What happens

The Norliss Tapes is a 1973 American made-for-television horror film directed by Dan Curtis and written by William F. Nolan, starring Roy Thinnes and Angie Dickinson. Framed through a series of tapes left behind by the missing David Norliss (Thinnes), an investigator of the occult, it tells the story of his encounter with Ellen Sterns Cort (Dickinson), a widow and her artist husband James (Nick Dimitri) who has returned from the dead. The film was originally produced by NBC as a pilot for a television series which was ultimately not produced. The film premiered as a standalone movie on the NBC network on February 21, 1973. Years later it acquired a modest cult following on the independent theater circuit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
