What happens
Cry of the Banshee is a 1970 horror film directed by Gordon Hessler and starring Vincent Price. It was released by American International Pictures. It was written by Tim Kelly and Christopher Wicking. Despite the tagline reading "Edgar Allan Poe probes new depths of Terror!" the film is completely unrelated to Poe's work, apart from quoting five lines of his 1849 poem The Bells before the opening credits. The title credit sequence was animated by Terry Gilliam. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
