Tormented ~ 1960 -BW

QUICKIE: A man is tormented by the heavily perfumed, seaweed ghost of the ex he murdered.

PLOT: On an island community off of California, Tom Stewart is preparing to marry the woman he loves. His plans are threatened by his old girlfriend, Vi, who shows up secretly. During a confrontation at the top of the island's lighthouse, the railing breaks and Vi falls. Tom has a chance to save her but doesn't. Tom's relief at Vi's accident soon fades when her vengeful spirit begins showing up wherever he goes...

SUMMARY: "What is that smell?" is frequently said when the ghost of Vi comes around. I guess she's a self conscious ghost who's embarassed by her stink of seaweed, so she covers it up with loads of perfume. This is the only courteous thing about the ghost of Vi who is out to make sure that no one will have Tom but her. Problem is, Tom is gonna marry another girl. So, hauntings and seaweed droppings ensue, with only the blind little old lady figuring out Tom killed a girl who's now a slimy seaweed ghost. ("Just like that little boy who drowned ten years ago"...) The younger sibling Sandy gets all mixed up in the danger when she witnesses Tom kill a man who tried to blackmail him with his knowledge of the disappearance of Vi. Things come to a very scary, hauntingly fitting end.
