
