Looking for a movie my mom watched in Mexico theaters 1975-1978, Horror Black and White

My mother recently told me she saw a movie when she was 10 in Monterrey Mexico about a woman who goes to a castle to care for an old man (she suspects it was the devil or some demon because he looked scary), in the castle there was a painting of a woman that was hundreds of years old that looked just like her as if she was a reincarnation or descendant. All you could really see from the old man was his hand extending outside the vail of his bed sometimes, he had long nails and a big ring on it, the woman had entered a contract with him/her/it of employment or something where she cant leave and she gets paid a lot, similar to the gary oldman's dracula movie.

Sorry, it sounds like something Vincent Price would have acted in. But you never specified:

  1. If the movie was contemporary of '75 or showed old films
  2. If the movie was strictly Mexican or dubbed American

If it's a Mexican movie, it's most likely it was never shown in USA, thus very few people would be likely to have seen it here.


Try going down Vincent Price's filmography, see if anything rings a bell. Otherwise, ask your mom which Mexican actors were popular in her era in doing scary movies and go down their filmography pages. I'm sorry no one else replied but it's probably by respect, so as not to clutter your page saying "IDK". I've noticed many people aren't respectful enough to come back here and thank the person(s) who found their title, and worse: they never mark it as solved. So if people see lots of replies, they may not click, assuming it's solved and you weren't respectful to users here to mark it as such. 

Anyway, hope this provides *some* help and this 3 months old post is now bumped to the top, too, so maybe someone new will know it. Good luck! :)

It's not black and white, but could it be The Legacy (1978)?
