Edgar Allen Poe, what have they done to your stories? Parts of some of his stories, "updated," were used in this tale of a young woman who goes to Ravenscroft Institute to teach. The Institute is presumably for troubled girls, but as they start disappearing, our heroine seeks to find out what is going on in this creepy place with its creepy staff. The 1/2 star isn't deserved, but is in honor of John Carradine in his final film.
