Tormented is a 1960 American horror film directed and produced by Bert I. Gordon for Allied Artists Pictures Corporation, and starring Richard Carlson.

[2][3] Jazz pianist Tom Stewart lives in a Cape Cod island community and is preparing to marry his fiancée, Meg Hubbard.

Tom tries to forget, but over the next few days, Vi's watch washes up on the beach, strange footprints appear in the sand, Vi's ghost appears and tells Tom that she will haunt him for the rest of his life and when Meg's little sister Sandy asks to see the wedding ring, a disembodied hand makes off with it.

Before she can speak, the church's doors burst open and cause the flowers to wilt and the candles to die, bringing the ceremony to an abrupt, unpleasant halt.

Nick, the "beatnik ferryman", was played by Joe Turkel, who appeared in two other Gordon productions: The Boy and the Pirates and Village of the Giants.
