Storyline

- TriviaThe film's opening credits include special participation by Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff. Both of these actors were long since dead, having died in the late 1960s (Rathbone in 1967 and Karloff in 1969); however, they appear in this film in clips from real films that they had each starred in with Vincent Price: Rathbone in Tales of Terror (1962) and Karloff in The Raven (1963).

Paul Toombes: Miss Peters, as they say in horror movies, you will come to a bad end.
- Crazy credits"With special participation by Boris Karloff (and) Basil Rathbone." At the time of this film's theatrical release in 1974, both of these actors had been dead since 1967 and 1969, respectively, and their "special participation" was actually limited to appearing in this film in clips from real films that they had each starred in with Vincent Price: Karloff in The Raven (1963) and Rathbone in Tales of Terror (1962).

Featured review
BETTER THAN GIVEN CREDIT FOR BY OTHER IMDB CRITICS.
I saw this movie for the first time about a year ago and thought it was genuinely pretty creepy. I am from the Scream generation and believe it or not, saw comparisons between this movie and Scream. It made me feel the same way. It was horror with a little bit of mystery. I am hoping for a dvd release of the film. If you haven't seen the movie, give it a try. You might be surprised.
