The Terror (1963) is a low budget American horror film produced and directed by Roger Corman about a French soldier who finds a mysterious woman who turns out to be a ghost. It is famous for being filmed on sets left over from other AIP productions, including The Haunted Palace. The movie was also released as Lady of the Shadows, The Castle of Terror, and The Haunting; it was later featured as an episode of Cinema Insomnia and Elvira's Movie Macabre.
The movie is sometimes linked to Corman's series of "Poe films," which were made between 1960 and 1964 based on the public domain works of Edgar Allan Poe, but The Terror is not actually based on any text by Poe.
Set in 1806, the film tells the story of a lost French soldier in the Confederation of the Rhine named Andre Duvalier (Jack Nicholson) who is saved by a strange young woman named Helene (Sandra Knight). She looks like Ilsa, the wife of the baron (played by Boris Karloff), who died twenty years before.
Investigating who the woman really is, Andre stumbles upon a hidden secret of the Baron: After he found Ilsa sleeping with another man named Eric, the Baron killed the two of them, or so he explains.

Fresh from "The Raven" (1963), filmmaker Roger Corman cobbled a script together for a new picture to star Boris Karloff, who owed him a few days work. Employing the same sets as "The Raven," and some of the same actors, this time bumping Jack Nicholson up to second lead, Corman, along with the help of his proteges Jack Hill, Francis Coppola, Monte Hellman and Nicholson, finished principal photography for the film in only four days. An intriguing plot of ghostly deception and dark secrets, in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe, unveil in this impressive cult oddity. Sandra Knight, Dick Miller, Jonathan Haze and Dorothy Neumann co-star. The film "The Terror" and related promotional materials are public domain.

However long they love you, we are all standing alone
The terror's in our heads, they don't control the controls
I turn to face the sun, we are still standing alone
At last we'll stand by the terror, it helps us take the controls
We'll save the last sunshine, the way I long to go

We've all tried to come through
