Someone on another site is looking for this, and I'm reposting it here because it sounds familiar but I don't know what it is either, and I've searched for it to no avail, and it's starting to drive me crazy!!! Thanks in advance.
Here's their description:
Made – best guess, late 1940’s early 1950’s
Viewed – mostly likely, the late 1970s; NJ; WPIX (channel 11); Saturday “Matinee” tv.
Description:
Mystery/Haunted House/Romance
B&W (possibly filmed in color, but viewed on a B&W tv).
Male narrator introduces story, describes the sprawling ancestral home he’s bringing his young bride home to, despite strong advice from various family members*not*to do so – that somehow, living in the house drives the women who inhabit it “mad”. The young couple cheerfully disregard these notions as sentimental, superstitious nonsense.
Notable Scenes:
At one point, the young bride goes into the basement – a vast space, filled with generations’ worth of oddities, heirlooms, old furniture, wine barrels, etc. She wanders about, pushing great sheets of spider webs away, when she*hears*something… Eventually, a spectral figure appears – a moaning woman clothed in a moth-eaten wedding gown and veil who, with arms outstretched “Frankenstein” style, shambles toward the younger woman. The latter (of course) trips and falls as she seeks desperate escape. Her cries alert her young husband, who saves her, but dismisses the incident his wife describes as “hysterical” nonsense.
The final scene takes place many years later. The man and wife are elderly, now, and have lived their entire lives in the house. The man continues to narrate their story/experience. It’s a stormy night, with thunder and lightning flashing outside the tall windows of the couple’s bedroom… A bolt of lightning lights up the bedroom, illuminates the shadow of the woman – we see her in profiled silhouette, sitting bolt upright up in bed, blankets pulled over her legs up to her waist… Her hair is a wild nimbus about her head… The last piece of narration her husband gives is that they should have heeded the warnings they were given so many years ago… and that soon, he’ll have to “put her in the basement, too”.
