Die Nächte der Würgerin (1957)
Leonora wird von ihrem Onkel auf das abgelegene Landhaus ihrer Vorfahren geladen. Dieser erzählt ihr von einem 700 Jahre alten Fluch, der auf der Familie lastet, wodurch sich die Seele in einen Leoparden einnisten kann und die Kontrolle über das Tier hat. Leonora will dies nicht glauben, doch kurz darauf wird Edmund von einem Leoparden getötet, wodurch der Fluch auf Leonora übergeht. Der Arzt Dr. Brian Marlowe, Leonoras alte Jugendliebe, geht von einer geistigen Verwirrung aus. Auch bei weiteren Opfern des Leoparden will er ihr keiner Glauben schenken.
