Just studied the Wikipedia of "ABC Movie of the Week" thinking I might find this movie, but haven't yet.  It was one of those scary movies that was probably made for tv.  A semi-homely brunette actress and her husband lived in an old house, with a lake.  I think the wife's sister comes to visit?  And is messing around with the husband?  Anyway, I remember a scene where someone in a white nightgown is floating under the water of the lake that scared the BEJESUS out of me as a child.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

It might be 'What Lies Beneath'  with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer... :-\\

I'm fairly certain it was from the early to mid seventies...

Was Karen Black the actress?

Was Karen Black the actress?


Don't think so.  She looked more like Karen Carpenter, only more toothy....

Was Karen Black the actress?

You must be thinking of Burnt Offerings.

Sorry no, but I checked out that list of horror films from the 70s and ran across "Mark of the Devil", I remember that as a gimmick the local theatre gave out barf bags to everyone who went in. We all took our lunches to school in them later.

Got it!  The movie was "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" and the actress was Zohra Lampert.  Anyone else remember this 1971 creeper?

Thanks for the help anyway!  The title just finally came to me.
