Edgar Allan Poe probes new depths of terror!
Cry of the Banshee (1970) follows an oppressive English nobleman in Elizabethan times whose ruthless persecution of villagers accused of witchcraft summons the ire of a surviving coven. As the coven’s curse unfolds and a supernatural avenger is unleashed upon his household, dread and retribution tighten around his family. This gothic horror blends period witchcraft and occult vengeance in a chilling study of power, persecution, and supernatural reprisal.
