The infamous Dr. Hitchcock performs seances and black magic rituals to ease
the pain of a debilitating illness. Overwhelmed by sadistic demands, his
beautiful young wife concocts a plan to murder the doctor and inherit his
riches. The ghastly voice of the murdered professor echoes through the haunted
mansion when his ghost returns seeking vengeance. The wife's terror and the
spirit's bloodlust lead to a horrific confrontation and their ultimate doom.
The Ghost (originally released in Italy as Lo Spectro) is the second film by
Riccardo Freda to detail the gruesome crimes of Dr. Hitchcock. In addition to
The Horrible Dr. Hitchcock (1962), Freda's other legendary films include I
Vampiri (1956), Caltiki, The Immortal Monster (1959) and Samson and the Seven
Miracles of the World (1962).
