I have seen this movie once, a long time ago.

The movie was about a photographer who found if he put color crystal into his camera light he could keep the person soul that he was taking a picture of, keeping that person alive for as long as the soul was kept in the light. He did this to himself keeping him alive forever.

I remember a scene. The photographer was taking a picture of a public hanging. When he took the picture the soul of the man being hanged got trapped in the photographers light, keeping the man from dyeing.

This is is a very old movie, maybe late 60s early 70s. Thanks for your help.

Luckily I was just reading about this one the other day. It's The Asphyx (http://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s102asphyx.html) from 1972.

Thanks. That's it. This movie scared the heck out of me when I was a kid.
