I don’t remember much… I would say late 70’s early 80’s… The woman lost her daughter… She kept her body in her house… I think it was her niece and nephew who came to visit… She kept them locked in the house… They tried to escape… Some how in the end I remember her holding her dead daughter and her crumbling in her hands…. It was an older house Victorian looking house if I remember right… With a huge staircase that I believe went up the side of the wall…. It was in color.. English language… I want to say her name was in the title… Mrs. ????? Please help have thought of it often over the years
